QR Code Reader API

QR Code Reader is a QR code scanner API that decodes text and web links from uploaded QR code images. Send a JPG, PNG, or GIF file up to 10 MB to retrieve the raw encoded payload, with paid plans adding corner coordinates.

The QR Code Reader API provides a simple, reliable way to integrate qr code reader functionality into your applications. Built for developers who need production-ready qr code reader capabilities without the complexity of building from scratch.
