How to Scan QR Code On Your PC

Posted ASHISH PANDEY

It’s odd that you want to scan a QR code right from your PC, but sometimes there is a need. Doesn’t make any sense to pull out your smartphone to scan it from your computer’s monitor and view it on the tiny device when you have the big monitor right in front of you.

QR code is short for Quick Response code, very much like the bar code you find on the back of any product you can buy from a supermarket. There were a period of time we aren’t sure if the QR code will survive. But apparently, the usability has got better over time with a wide spread of smartphone population. It’s cool to pull out your phone and scan it.
Well wait no more, you can do the same right from your PC as well.
Thanks to addictivetips for sharing this neat tool, CodeTwo QR Desktop Reader, makes all those possible.

Download the tool, after installing it. You can read the QR code in two forms. One is upload an image file that contains the QR code, the other method is scraping right from your computer’s screenshot. Click “From screen” to make a selection around the QR code, release the mouse, Code Two QR Code Desktop Reader does the rest of the job.
If you are interested you can always generate your own QR code to try it out.
