ExtractFoxExtract QR codes from images
Drop a photo, screenshot, or PDF containing one or more QR codes — get every decoded value back. Works on URLs, Wi-Fi credentials, vCards, payment requests, and plain text. Multiple QRs in the same image come back as separate entries.
Why this matters
Most QR scanners expect you to point a phone at the code. When the QR is in an email screenshot, a flyer PDF, an event ticket, or a poster you photographed across a room, you need a tool that decodes from the image — not from a live camera. ExtractFox handles partial captures, angled shots, and multiple codes per image.
How it works
- Step 1Upload
Photo, screenshot, scanned poster, PDF page. Multiple codes per image are supported.
- Step 2Decode
Every QR code is decoded. URLs, Wi-Fi configurations, vCards, and plain text are parsed into structured fields.
- Step 3Copy or export
Plain text, JSON with parsed fields, or CSV if the image has many codes (e.g., an inventory sheet).
Sample output
Example: a flyer photo with three QR codes

| MECARD:N:Smith,John;TEL:+14155552671;EMAIL:john@example.com;; | vcard | {"name":"John Smith","phone":"+14155552671","email":"john@example.com"} | bottom-left |
Frequently asked questions
How do I extract a QR code from an image or photo?+
Upload the image here. Every QR code in the image is decoded and the values come back as structured data. URLs, Wi-Fi credentials, contact cards, and plain text are all parsed into typed fields.
Can it extract a Wi-Fi password from a QR code?+
Yes — pick the Wi-Fi credentials mode. Wi-Fi QR codes use the WIFI: format and contain the SSID, password, and security type. They come back as parsed fields ready to type into your device.
Does it work if the QR code is angled or partly cut off?+
Mostly. The model handles modest perspective distortion and minor cropping the same way a phone camera does. Heavily damaged or significantly occluded QR codes may not decode — try a different photo if possible.
What about multiple QR codes in the same image?+
All codes in the image are decoded and returned as a list. Useful for inventory sheets, event ticket pages, and posters with multiple links.
Can it extract QR codes from a PDF?+
Yes — upload the PDF, every page is scanned for QR codes, and results come back grouped by page.
Will it decode obscure formats like vCard, geo, or SMS?+
Yes. vCard, MECARD, geo: links, SMS, mailto, and tel: codes are all recognized and parsed into the relevant fields.
