QR Code Reader API

healthy 4,810 Subscribers

Read (decode) a QR code from an image — the inverse of a QR generator. Pass an image URL (we fetch it) or a base64 image (a data-URI or raw base64) and get back the decoded text or URL, the QR version and the corner coordinates of the code within the image. PNG, JPEG, BMP, TIFF and GIF are supported (up to 10 MB); large images are downscaled automatically so decoding stays fast. Decoding runs locally (no third-party scan service) and nothing is stored. Every call is live. 2 endpoints. Built for scanning uploaded QR codes, processing screenshots and documents, ticket and coupon validation, and back-end automation. No upstream key.

Base45 API

Encode and decode Base45 (RFC 9285) — the compact binary-to-text encoding designed to pack densely into the alphanumeric mode of QR codes, best known as the carrier for the EU Digital COVID Certificate. The encode endpoint turns text (UTF-8) or raw bytes given as hex into a Base45 string; the decode endpoint turns a Base45 string back into bytes, returned as hex and — when the bytes are valid UTF-8 — as text. It uses the official 45-character alphabet (0-9, A-Z and a handful of symbols), packs two bytes into three characters (or one byte into two), and validates length and value ranges strictly so malformed input is rejected rather than silently mangled. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for QR-code payloads, digital health and travel certificates, alphanumeric-mode encoders, and any binary data that must survive an uppercase-only channel. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This is Base45 specifically; for base64, base32, hex, URL or HTML entity encoding use a general encoding API.

vCard API

Generate and parse vCard (.vcf) contact cards. Build a standards-compliant vCard 3.0 from simple fields — name (or first/last), organisation, job title, one or more phone numbers and emails, websites, a postal address, birthday, note and a photo URL — ready to download as a .vcf or embed in a contact QR code (pair it with the QR API for "scan to save contact"). Or go the other way: parse any vCard string back into clean structured fields. Pure local processing — no key, no third-party service, nothing stored. Live. 3 endpoints. Built for digital business cards, contact QR codes, address-book import/export, CRM integrations and email-signature tools.

QR Code with Logo API

Generate branded QR codes with a centre logo overlay, custom foreground and background colors, chosen size and error-correction level, as PNG or SVG. When a logo is supplied the error-correction level is raised automatically so the code stays scannable, and the logo is placed on a rounded white plate in the centre. Includes one-call helpers that build the correct payload for you: a Wi-Fi-join QR (SSID, password, encryption, hidden), a vCard contact QR (name, phone, email, organisation, title, URL, address) and a batch endpoint that returns up to 100 QR codes in a single request. Supply a logo by public URL, base64 or a raw binary body; receive results as base64 PNG/SVG JSON or, with raw=1, the raw image bytes. Pure server-side rendering (qrcode + sharp), no third-party upstream. Ideal for marketing and packaging, business cards and events, restaurant menus, Wi-Fi sharing and app onboarding.
