Phone and PC don't share a clipboard

Text, codes and numbers are often on device labels, in documents or in apps — readable on your phone, but hard to get onto your PC without clunky workarounds.

Frequently asked questions

What content can I transfer with qr2desk?

Anything that exists as a QR code: URLs, plain text, serial numbers, IBANs, passwords, tracking numbers, contact details, activation codes, Wi-Fi credentials. If no QR code exists, most apps can generate one from text quickly.

Do I need to install an app on my phone?

No. Your phone automatically opens a web page in the browser when you do the first scan. Your phone's built-in camera app is all you need.

Does qr2desk work without shared Wi-Fi?

Yes. qr2desk transfers content over the internet, not your local network. Phone and PC just need an internet connection — not necessarily the same Wi-Fi.

Is my text stored permanently somewhere?

No. Content is held briefly in memory during transfer and then automatically deleted. qr2desk doesn't store content in a permanent database.

Can I use it to transfer passwords securely?

Yes — and for that we recommend the optional Secure Mode with end-to-end encryption. Content is encrypted on your phone before it leaves the device. No server ever sees the plaintext.

What if I take too long to scan?

qr2desk automatically renews the session every 2 minutes in the background — without reloading the page. You always have enough time.

What does qr2desk cost?

Nothing. qr2desk is completely free — no subscription, no hidden costs, no limits.

How is qr2desk different from emailing myself or using WhatsApp?

qr2desk needs no account, no app and no prior setup. Emailing yourself takes many steps and leaves copies in your inbox. WhatsApp requires an active account. qr2desk is faster, more direct, and leaves no traces.

No more typing.

Open qr2desk.com on your PC, scan with your phone — and the text is there.
