Quirc is a small, dependency-free C library for extracting and decoding QR codes from images, fast enough for realtime video. It handles rotated, oblique, and multiple codes per frame and is easily embeddable with a tiny memory footprint.

Use cases

  • decode qr codes from images in c
  • realtime qr code scanning from camera video
  • embed qr decoder in embedded device
  • detect multiple qr codes in one image
  • build a barcode scanner app
  • decode rotated or skewed qr codes

When to choose

  • you need a lightweight, portable QR decoder with no dependencies
  • you need realtime decoding from video frames
  • you need multithread-safe decoding of multiple codes per image
  • you target embedded or resource-constrained platforms

When to avoid

  • you need to decode barcode formats other than QR codes
  • you want a high-level library with camera and UI integration built in
  • you need pure Python/Java tooling rather than a C library
