NFC Tag Reader

Scan NFC tags with the Web NFC API and inspect their raw records — serial number, record type, and decoded text/URL/MIME/binary data.

Web NFC is not supported in this browser. It currently only works in Chrome for Android, served over HTTPS (or localhost).

Tag Data

Web NFC requires Chrome for Android (v89+) served over HTTPS, with NFC enabled on the device. Hold the tag to the back of the phone while scanning or writing is active. Writing overwrites the tag's existing NDEF content.

Good to know

Only Chrome for Android supports Web NFC — there's no iOS Safari, desktop browser, or Firefox/Samsung Internet equivalent.
An app's embedded WebView does not support Web NFC either, only the standalone Chrome app — a wrapper app needs its own native NFC bridge to relay tag data into the page.
The tag itself must be NDEF-formatted. Tags that only expose IsoDep/NfcA (common for access cards and Mifare Classic) have no NDEF data — the phone will detect them, but reading will fail.
