Results

Point your camera at a barcode, or choose an image.

Scanning happens on your device with your browser's built-in detector. Video never leaves your phone or computer.

Your files are processed entirely in your browser using built-in web technologies. They are not uploaded to our servers, and closing the page clears them from memory.

How to use the Barcode Scanner

  1. Start the camera or choose a photo of the barcode.
  2. Hold the barcode flat and well lit inside the frame.
  3. Copy the number or text that's decoded.

What does this tool do?

Supports retail barcodes (EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A, UPC-E), logistics codes (Code 128, Code 39, Code 93, ITF, Codabar) and 2D codes such as Data Matrix, PDF417 and Aztec, depending on what your browser supports.

Decoding uses the BarcodeDetector built into Chrome, Edge and Android browsers. Video stays on your device.
