Barcode reader

Not every barcode is next to a scanner. Sometimes you have a photo of a product label, a screenshot of a shipping slip, or a saved image of a code, and you need the number encoded inside it. The Barcode Reader decodes common linear (1D) barcodes straight from an image you provide.

It works with the familiar retail and logistics symbologies — EAN and UPC product codes, Code 128, and several others — and returns the encoded value so you can look the item up, verify a part number, or transcribe it elsewhere.

How to Use the Barcode Reader

1. Upload an image that contains a barcode.
2. Read the decoded value in the output area.
3. Copy or use the number that the code represents.

Practical Use Cases

Read a product barcode from a photo to check a price or inventory number, transcribe a barcode from a scanned document when you cannot rescan the original, and recover a shipping or tracking code captured in an image.

Privacy

Decoding runs locally against the image you choose. The picture, and the number it contains, is not sent to a server — which matters when the code sits on a delivery note or an internal label you would rather keep private.
