Barcode Scanner — Read Barcodes From Camera or Image

Read EAN, UPC, Code 128, Code 39 and other barcodes from your camera or an image. Free, no sign-up, and your files never leave your device.

Free, with no sign-up and no watermark. The file is processed in your browser and never uploaded.

Read EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A/E, Code 128, Code 39, Code 93, ITF, Codabar, Data Matrix, PDF417 and QR codes with your camera or from an image. The browser's built-in detector is used where available (e.g. Chrome on Android and macOS); otherwise the open-source ZXing decoder runs on your device.

Step by step

  1. Start the camera: Click Start camera and point it at the barcode, horizontally across the bars.
  2. Or scan an image: Click Scan an image or drop a photo.
  3. Copy the result: The code, its format and recent scans are shown.
