Barcode reader and QR code scanner

Scan a barcode or QR code with your camera, or open a photo of one, and see exactly what it holds. It all happens on your device.

What it reads

QR codes, Data Matrix, Aztec, and PDF417, and the common barcodes: EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A, UPC-E, Code 128, Code 39, Code 93, Codabar, ITF, and GS1 DataBar. It shows the type of each code and the text inside it, and it can read several codes in one picture.

Check your labels before you print a batch

Make your labels, print one sheet on plain paper, and scan a few of them here with your phone. If a code reads back exactly as you typed it, the batch is ready. You can also open a PNG you downloaded from the generator.

Tips for a quick scan

  • Hold the code flat and steady, with all of it inside the frame.
  • Use good light, and avoid glare on shiny labels.
  • Move closer for a small code, or further away if it looks blurred.
  • For a photo, crop it close to the code if there is a lot around it.

Your camera and pictures stay on your device

The camera image and any picture you open are read by your browser. Nothing is uploaded, and the site cannot see what you scan. The camera turns off as soon as a code is found, or when you press Stop the camera.

Questions

Is it free?

Yes. There is no account and no limit on how many codes you scan.

Why does the camera not start?

The browser asks before it shares the camera. If you said no, allow the camera for this site in your browser settings. You can always open a picture instead.

Is it safe to open a link from a QR code?

A QR code can point to any address, so the reader shows the link first and opens it only when you press Open link. Check that the address is the one you expect.

Does it tell me what product a barcode is?

No. A barcode holds only a number. Shops look the number up in their own product list. The reader shows the number and its type.
