Barcode Scanner

Scan a retail or product barcode with your camera or an uploaded image — free, works entirely in your browser.

About this tool

Point your camera at a retail or product barcode — UPC, EAN, Code 128, Code 39, and other common formats — or upload a photo, and this decodes it entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to a server.

This reads the barcode's raw number and tells you which format it's in (for example, EAN-13 or UPC-A), but doesn't look up what product that number belongs to — for that, use Barcode Scanner & Lookup, which is specifically built for looking up books by their ISBN barcode.

If what you scan turns out to be a QR code rather than a traditional barcode, this tool tells you so directly and points you to the QR Code Scanner instead.

Frequently asked questions

Is the barcode or image sent to a server?

No — decoding happens entirely in your browser using your device’s own processing. Nothing is uploaded anywhere.

Does this tell me what product the barcode belongs to?

No — this decodes the raw number and format only. For book lookups specifically (title, author, cover), use Barcode Scanner & Lookup instead.

What barcode formats does this support?

Common retail and product formats including UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-13, EAN-8, Code 128, Code 39, Code 93, ITF, and Codabar.

It says this is a QR code, not a barcode — why?

This scanner recognizes both kinds of codes automatically and tells you which one it found, since a QR code needs the QR Code Scanner’s different decoding approach for its content.
