How to scan a barcode from an image
Upload a photo or screenshot containing a barcode and it's read directly in your browser using your device's built-in barcode detection. The decoded value appears instantly, ready to copy. Nothing is uploaded — the image is processed locally, so it stays private and works for free without any sign-up.
Tips for reliable barcode scanning
Use a sharp, well-lit image taken straight on, with the barcode in focus and filling a good part of the frame. Avoid glare, heavy shadows and steep angles. If a scan fails, crop closer to the barcode and try again. Chrome and Edge currently offer the best native barcode support.

Why does barcode scanning not work in my browser?
Native barcode detection is browser-dependent. Chrome and Edge usually work best; unsupported browsers show a clear message.
How do I get the best scan results?
Use a sharp, well-lit, straight-on image where the barcode is in focus and fills a good part of the frame.
Are uploaded barcode images stored?
No. The image is read in your browser for scanning and is never uploaded to a server.
