About this tool
A photo of a barcode is common — a warehouse label, a product package, a shipping receipt — but not every barcode is a QR code, and this one reads them all: Code 128, Code 39, EAN, UPC, ITF, Codabar, Data Matrix, PDF417, Aztec and QR, in a single pass.
How to use it
- Upload an image, or paste a public image URL.
- The decoded data appears along with the detected barcode format.
Examples
Common problems
- A clearly visible barcode isn't detected.
- Barcode decoding is sensitive to angle, blur and glare more than QR codes are — a straighter, sharper, evenly-lit photo (or a screenshot rather than a photo of a screen) succeeds far more often.
