A QR & barcode scanner is a tool that reads standardized code patterns and instantly decodes the information inside. When scanned, the tool shows the embedded text, number, or URL — ready to use immediately.
Our scanner supports multiple formats. A QR code can store links, text or contact info. A barcode (like UPC, EAN‑13 or Code 128) usually stores product IDs or numbers. Both can be scanned with your camera or uploaded image.
All formats are universally supported on iPhone, Android and desktop browsers. No third‑party app is needed — everything runs directly in your browser.
Our generator supports all major code types including QR Code, Code 128, EAN‑13, UPC, Code 39 and more — making it suitable for businesses and individuals worldwide.

Use Camera Scan when scanning live QR codes or barcodes on posters, packaging or signage. Use Image Upload when decoding codes from screenshots, documents or saved images.
Always scan in bright light. Poor lighting makes codes harder to detect.
Hold your phone steady when scanning. Blurry scans may fail to decode.
Keep the camera 10–15 cm away from the code. Too close or too far reduces accuracy.
Our scanner supports many formats. Test with QR, UPC, EAN and Code 128 for best results.
All results are saved locally in your browser. Use history for quick reference later.
