How to scan a barcode from an image
-
Choose, drop, or paste an image
Select a supported file, drag it into the scanner, or paste an image from the clipboard. Files larger than 10 MB are rejected before decoding.
-
Inspect and rotate
Use the preview zoom to inspect blur, cropping, glare, and the quiet zone. Rotate left or right to create a corrected local copy and scan it again.
-
Review the decoded results
Copy individual values or all results, check applicable number structure, and save entries to local scan history. A decoded value does not prove product identity or authenticity.
Supported barcode formats
The current decoder manifest contains 16 supported symbologies. Actual detection still depends on image quality, code size, damage, and browser memory.

Local image processing
The selected image is decoded by browser-side code. This scanner does not provide an image-upload endpoint, and the image is not included in scan-history records.
What rotation and zoom do
Preview zoom changes only what you see. Rotation creates a temporary PNG in browser memory and scans that corrected copy. Clearing the tool releases its temporary object URL.
Frequently asked questions
Why was my image rejected?
The file may exceed 10 MB, use an unsupported MIME type, be empty, be corrupt, or use an encoding the browser cannot open.
Can one image contain several barcodes?
Yes. The decoder requests up to 10 symbols from one image and removes duplicate format-and-value pairs before showing the result list.
Does preview zoom improve decoding?
No. Preview zoom is for visual inspection. Rotation changes the pixels sent to the decoder; zoom does not resample or alter the source image.
