Beyond QR - barcodes too
Barcode Scanner Online: Decode 12 Formats in One Place
Code 128 on parcels, EAN on products, PDF417 on licenses, Data Matrix on parts - upload an image and decode locally.
The QRDIV barcode scanner decodes seven 1D formats (Code 128, EAN-13/8, UPC-A/E, Code 39, ITF, Codabar) and four 2D formats (QR, Data Matrix, PDF417, Aztec) from uploaded or pasted images. Narrow the format for speed and accuracy. Decoding runs entirely in your browser and images are never uploaded.

02
Read failing? It is usually one of these four
Barcode reading is fussier about image quality than QR codes - 1D codes carry data in fine bar-width ratios.
Pick the right formatSpecifying the format speeds up reads and avoids misreads; if you only know the family, choose the 1D or 2D group.
Glare and contrastLaminated labels and phone screens throw glare bands that wipe out a stretch of bars - change the angle or boost contrast.
Crop in closeA barcode that is tiny within a full-page photo gets missed; crop until it fills at least half the frame.
Fully localDecoding happens in your browser - shipping labels and receipts with personal data never leave your device.
