Barcode Ready

Barcode Decoder

Upload a photo or screenshot of a barcode and get the number or text it contains. Decoding happens on your device, so images are never uploaded.

Scanned codes show up here. Nothing is uploaded; reading happens on your device.

How it works

  1. 1Upload an image of the barcode, or start the camera to scan one live.
  2. 2The decoder finds every barcode in the picture and shows its type and content.
  3. 3Copy the result, or open it if it is a link.

Barcode to text

A barcode is just a number or short text drawn as bars. Decoding turns it back into those characters, so you can paste a UPC into a spreadsheet, check a label against an order, or read a QR code someone sent as a screenshot.

Check what you decoded

For UPC and EAN numbers, paste the result into the barcode checker to confirm the check digit. To redraw a clean copy of the barcode, use the generator for its type.
