How it works
- Allow camera access when prompted.
- Point your camera at a barcode.
- See the decoded value and format the instant it's recognized.
Scanning reads live video frames from your camera and decodes any recognized barcode pattern in real time using the browser's barcode detection capabilities — no app install, no photo upload required.
FAQ
Is my camera feed uploaded anywhere?
No. Scanning happens entirely in your browser — video frames are analyzed locally and never sent to a server.
What barcode formats are supported?
Common 1D formats like UPC-A, EAN-13, and Code 128, plus QR codes.
Does it need an app install?
No — it uses your device's camera directly through the browser, no app download required.
Can I scan from an uploaded photo instead of a live camera?
Yes — upload an image containing a barcode and it's scanned the same way as a live camera frame.
