About Read a Barcode from an Image
Reading a barcode from a photo, a screenshot, or a product image usually means having a physical barcode scanner or a phone's camera app — not much help when the barcode is already a digital image sitting on your screen or in a file you were sent.
This tool decodes common 1D barcode formats — UPC, EAN, Code 128, Code 39, ITF, and others — directly from an uploaded image, showing both the decoded text content and the detected barcode format, without needing a camera or physical scanner.
This is a genuinely different tool from a camera-based barcode scanner — it works from any static image you already have, which is more convenient when the barcode is in a screenshot, a downloaded product photo, or an email attachment rather than something in front of a live camera.
How it works
- Upload a barcode image. Choose any image containing a barcode.
- View the decoded content. The exact encoded text and detected format are shown.
- Copy the result. Copy the decoded value for use elsewhere.
