What it does
The scanner reads the QR codes and barcodes in a picture and lists each one with its type and what it says, so you can copy a link, a Wi-Fi password or a product number without a phone app. It reads:
- 2D codes: QR codes, Data Matrix, Aztec and PDF417.
- Shop barcodes: EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A and UPC-E, the numbers on products.
- Label and stock barcodes: Code 128, Code 39, Code 93, ITF and ITF-14, Codabar and DataBar.
Try a sample to see a report: a picture with a QR code of
https://example.com/above an EAN-13 barcode of5901234123457.
How to use it
- Drop a photo or screenshot here, paste it, or choose files. JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, GIF and BMP all work.
- Each picture gets a report, with one row per code in reading order: top to bottom, then left to right.
- Select Copy next to a row to copy what that code says, or Copy report to copy every report as text.
Good to know
- Two codes of the same type in one picture are numbered, as QR code 1 and QR code 2.
- A link is shown as text and never opened, so you can check where it goes before you visit it.
- A code that holds raw data instead of text is shown as its bytes in hex, such as
00 1F, and its row says (bytes). - A UPC-A barcode is the same symbol as an EAN-13 starting with 0, so it is reported as UPC-A with its 12 digits.
- Sharper is better: a blurred, glary or tiny code may not be found. Fill more of the picture with the code and try again.
Limits
- Up to 20 files at a time, each up to 25 MB and 50 megapixels.
- A large picture is read at 4,096 pixels on its long side, which is plenty for any code that fills a fair part of it.
