Free Barcode Decoder

Extract barcode data

Barcodes are unnecessarily complex. You have the type of barcode image (known as symbology), and the structure of the data used within the barcode (known as the data standard). The data standard dictates how information is encoded in the barcode and varies depending on industry, regulatory standards, and use case. We created the barcode decoder tool to help you identify the standard used and reveal the information hidden within a barcode - simply enter the barcode value and click decode.
