Online Barcode Decoder

How to extract data from a barcode

Barcodes can be confusing. Each barcode has an image type (called symbology) and a data structure (called the data standard). The data standard determines how information is encoded within the barcode and varies by industry, regulatory requirements, and use case. We created the online barcode decoder to help you identify the standard used in your barcode and uncover the information hidden within. Simply enter the raw barcode value or upload a barcode image and click “Decode.”
