Code found
Read a barcode from an image
Upload a photograph or screenshot that clearly shows the complete barcode. FreeQRMake attempts to identify the code format and displays the decoded value.
Scan barcodes with your camera
Use the live camera reader for product, inventory and other common barcodes. Keep the entire barcode in view and hold the device steady until the code is read.
1D and 2D barcode reading
The reader uses a multi-format decoding engine designed for common linear and matrix barcode formats. The detected format is displayed beside the result.
Barcode image privacy
Images are decoded in your browser rather than uploaded to FreeQRMake. Camera video is used for live scanning only while the camera reader is active.
