Barcode reader
Test a barcode image before you print again.
Upload a photo, screenshot or image file. Barqode decodes the bars or 2D pattern, then you can compare that result with the digits printed under the code. The quality score is mainly for exported artwork and print files.
Upload image
Decode the bars from a photo or file.
The reader decodes the bars or 2D pattern, not the printed numbers below it. Type the visible human-readable value if you want to compare both.
Add the printed value to compare.
This is a practical check, not a production guarantee. Always test important labels with the scanner or app that will be used in real life.

Artwork quality
No score yet
The score is mainly for screenshots or exported print artwork. Phone photos of real products can score lower because of angle, glare, shadows and camera focus.
Important disclaimer
This reader is a practical browser-based test, not a certification tool. A successful read does not guarantee that a printed label, package or production barcode will scan in every system.
About the quality score
A photo of a working product barcode can score low because the camera adds angle, glare and focus issues. Use the score mainly for screenshots or exported artwork you plan to print.
Can Barqode read a barcode from an image?
Yes, when the browser supports built-in barcode detection. Upload a clear image and Barqode will try to decode the barcode locally in your browser.
Does this replace a real barcode scanner?
No. It is a practical test tool, not a production guarantee. Always test important labels with the scanner or app that will be used in real life.
Can it compare the bars with the printed digits?
Yes. Barqode decodes the value from the bars or 2D pattern, not from the printed numbers. Type the printed digits you can see under the barcode and the tool will show whether they match.
What is the barcode quality score for?
The score is mainly for screenshots or exported print artwork. Phone photos of real products can score lower because of angle, glare, shadows and camera focus.
