Barcode Tools

Generate and scan QR codes & barcodes

Generate and scan QR codes and barcodes for retail, inventory, shipping, marketing, and personal use. Create QR codes from URLs, text, WiFi credentials, vCards, and more with customizable colors, shapes, and error correction, then scan existing codes using your camera, an uploaded image, or a clipboard paste. On the barcode side, generate print-ready CODE128, CODE39, EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A, UPC-E, ITF-14, MSI, Pharmacode, and Codabar symbologies for retail labeling or inventory systems. Small business owners labeling stock and marketers printing campaign codes both rely on this set — every generation and scan happens locally, so nothing you encode (including WiFi passwords and contact details) is ever uploaded.
