Frequently asked questions

Is my input uploaded?

No. This tool processes its input locally in your browser. Normal page requests do not include the contents you enter or select.

Why is a barcode not detected?

Low resolution, glare, cropping, unsupported symbology, or insufficient quiet space can prevent decoding. Try a sharper, well-lit image.

Will it work in every browser?

The tool uses modern browser APIs. Current Chromium, Firefox, and Safari releases provide the best support; the page displays a clear error when a required capability is unavailable.
