Uses your browser's native BarcodeDetector when available (QR, EAN, Code 128, and more), with a jsQR fallback for QR codes only.

How the Scanner Works

This scanner uses your device's camera directly in the browser — no app download required. When available, it uses your browser's native BarcodeDetector API, which can read many formats including QR codes, EAN, and Code 128. If that's not supported, it automatically falls back to jsQR for QR code scanning.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why isn't my camera starting?

Camera access requires HTTPS (or localhost) and your explicit permission. Check that you've allowed camera access for this site in your browser settings.

Does this work on mobile?

Yes, the scanner works on both desktop and mobile browsers that support camera access.

Is any video sent to a server?

No. All scanning happens locally in your browser. Your camera feed is never uploaded or recorded.
