barKoder is a barcode scanning SDK for developers who build on Android, iOS, WebAssembly, Windows, Linux, Python and C#, or with Flutter, React Native, .NET MAUI, Capacitor, Cordova and NativeScript. Each one is a barcode decoder SDK built on the same scanning engine. Pick your platform to see its requirements, installation and examples.
Build one app for Android and iOS and call the same scanner from your framework's language.
Standard decoders read clean labels. barKoder adds modes for the codes that fail in the field: worn, curved, engraved, blurred or many in one frame. Turn on the ones your workflow needs.
Worn, curved, engraved or blurred.
Many codes, live overlays, no stops.
Vehicles, IDs, DotCode and parsed data.
One barcode reader SDK covers retail, logistics, healthcare and identity codes. Enable only the decoders your app needs.
The fastest way to judge a barcode scanner SDK is to run it on the labels, devices and lighting your users have.
Scan with your phone in the barKoder web demo, which runs in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, or install the Barcode Scanner by barKoder app from the App Store or Google Play.

Test with known samples. Print or display the testing sheet and scan each 1D and 2D barcode with the demo app. The data sheet summarizes the SDK for your team.
A barcode scanner SDK is a library you embed in your own app. It opens the camera or takes an image, decodes the barcode on the device and returns the result to your code. With barKoder, your app calls the scanner's API directly and decoding runs locally on the device, without a remote decoding service.
The mobile barcode scanner SDK runs on Android and iOS. The web barcode scanner SDK runs in the browser with WebAssembly. Desktop and server SDKs cover Windows, Linux, Python and C#. For cross-platform apps there are integrations for Flutter, React Native, .NET MAUI, Capacitor, Cordova and NativeScript.
Yes. The SDK for Linux supports x86_64 and ARM64 through a C++ API and decodes from cameras, image files or pixel buffers. The Windows SDK offers C and C++ interfaces, the C# SDK targets .NET 6.0 or newer, and the Python SDK runs on Ubuntu 22.04 or newer. Server deployment is licensed on custom terms through a quote request.
Yes. The SDK checks the license key with the licensing server when the app initializes it. All scanning runs locally on the device, and each device must reach the licensing server at least once every 30 days.
The SDK has a free trial: a 30-day license for up to 25 devices with unlimited scans, generated from your barKoder account. Production use needs a paid license. To read a single barcode from an image without writing code, use the free online barcode scanner.
Yes. MatrixSight reads QR Code, Micro QR Code and Data Matrix with missing finder or timing patterns, and DPM Mode reads Data Matrix codes engraved on parts. Test your own samples, because the type and amount of damage decide what any decoder can recover.
Yes. MRZ scanning reads the machine readable zone on passports, ID cards and visas. For driver's licenses, the SDK reads the PDF417 barcode and the AAMVA parser and SA DL parser return the fields as structured data.
Licenses are annual subscriptions per app, covering mobile or web, with unlimited scans, all features, support and free upgrades. Enterprise plans differ by the number of devices. See SDK pricing for current plans, or request a quote for white-label, redistribution or larger deployments.
