barcodrod.io is an ad-free, open-source, modern barcode and QR code toolkit for Windows 10 and 11. 100% free to use.
QR and barcode reading:
- Read 17 different types of barcodes including QR, UPC, MSI, Data Matrix, and more.
- Read QR codes and barcodes from:
• The Windows Snipping Tool app.
• An image file on your PC.
• A folder on your PC to decode images in bulk and export the results to a file.
• Images copied and pasted from your clipboard.
• Video sources such as webcams, OBS virtual cameras, or the Windows Camera app.
- Launch decoded results directly into an app on your computer.
QR and barcode creation:
- Create up to 13 different types of barcodes.
- Built-in helper templates to generate Wi-fi, Email, and vCard (contact card) QR codes.
- Custom colors, margins, and error correction settings.
History:
- View and manage a history of QR codes and barcodes read and created on your PC.
- Can be disabled if preferred.
Security first:
- barcodrod.io works fully offline. Codes are read and created locally on your PC, not on an unknown, 3rd party server.
- barcodrod.io does not collect any decoded or generated QR or barcode data, reducing the risk of your data being stored or misused by third parties.
- barcodrod.io allows you to inspect QR code contents and URLs before opening them, helping verify the legitimacy of the links and data encoded in the QR codes.
- barcodrod.io does not inject any URL redirect services in the generated QR codes, ensuring that what you enter into the code is exactly what gets created. This prevents 3rd parties from altering the destination of the QR code to a malicious site after it has been generated, tracking users, or capturing unapproved telemetry/usage metrics from your created codes.
Simple, modern interface:
- barcodrod.io is built natively for Windows, using WinUI3 and the Windows App SDK; offering a simple, familiar, and fast user interface.
- Supports light and dark themes, as well as 3 different backdrop options.
