Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about barcode search, EAN lookup, UPC codes, and more

A barcode is a machine-readable representation of data. Common types include UPC (Universal Product Code), EAN (European Article Number), and GTIN (Global Trade Item Number). These are used worldwide to identify products in retail, logistics, and supply chain management. Barcodes encode numeric or alphanumeric data into a visual pattern of bars and spaces that can be scanned by barcode readers.

UPC-A has 12 digits and is primarily used in North America. EAN-13 has 13 digits and is the international standard. EAN-13 is a superset of UPC-A, meaning any UPC-A code can be converted to EAN-13 by adding a leading zero. Both encode product identification numbers used in retail and supply chain management.
