What is UPC?
UPC or Universal Product Codes are standardized barcodes used for product identification and tracking in retail.
A 12-digit barcode, UPC barcodes are mainly used in North America for identifying products. Regarding the barcode structure, the first six digits contain the manufacturer information, while the remaining five indicate the product details. A final digit is added that acts as a checksum to ensure accurate scanning.

Reliable Barcode Lookup to Get Accurate Product Information
Our free barcode lookup tool lets you input a product's EAN or UPC and obtain the product name, brand, and image.
Highly accurate, this barcode lookup tool uses data from a massive, regularly updated database. In rare instances, the barcode number may not exist in the database, or the retrieved data may be incorrect or outdated.
What is EAN?
The EAN system is the counterpart of UPCs used in North America. EAN stands for European Article Number. These barcodes are used in Europe, Latin America, and Asia. EAN barcodes make product identification easier, which further helps in modern retail and supply chain operations.
The EAN barcode has two variants: an 8-digit barcode suitable for smaller products, including the country code, manufacturer's ID, and check digit. The other variant is a 13-digit code that contains the country code or GS1 prefix in the first two or three digits, item number or manufacturer information in the following eight or nine digits, and the last digit as the checksum for error detection.
With this free EAN lookup tool, you can instantly get information, such as product name, image, and brand title!

FAQ
Why might a barcode return no results?
The product may not be registered in the database, or the barcode number may have been entered incorrectly. Other possibilities include private-label products without a public GS1 barcode, discontinued items removed from databases, or an invalid checksum digit.
Please verify the number or consult the manufacturer's product registry.
Can the tool read partially damaged or low-quality barcodes?
Yes. The tool uses the Dynamsoft Barcode Reader SDK, which can process low-resolution images, minor damage, ink smudges, poor lighting, and angled captures.
For severely damaged barcodes, we recommend manually entering the visible digits.
What barcode types and formats are supported?
Four retail barcode symbologies are supported:
- UPC-A: 12-digit code used across North America. Standard for US and Canadian retail products.
- UPC-E: Compressed 6-digit version of UPC-A, designed for small product packaging.
- EAN-13: 13-digit international standard used in Europe, Latin America, and Asia.
- EAN-8: Compact 8-digit variant of EAN-13 for small product surfaces.
What is the difference between barcode scanning and barcode lookup?
Scanning converts a barcode image into a numeric string. Lookup uses this number to query a product database and retrieve details such as name, brand, and image. Scanning reads the symbol, while lookup interprets its meaning.
These are separate processes that work together.
How do barcode scanning and lookup work together?
The process is straightforward: a camera captures the barcode, the Dynamsoft Barcode Reader decodes it into a number, that number is used to query the product database, and the tool returns the product name, brand, and image.
In Dynamsoft’s free tool, all steps occur within a single interface. Developers can implement this pipeline in custom apps using the Barcode Reader SDK with any product database or lookup API.
How do enterprise-grade barcode SDKs improve lookup workflows?
Consumer apps are suitable for occasional lookups, while enterprise operations require advanced capabilities. The Dynamsoft Barcode Reader SDK offers:
- Higher accuracy Reliable decoding under low light, glare, motion blur, and label wear.
- Batch processing Decode hundreds of barcodes per second for high-throughput workflows.
- Cross-platform capability: Web, mobile (iOS/Android), desktop, and server deployments.
- System integration Direct connection to ERP, inventory, or PIM platforms, eliminating manual data entry.
