About
STRICH is a JavaScript SDK for real-time 1D and 2D barcode scanning in web apps, using the camera of smartphones and tablets. All decoding runs on-device in the browser: no backend or native app required. Barcode data never leaves the device.
Supports Code 128, EAN, UPC, Code 39, ITF, DataBar, QR Code, Data Matrix, Aztec, PDF417 (incl. US driver’s licenses) and more. Reads damaged, faded, inverted and poorly lit codes where open-source libraries struggle.
Add scanning with one line of code using the PopupScanner, or embed the BarcodeReader for full control. Zero dependencies, TypeScript definitions, sample code for Vanilla JS, React, Angular, Vue and Svelte. Works in all major browsers on Android and iOS.
