C# Barcode Reader and Scanner Library

Read and scan 1D and 2D barcodes in your application using C#. Developed using fuzzy logic and AI, our barcode-reading engine accurately detects multiple barcodes in more than 100 different file types. It extracts and returns barcode type, value, confidence, angle, version, checksum, and more. Utilizing an error correcting code algorithm and preprocessing features (auto deskew, noise removal, and more), it improves scan accuracy for damaged barcodes.

PSPDFKit SDKs are deployed in some of the world’s most popular applications, such as those made by Autodesk, Disney, UBS, Dropbox, IBM, and Lufthansa.
