Barcode SDK Libraries
LEADTOOLS Barcode SDK is the world's premier toolkit for developers that require an API to detect, read, and generate 1D and 2D barcodes. Featuring a fast, highly accurate, and reliable barcode engine for .NET 6+, .NET Framework, .NET MAUI, Xamarin, UWP, C++ Class Library, C#, VB, C/C++, Java, Objective-C, and Swift developers, the award-winning LEADTOOLS libraries help programmers create amazing applications with full-featured barcode technology.
Quickly Find and Decode Barcodes
LEADTOOLS is the most comprehensive barcode toolkit on the market, supporting both reading and writing of over 100 barcode types, including all major 1D and 2D barcodes, in both bitonal and color images. An image or region of interest can be bitonal or color, low resolution, and have multiple types of barcodes that can even be damaged in different orientations. The confidence of the decoded data is always 100%, making LEADTOOLS a reliable component of any workflow involving barcodes.
Comprehensive reporting of the recognized barcodes includes
- Data
- Type
- Subtype
- Location
- Orientation
- Group
Generate Over 100 Barcodes
Easily implement barcode writing into your application. LEADTOOLS barcode libraries can generate more than 100 barcode types, including PDF417, QR, UPC, and DataMatrix.
Fastest Barcode Recognition
Reduce the bottleneck issues in high-speed scanning applications by utilizing the fastest barcode recognition speed. In addition, the libraries maximize the benefits of today's high-speed processors by automatically taking advantage of multiple threads and cores.
Easily Add New Barcode Types
LEADTOOLS is designed so our developers can add new barcode types and barcode "flavors" rapidly. If you find a barcode type that LEADTOOLS does not support, we can add the barcode type to our engine quickly.
Beyond Standard Barcodes
Out of the box, LEAD's Barcode SDK supports more than 100 barcode types and subtypes. However, the SDK expands beyond the standard barcode libraries. Utilizing artificial intelligence, the recognition engine goes outside the box of the standard to read barcodes even with distortions or that have been generated slightly differently.
Preprocessing and Cleanup to Achieve Highest Accuracy
When used in conjunction with LEADTOOLS Document SDKs, the libraries can clean noisy or damaged images to improve recognition accuracy with powerful document image processing and enhancement technology. Achieve very high accuracy even on poor quality images with damaged barcodes. The better the accuracy, the less human interaction that is required, resulting in substantial savings of time and money.
Industry-Leading Recognition
LEADTOOLS offers a diverse offering of recognition and imaging technologies alongside its Barcode SDK. These SDKs include many additional features such as:
- Powerful OCR
- Intelligent forms recognition and data extraction
- Driver's license and identification reader
- Extensive image file format support for reading and writing several raster, vector, and document file types
- Numerous image processing routines
- Document image cleanup
- Annotation
- Compression
- Scanning
- Medical imaging components
- Multimedia components
Versatile Barcode Libraries
LEADTOOLS libraries are versatile enough to run on mobile devices, desktops, servers, and in the cloud, making them the perfect choice for solutions that range from reading barcodes on mobile devices to unattended, large-volume single and multipage document processing running multithreaded services on a server farm. The APIs include special preprocessing functions to fix problems introduced by the source such as glare removal, keystoning, deskew, hole punch removal, noise removal, and dithering.
Easy to Integrate
LEADTOOLS handles the heavy lifting, eliminating months of R&D, while giving you the best quality and performance available. You'll be free to focus on other components of your application. Download the LEADTOOLS evaluation to streamline your development.
