IronBarcode - The C# Barcode & QR Library
Quickstart guide: https://ironsoftware.com/csharp/barcode/
IronBarcode allows developers to read & write Barcodes and QR Codes within .NET Applications & websites. Reading or writing barcodes with IronBarcode only requires a single line of code.
The .NET Barcode Library reads and writes most Barcode and QR standards. These include Code 39/93/128, UPC-A/E, EAN-8/13, ITF, Databar / Databar Expanded, Codabar, Aztec, Data Matrix, MaxiCode, PDF417, Plessey / MSI Plessey, Intelligent Mail, and QR / Micro QR / rMQR. The possible barcode result data types include text, binary data, page, and image file.
The barcode reading engine includes automatic image correction and barcode detection technology to take the pain out of locating and reading from imperfect scans. Multithreading, cropping, and batch scanning provides fast and accurate scanning of multi-page documents.
The barcode writing API checks and verifies format, length, number, checksum to automatically avoid encoding errors. The barcode writer allows for styling, resizing, margins, borders, recoloring, and adding text annotations. Can write to image, PDF or HTML file.
Key library features include:
* Read single or multiple barcodes and QR Codes from images or PDFs.
* Image correction for skewing, orientation, noise, low resolution, contrast etc.
* Create barcodes and apply to images or PDF documents.
* Embed barcodes into HTML documents.
* Style barcodes and add annotation text.
* QR Code writing allows adding of logos, colors, and advanced QR alignment.
IronBarcode can be used within C#, VB.NET, ASP .NET projects, MVC, Web Services, Console & Desktop Applications.
Supports:
* .NET Framework 4.6.2 +
* .NET Core 2.0 +
* .NET 5
* .NET 6
* .NET 7
* .NET 8
* .NET 9
* .NET 10

Installing the IronBarcode NuGet package is quick and easy, please install the package like this:
PM> Install-Package BarCode
Once installed, you can get started by adding using IronBarCode to the top of your C# code. Here is is sample Barcode Generating, Reading, and Saving example to get started:
using IronBarCode;
// Creating a barcode is as simple as:
var myBarcode = BarcodeWriter.CreateBarcode("12345", BarcodeWriterEncoding.EAN8);
// Reading a barcode is easy with IronBarcode:
var resultFromFile = BarcodeReader.Read(@"file/barcode.png"); // From a file
var resultFromPdf = BarcodeReader.ReadPdf(@"file/mydocument.pdf"); // From PDF use ReadPdf
// After creating a barcode, we may choose to resize and save which is easily done with:
myBarcode.ResizeTo(400, 100);
myBarcode.SaveAsImage("myBarcodeResized.jpeg");
