# Barcode Scanning
|
||
|
||
Kiwi's barcode scanner uses your device camera to look up products instantly. It works for UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-13, EAN-8, and QR codes on packaged foods.
|
||
|
||
## How to scan
|
||
|
||
1. Open the **Inventory** tab
|
||
2. Click the **Scan barcode** button (camera icon)
|
||
3. Hold the barcode in the camera frame
|
||
4. Kiwi decodes it and looks up the product
|
||
|
||
## What happens after a scan
|
||
|
||
**Product found in database:**
|
||
Kiwi fills in the product name, category, and any nutritional metadata from the open barcode database. You confirm the quantity and expiry date, then save.
|
||
|
||
**Product not found:**
|
||
You'll see a manual entry form with the raw barcode pre-filled. Add a name and the product is saved to your personal pantry (not contributed to the shared database).
|
||
|
||
## Supported formats
|
||
|
||
| Format | Common use |
|
||
|--------|-----------|
|
||
| UPC-A (12 digit) | US grocery products |
|
||
| EAN-13 (13 digit) | International grocery products |
|
||
| UPC-E (compressed) | Small packaging |
|
||
| EAN-8 | Small packaging |
|
||
| QR Code | Some specialty products |
|
||
|
||
## Tips for reliable scanning
|
||
|
||
- **Good lighting**: scanning works best in well-lit conditions
|
||
- **Steady hand**: hold the camera still for 1–2 seconds
|
||
- **Fill the frame**: bring the barcode close enough to fill most of the camera view
|
||
- **Flat surface**: wrinkled or curved barcodes are harder to decode
|
||
|
||
## Manual barcode entry
|
||
|
||
If camera scanning isn't available (browser permissions denied, no camera, etc.), you can type the barcode number directly into the **Barcode** field on the manual add form.
