# BarcodeBench > A free browser tool that shows exactly what a scanned barcode contains, explaining GS1 fields, check digits and dates, with nothing uploaded and no account. Inspect scanned, pasted or typed barcode values, one at a time, from a keyboard barcode scanner, a device camera or the complete captures in a ScannerBench full report. Declare how each value should be read: plain text or supplier code, GS1 machine text, GS1 bracketed notation or a GS1 Digital Link address. BarcodeBench shows the exact text with edge spaces and control characters visible, lists each supported GS1 field with its exact value, and checks lengths, characters, check digits, dates, net weights and required field combinations with the official GS1 Barcode Syntax Engine, saying plainly what it could not check. Keep up to 16 values in a session, save it on this device or download a backup, download a redacted or full report as JSON or an A4 PDF, and prepare the tool for offline use. ## Pages - [BarcodeBench barcode content checker](https://barcodebench.smartfact.ai/app/): A free browser tool that shows exactly what a scanned barcode contains, explaining GS1 fields, check digits and dates, with nothing uploaded and no account. - [Free GS1 barcode content checker](https://barcodebench.smartfact.ai/): A free browser tool that shows exactly what a scanned barcode contains, explaining GS1 fields, check digits and dates, with nothing uploaded and no account. - [Decode a GS1 barcode scan in your browser](https://barcodebench.smartfact.ai/gs1-barcode-decoder/): Scan or paste the value from a GS1 label and see each field: GTIN, batch or lot, dates, serial, SSCC, count and net weight, with the exact characters kept. - [Check GS1 group separators in scanned text](https://barcodebench.smartfact.ai/gs1-group-separator/): See exactly where each GS1 field ends.
