What is a barcode?
A barcode is a machine-readable form of information in a visual format. It is often an image consisting of a series of numbers with parallel black and white lines that a scanner can read. When scanned, the barcode reveals information about a product.
Barcodes provide an efficient way for organizations to deal with purchase, inventory tracking, supply chain management, verification, and invoice processes.
There are two types of barcodes: 1-Dimensional (1D) barcodes such as EANs and 2-Dimensional (2D) barcodes such as Quick Response (QR) codes. The advantage of 2D barcodes lie in their ability to hold more data than 1D codes.
With Klippa’s OCR, you can digitize documents with barcodes and store files digitally. By automating barcode processing, you can increase efficiency while reducing human errors.
Did you know that apart from barcodes, Klippa’s OCR can scan other types of data fields, such as QR codes, EAN codes, or even serial numbers? Contact us for more information.

Is Klippa barcode capturing GDPR-compliant?
All the services that Klippa offers are fully GDPR-compliant. By default, we use ISO-certified servers within the European Union for processing. If you are not located within the EU, we can also set up servers in a region of choice.
Next to that, a data processor agreement is in place. We do not store any of your or your customers’ data after processing.
Can Klippa convert documents to CSV, XLSX, XML or JSON?
Yes we can. Klippa takes pictures of documents, or their PDF equivalents, and converts them to readable text using OCR. From there we use machine learning to turn the text into structured data. Most of the time we use JSON for this, but depending on your preferences we can also convert documents to CSV, XLSX or XML.
