The barcode images and their descriptions are taken from BarcodeFAQ reference. Make sure you visit their site for lots more wonderful information about barcodes and barcode symbologies.

But... Why?

I'm getting back into the retail point-of-sale space after being away a few years, and I needed a way to brush up on my ability to identify barcode symbologies on sight, so I cooked up this web app to help me learn them again.

If you look closely at the images, you'll notice that most of them highlight the lines at either end of the barcode in red. These are the lines that are most helpful in identifying the symbology.
