Practical barcode knowledge

Built for mail people

Whether you work with commercial mail, printed envelopes, or simply want to understand an IMb, the useful result is the decoded data—not a mysterious row of bars.

Scan, inspect, copy, share

The same straightforward Barcode Inspector workflow applies: camera or photo, decoded results, Copy, Copy All, and iOS sharing.

Try it free

Three successful USPS IMb scans per day are free. A one-time $4.99 permanent unlock removes that daily limit.

Not a tracking service

Decoding an IMb reveals the information encoded in the barcode. It does not automatically retrieve the current delivery status of a mailpiece.

Decode IMb right from your iPhone.

Read, inspect, copy, and share USPS Intelligent Mail barcode data using Barcode Inspector.
