Calorio / Free barcode scanner
Free barcode scanner for food calories
Scan a packaged food barcode to look up calories and macros. Barcode scans are unlimited free of AI credits, subject to the daily anti-abuse limits below. You can also type the code or enter label values manually for free.

Check the package, then the portion
Scan or type the code
Open the barcode option below. Allow camera access, upload a barcode photo or type its digits. A barcode identifies a database record; it does not measure the food.
Match the product
Check the name and nutrition against your package. Recipes, pack sizes and database entries can differ. Missing nutrition data is not a zero.
Set what you eat
Adjust grams or millilitres to your portion and check the recalculated calories. If no record is found, use manual entry from the label for free. Reading a label with AI uses 1 AI scan.
Free barcode scanner
First photo scan free, no account needed. Barcodes always free. · See an example result
AI: 3 scans in total per signed-in account; without an account, 1 scan per day per IP (UTC). Barcodes and manual entry use no AI credits. Anti-abuse limits apply: 100 combined requests per day with an account, 20 per IP without one.
Example: part of a package
A label showing 240 kcal per 100 g gives 120 kcal for a 50 g portion. If the whole package is 200 g, eating it all gives 480 kcal. The barcode result lets you edit the amount instead of assuming you ate the whole package.

- Are barcode scans included in the 3 free AI scans?
- No. Barcodes retrieve stored nutrition values without AI. The 3 free AI scans per account apply to meal, label and product photos. Barcode lookup and manual entry share daily anti-abuse limits of 100 requests with an account or 20 per IP without one.
- What if the barcode is missing or wrong?
- Check the digits and compare the result with the package. You can enter the label values by hand without AI credits. Photographing the nutrition table instead uses 1 AI scan; you receive 3 free AI scans in total with an account.
