One camera screen, in every mobile framework

A full-screen camera with AR mode: a box follows the MRZ and shows the read. Native SDKs for iOS and Android, and plugins with the same API for each cross-platform framework.

Scan on the desktop and the server

A C library for Windows and Linux with no dependencies, and the same library on PyPI. For kiosks, back offices and batch checks of scanned documents.

MRZ Scanner 2

One scanner core for phones, desktops, servers and the browser.

Accurate and fast

Point the camera at a passport, ID card or visa. A box follows the machine readable zone and shows the read on screen, in AR mode.

Every read is checked against the document's check digits, and in camera mode it is confirmed over agreeing frames before your app gets it.

It also reads still photos and files, for documents your users upload.

React Native, Capacitor, Cordovaone API
await MRZScanner.registerLicense('MRZ2...');

const result = await MRZScanner.scan({
  documentTypes: ['passport', 'id'],
  continuous: false,
  torch: false,
});

const fromPhoto = await MRZScanner.scanImage({ path });

Easy to use, in any framework

Native SDKs for iOS and Android own the camera screen. The plugins for React Native, Flutter, .NET MAUI, Capacitor and Cordova pass straight through to them, with the same three calls everywhere: registerLicense, scan and scanImage (in C#: RegisterLicenseAsync, ScanAsync and ScanImageAsync).

Settings for continuous scanning, document types, a region of interest, torch and zoom are the same on every platform.

On the desktop, the server and the web

A C library for Windows and Linux with no dependencies, the same library as a Python package, and the scanner compiled to WebAssembly for web pages (in early access).

Batch-check scanned documents on your server, scan webcam frames at a desk, or let customers scan in your web check-in.

Reliable and private

Recognition runs entirely on the device or your own server, offline. No image or document data is sent anywhere unless your app sends it.

The licence key is checked on the device too, so scanning needs no network connection.

Reads come back as named fields: names, document number, nationality, dates of birth and expiry, and more.
