Internet UPC Database

Welcome to the Internet UPC Database! This free service is run as a hobby of mine. The information indexed here seems to be of use to many people for a variety of reasons.

This site isn't limited to UPCs any more. First of all, the term 'UPC' has been deprecated; the new term is UCC-12. But the world has moved beyond that. As of January 2005, retailers in the U.S. are supposed to be able to support the EAN/UCC-13 code (the rest of the world has done this for years), which uses similar symbology, and one additional digit.

This site continues to be useful because people continue to contribute data. Please help keep that up. Every entry counts. If you're in a position to contribute more data than can be easily entered by hand, and you have permission to share it, please contact me by email so we can work something out. I can load an Excel spreadsheet or CSV file pretty easily.

If you have any feedback or suggestions, just send email. I can be reached by email at webmaster@upcdatabase.com. Please read the FAQ before asking any questions, just to see if maybe somebody else has asked already.

11 Nov 2008 -- Major Disaster

No data loss, but the site was down for 24 hours. The whole machine was down, actually. The mailing lists still aren't back up, but I'm receiving webmaster@upcdatabase.com email. I apologize for the inconvenience. I'm probably going to put up a wiki and/or a web-based bulletin board of some kind to replace the mailing lists. They were just too much of a pain to manage, and too many people didn't know how to use them.

27 May 2008 -- Site Featured by Kim Komando

We're Kim's "Site of the Day" today, and while the site's holding up well under the load, there have still been a few problems. Please bear with me. A little patience and a few retries will probably be all you need.

This is a good thing for the site, though. Lots of new items are being added just today, and hopefully some of the new users will stick around and keep the growth rate up.

18 Mar 2008 -- When Will We Hit One Million?

Seems that we're approaching 1,000,000 entries pretty quickly! Does anyone want to guess when we'll cross that major milestone? We're at 940,000 right now...
