MAC Address Vendor Lookup
Find the manufacturer behind any MAC address from its OUI prefix, using the IEEE registry bundled right into the page. Offline, private, no sign-up.
What this tool does
Every network interface — Wi-Fi, Ethernet, Bluetooth — has a MAC address, and its first three octets (the OUI, Organizationally Unique Identifier) are assigned to a specific manufacturer by the IEEE. Paste a MAC address (or just its OUI) and this tool tells you which company made the device.
The full IEEE OUI registry is bundled into the page, so the lookup runs entirely in your browser — nothing is sent to a server, it works offline, and there is no sign-up.
Accepted formats
You can paste a MAC address in any of the common forms, in upper or lower case, and either the full address or just the first three octets:
| Form | Example |
|---|---|
| Colon | 28:6F:B9:01:23:45 |
| Hyphen | 28-6F-B9-01-23-45 |
| Dot (Cisco) | 286f.b901.2345 |
| Bare hex | 286fb9012345 |
| OUI only | 28:6F:B9 |
EUI-64 (8-octet) addresses are accepted too — only the first three octets are needed for the vendor.
Batch lookup: paste several addresses, one per line, to resolve them all at
once — you'll get one compact MAC — Vendor line per address (great for an ARP
table or a device inventory).
What you get back
- MAC — your address normalized to canonical colon-separated uppercase.
- OUI — the 24-bit prefix used for the lookup.
- Vendor — the registered organization name from the IEEE registry, or a note that the OUI is unassigned (common for randomized / locally-administered MACs).
- Type — decoded from the first octet's two special bits:
- globally unique (IEEE-assigned) vs locally administered (randomized or manually set — these are not in the registry by design);
- unicast vs multicast / group address.
FAQ
Why is my phone's Wi-Fi MAC not found?
Modern phones use MAC randomization for privacy. A randomized MAC has the locally-administered bit set and is not an IEEE assignment, so there is no vendor to look up — the tool will say so.
Is it free and private?
Yes. The registry is bundled into the page, so your input never leaves your device and it keeps working offline once loaded.
What's the difference between an OUI and a MAC address?
The OUI is the first 24 bits (3 octets) of a 48-bit MAC address and identifies the manufacturer; the remaining bits identify the individual device. Only the OUI matters for a vendor lookup.
