Barcode Generator

Barcodes for products, stock and labels

A barcode is a machine-readable way to carry a short number or text. This generator produces the six formats shops and warehouses use most, checks your input and gives you print-ready files.

Choose the right format

• EAN-13 is the standard retail code outside North America. It has 13 digits including a check digit.
• UPC-A is the North American retail code with 12 digits.
• EAN-8 is a short code for small packages.
• Code 128 encodes any ASCII text compactly and is the common choice for internal IDs, order numbers and shipping labels.
• Code 39 encodes capital letters, digits and a few symbols, and is found in older systems and ID cards.
• ITF (Interleaved 2 of 5) encodes an even number of digits and is used on cartons.

Check digits

For EAN and UPC, enter the code without the last digit and the tool calculates it. If you enter the full code, it checks that the final digit is right and tells you what it should be if not. ITF values with an odd number of digits get a leading zero.

Single and batch

Type one value to see a live preview with SVG, PNG and copy options. In batch mode, paste a list with one value per line. Invalid lines are shown with a reason rather than stopping the batch, and you can download everything as a single SVG or PNG sheet.

Printing tips

1. Use dark bars on a white or very light background.
2. Leave blank margins at both ends; the margin slider controls this quiet zone.
3. Test with a real scanner or a phone before printing a large run.
4. Prefer SVG for print because it scales without blur; use PNG for documents and screens.
