Create barcodes in multiple formats. Download as PNG or SVG.
Select your barcode format, enter your data, and click Generate. You can download the barcode as PNG or SVG image.
A barcode is a machine-readable representation of data using parallel lines of varying widths. Different formats support different character sets and use cases. For example, EAN-13 is standard for retail products, while CODE128 can encode any ASCII character.
How It Works - Enter your text or data in the input field. Our barcode generator creates multiple barcode formats including CODE128, EAN-13, UPC-A, and QR Code. Choose your preferred format and click Generate. The barcode updates instantly as you type.
Start by entering the text or numbers you want to encode in the "Data / Text" field. Select the barcode format from the dropdown — CODE128 is the most versatile and supports all ASCII characters, while EAN-13 and UPC are the standards for retail products. Adjust the width and height to control the barcode appearance, and toggle the "Show text" checkbox if you want the encoded data displayed below the barcode. Click "Generate Barcode" to render the barcode instantly in the preview area. Once satisfied, download the barcode as a PNG image for web use or as an SVG vector for high-resolution printing. The barcode updates in real time as you type or change settings.
Product inventory and retail: Generate EAN-13 or UPC barcodes for products to be printed on packaging and scanned at point-of-sale systems. Each unique product SKU needs its own unique barcode identifier.
Asset tracking and management: Use CODE128 or CODE39 barcodes to label office equipment, library books, or warehouse inventory items. Staff can scan items with a handheld scanner or smartphone app for quick check-in and check-out.
Shipping and logistics: Generate ITF-14 barcodes for shipping cartons and pallets. These barcodes encode outer packaging identifiers that logistics companies use to track shipments through automated sorting systems.
Membership and identification cards: Create CODE128 barcodes for membership cards, student IDs, or event badges. The barcode encodes a unique identifier that links to a database record when scanned at entry points.
Always test your barcodes with multiple scanners before printing in bulk — different scanner models have different sensitivities. Maintain sufficient white space or quiet zone around the barcode, at least ten times the width of the narrowest bar on each side. For retail barcodes, always use EAN-13 or UPC format as these are the industry standard. Avoid distorting the barcode proportions — maintain the original aspect ratio when resizing for different use cases. SVG format is best for printing because it scales to any size without losing quality or becoming pixelated.
We support major formats including CODE128 (most common), EAN-13 (retail), UPC-A (US retail), and QR Code (mobile-friendly).
The barcode images generated here are for general use. For commercial product barcodes, you may need official UPC/EAN registration.
Yes, all generated barcodes use standard specifications and are scannable with any standard barcode reader or smartphone app.
CODE128 is a high-density barcode that encodes all 128 ASCII characters including both uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters. CODE39 is an older standard encoding only uppercase letters, numbers, and a few special characters, but it remains widely used in non-retail applications like asset tracking and government identification systems.
For selling on Amazon or in retail stores, you need a valid GS1-issued UPC or EAN barcode registered to your company. The barcode images generated here are suitable for testing, prototyping, and internal use, but commercial sale requires purchasing official GS1 barcodes to ensure global uniqueness and retailer compliance.
