New free tool

Generate clean retail and ops barcodes, directly in your browser.

Create CODE128, CODE39, EAN-13, EAN-8, and UPC-A barcodes without touching a backend. Customize bar width, height, colors, and human-readable text, then export PNG or SVG instantly.

Barcode content and format
Choose a barcode standard, enter the value, and export clean PNG or SVG assets directly from the browser.

Flexible alphanumeric format for labels, internal tools, tickets, and general operations.

CODE128 is the most flexible option for mixed letters, numbers, and symbols.

Toggle the printed value under the bars for labels and retail layouts.

Dark bars on a light background are the safest choice for scanners and phone cameras.

Private by default

This generator runs entirely in your browser. The barcode value is not uploaded or stored on the server.

Which format fits which job?
Pick the barcode standard based on where it will be scanned.

CODE128

Best default for internal operations, labels, shipping references, and workflow IDs.

EAN / UPC

Use these for retail product identifiers, packaging, catalogs, and point-of-sale systems.

CODE39

A practical option for older inventory, warehousing, and industrial labeling setups that expect uppercase codes.

Scan reliability tips
Barcode scanners are pickier about spacing and sharpness than QR codes.
Keep enough white space around the barcode and avoid placing borders or icons too close to the bars.
For print, SVG is the safer export because it stays razor sharp and avoids blur from scaling.
If scanners struggle, increase bar width slightly before increasing overall height. Thin bars are the first thing that tends to fail.
Frequently asked questions

Can I use this barcode generator for product packaging?

Yes, but make sure you choose the right retail format. EAN-13, EAN-8, and UPC-A are the relevant formats for packaging and product identifiers. SVG export is strongly recommended for production layouts.

Why do some barcode formats accept only digits?

Retail formats like EAN and UPC are standardized numeric symbologies. Their structure is defined by scanning systems and check-digit rules, so they cannot accept arbitrary text the way CODE128 can.

Can I hide the human-readable text?

Yes. This first version lets you toggle the readable text under the bars on or off depending on the label, design, or scanner requirements.

Does this tool create dynamic or trackable barcodes?

No. This version generates static barcode images only. There is no backend, storage layer, or tracking service attached to the generated output.
