Barcode Generator
Generate custom barcodes in Code 128, EAN-13, UPC-A, Code 39, and ITF-14 formats. Download print-ready high-res PNG or vector SVG.
Runs in your browser. Nothing you add is uploaded.
What the Barcode Generator does
Barcodes encode numbers and text into parallel lines with varying widths and spacings, readable by laser scanners and camera readers across retail, logistics, and warehousing. This generator creates crisp, high-precision barcodes directly in your browser with automatic check-digit calculation and vector SVG export.
How to generate custom barcodes
- Choose the required barcode symbology standard: Code 128 for shipping & logistics, EAN-13 for international retail, UPC-A for US/Canada retail, or Code 39 for industrial assets.
- Enter your barcode value. If using EAN-13 or UPC-A, you can enter the initial digits and click 'Apply Check Digit' to let the system compute the mandatory check digit automatically.
- Adjust bar height, width, quiet zone margins, and toggle human-readable text below the barcode.
- Download your barcode as a high-resolution PNG for digital use or vector SVG for crisp, commercial print packaging.
The Barcode Generator runs entirely in your browser — nothing you enter is uploaded, stored, or logged.
When to use it
Retail product packaging
Generate EAN-13 or UPC-A barcodes for retail items, books, food packaging, and consumer goods compliant with point-of-sale checkout scanners.
Warehouse inventory & logistics tracking
Produce Code 128 barcodes for SKU inventory labels, pallet routing tags, bin locations, and shipping manifest tracking.
Outer shipping carton marking
Generate 14-digit ITF-14 barcodes engineered specifically to scan reliably when printed on coarse brown corrugated cardboard cartons.
Good to know
- Always maintain a clean quiet zone (margin) on both ends of the barcode — without margins, optical scanners cannot detect where the code begins.
- Always export as vector SVG for print production. Bitmap PNGs scaled up in printing software can blur bar edges and cause scan failures.
- High contrast is essential: always print dark bars (black or dark navy) on a clean white or light reflective background.
- Test printed sample barcodes with a physical scanner or phone scanner app before beginning large print runs.
