Barcode Generator

Generate a downloadable barcode image (CODE 128, CODE 39, EAN-13, EAN-8, or UPC-A) from text or a numeric product code.

EAN-13, EAN-8, and UPC-A are product-barcode formats with strict digit-count and checksum rules — if generation fails, double-check the digit count matches the format (13/8/12 digits). CODE 128 accepts any text and is the safest default.

Frequently Asked Questions

CODE 128 for general-purpose text or alphanumeric codes — it accepts almost anything. EAN-13/EAN-8/UPC-A are for retail product barcodes and require an exact digit count.

EAN-13, EAN-8, and UPC-A require an exact number of digits (13, 8, and 12 respectively) and CODE 39 only supports uppercase letters, numbers, and a few symbols. Switch to CODE 128 if you're unsure.

No. The generated barcode image is available to download for a short time and then deleted — nothing is saved to a database.
