Popular formats
Generate CODE128, EAN-13 and UPC codes for retail, inventory and shipping use.
PNG and SVG export
Pick PNG for quick use or SVG for sharp, scalable output on printed labels.
Private generation
Codes are created in your browser, so product numbers and data stay on your device.
CODE128 labels for inventory
When you track stock, equipment or shelf locations with your own SKUs, pick CODE128. It encodes letters, numbers and symbols, so an identifier like WH-A12-0345 fits in one scannable code. Type your value, set a comfortable size, and download a sheet-ready barcode you can stick on bins, assets and storage rows without paying for label software.
UPC and EAN-13 for retail products
Selling physical goods on store shelves or marketplaces like Amazon means a standardized retail code. Choose EAN-13 or UPC, enter your assigned product number, and the generator calculates the check digit so the code validates correctly. Download it for your packaging artwork, hang tags or barcode stickers, knowing the fixed-length format matches what checkout scanners and listing platforms expect.
Crisp SVG barcodes for printing
Barcodes that scan reliably need sharp edges at print resolution, and a stretched PNG often blurs the narrow bars. Export your code as SVG instead: it scales to any size on a label sheet, packaging template or sticker without pixelation. Drop the vector straight into Illustrator, Canva or your print shop's file, and the bars stay distinct so scanners read them on the first pass.
Barcode Generator — frequently asked questions
Which barcode format should I use?
Use EAN-13 or UPC for retail products that need standardized codes, and CODE128 for flexible internal use like inventory or shipping labels where you encode your own data.
Why does EAN-13 need a specific number of digits?
EAN-13 and UPC are fixed-length retail standards with a built-in check digit. If your input has the wrong number of digits, the code will not validate, so follow the format's length rules.
Will the barcode scan reliably?
Yes, as long as you print it at adequate size and contrast with enough quiet space around it. Exporting as SVG helps keep edges crisp so scanners read it cleanly.
