Barcode Generator

A barcode image from a single code

Inventory SKUs, asset tags, library numbers, event ticket IDs — whenever a scanner needs to read a code, turn it into a barcode here. It's drawn as you type, and you can download a PNG for documents and label designs, or an SVG that stays sharp at any size.

Barcode types

• Code 128 — upper and lowercase letters, digits and symbols in a compact barcode; the most common choice for internal codes. Long runs of digits automatically use the denser code set C.
• EAN-13 — the 13-digit international retail barcode (UPC-A codes can be written as EAN-13 with a leading 0). Enter 12 digits and the check digit is added; enter 13 and it's verified, with the correct value shown if it's wrong.
• EAN-8 — the 8-digit version for small products.
• Code 39 — an older format with uppercase letters, digits and a few symbols, still required by some equipment.
• Auto — 12–13 digits → EAN-13, 7–8 digits → EAN-8, anything else → Code 128.

Good to know

EAN/UPC numbers for products you sell can't be made up — you need a company prefix licensed by your country's GS1 organization. This tool only draws numbers you already have. Print with a laser printer so bars don't bleed, and don't crop the white quiet zones on each side. To print barcodes for many items on label sheets, use Barcode Label Maker. Barcodes are generated on this device.
