What is Barcode Generator?

Barcode Generator creates standard 1D barcodes from your own data in seconds. Pick a symbology — Code 128, Code 39, EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A, ITF-14, MSI, Pharmacode, or Codabar — type your value, and adjust the bar width, height, and label. Invalid input for strict formats like EAN and UPC is caught and explained rather than producing a broken code. Download the result as a PNG for printing or an SVG for perfectly sharp scaling, all without anything leaving your browser.

How to use Barcode Generator

  1. Choose a format

    Select the barcode symbology from the Format menu. Each one has a sample value loaded automatically so you can see a valid code straight away.

  2. Enter your data

    Type the value to encode into the Data field. The hint under the box tells you what each format accepts — for example EAN-13 needs 12 or 13 digits and UPC-A needs 11 or 12.

  3. Fix any validation errors

    If the data doesn't fit the chosen format, a clear message explains what's expected instead of rendering an unscannable barcode. Adjust the value until the preview appears.

  4. Style the barcode

    Toggle the human-readable text on or off and use the sliders to set bar width and height so the code fits your label or packaging.

  5. Download PNG or SVG

    Click PNG for a raster image ready to place in a document, or SVG for a vector file that stays crisp at any print size.
