FAQ

What is a barcode generator?

A barcode generator is an online tool that turns the text you enter into a scannable barcode image, widely used for labeling and tracking in retail, books, logistics and more.

Which barcode types are supported?

Over a dozen common types are supported, including Code128, EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A, Code39, ITF-14 and Codabar. Different types suit different scenarios; see the comparison table above.

How do I generate barcodes in batch?

Put one item per line to generate in batch, or choose separators such as commas or semicolons. The generated barcodes are automatically packed into a ZIP for one-click download.

Can the generated barcode be printed?

Yes. Download the SVG vector for print at any size without quality loss. For PNG, choose a large enough size to keep the scan clear.

Are there limits on barcode content?

Different types have different character sets: EAN only accepts fixed-length digits, while Code128 supports all ASCII characters. The tool will warn and refuse if the content does not fit the chosen type.

Do I need to register or pay?

No, it is completely free. Open the page and use everything. Usage is only counted when you download images, so everyday use costs nothing.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. Barcodes are generated locally in your browser, and neither your input nor the images are uploaded, so sensitive data such as internal product codes is safe.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes. The page is responsive on mobile browsers with full generation and download features, handy for printing barcodes on site.

Online generator vs. printing software?

Printing software requires installation and some features cost money. The online generator needs no install or registration, works instantly, and supports batch and vector export, which is more convenient for daily use.

Why won't my barcode scan?

Check whether the type matches the content, the width is not too small, and there is no extra whitespace. Code128 at the default width generally gives the highest recognition rate.

Can I customize barcode colors?

Yes. Set the foreground and background colors freely in the settings, and control the text display and size. Keep strong contrast for reliable scanning.

Can text be added below the barcode?

Yes. Turn on "Show Text" to display the content below the barcode, and adjust the font size for easy manual reading and verification.
