Barcode Generator

Generate a barcode from text or numbers, ready to download.

Selling products in stores? Retail UPC and EAN barcodes must use numbers licensed to your company by GS1 (GS1 US in the United States). This tool draws a barcode for any number you enter, which is fine for internal labels, inventory and testing, but it does not issue official product numbers.

How to use Barcode Generator

  1. Type the text or number you want encoded.
  2. Choose a barcode symbology — CODE128 for general text, EAN-13 or UPC for retail products.
  3. Click Generate, then download the barcode as a PNG.

Frequently asked questions

Which barcode type should I use?
CODE128 handles any letters, numbers, or symbols and is the most flexible choice. EAN-13 and UPC are fixed-format numeric codes used specifically for retail products and require a valid check digit.

Will this barcode scan correctly at checkout?
Standard scanners read CODE128, EAN-13, and UPC barcodes generated here without issue, as long as it's printed at a reasonable size (at least 1 inch wide is a safe rule of thumb).

Is there a limit to how many barcodes I can generate?
No — generate as many as you need. Each one is created instantly in your browser with no account or usage limit.
