Barcode Generator

Generate validated CODE128, EAN-13, and UPC-A barcodes.

About Barcode Generator

Create standards-aware barcodes with length and checksum validation and export SVG or PNG.

Barcode Generator validates CODE128, EAN-13, and UPC-A input and calculates or checks the required numeric checksum. Results can be downloaded as scalable SVG or raster PNG.

How to use it

  1. Enter or select your source data.
  2. Adjust the available options and run the tool.
  3. Review, copy, or download the result.

Common use cases

  • Create sample labels for prototype packaging or UI tests.
  • Verify a check digit before sending product data onward.
  • Generate a scalable barcode graphic for internal mockups.

Worked example

Enter a 12-digit EAN payload and let the tool calculate its checksum.

Limitations and responsible use

  • Generating a barcode does not register a retail identifier or grant ownership of a GTIN.
  • Print size, quiet zones, contrast, substrate, and printer quality affect real scanner reliability.
  • The tool covers only CODE128, EAN-13, and UPC-A.

Frequently asked questions

Can I invent an EAN or UPC for a product?

You can generate a technically valid test value, but commercial identifiers must come from the appropriate issuing authority.

Should I download SVG or PNG?

Use SVG for scalable print or design work and PNG when the destination requires a raster image.
