Frequently asked questions

What is a check digit and do I need to calculate it?

EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A and ITF-14 end with a digit computed from the others, so scanners can spot misreads. Leave it out and it is added for you; type it and it is verified, with the correct digit shown if it is wrong.

Can I use these barcodes on products in shops?

The barcodes scan like any other, but a retail EAN or UPC number must be licensed to your company by GS1. For internal stock, shipping labels or events, Code 128 works with any value you choose.

Which file should I use for printing?

SVG is vector and stays sharp at any size, ideal for labels and print designers. The PNG is rendered at double resolution for documents and web. Keep dark bars on a light background so scanners can read them. Everything is generated in your browser.

Are my files uploaded anywhere?

No. Barcode Generator runs entirely in your browser. Your files are processed on your device and are never sent to a server.

Is there a file size limit?

No fixed limit. The only limit is your device's memory. Very large files work best in a desktop browser.

Is Barcode Generator really free?

Yes. There's no account and no watermark. A short optional ad, or a 20-second wait, unlocks each download. That's how we keep it free.
