What does Barcode Generator do?
It turns text into scannable barcodes in several common formats, like EAN, UPC, Code128, and Code39, and lets you download them as PNG or SVG.
Common uses
- Adding barcodes to product labels
- Generating inventory or serial codes
- Creating scannable codes for tickets or IDs
Key features
- Multiple formats — EAN, UPC, Code128, Code39, and more
- Download PNG/SVG — export a raster or vector image
How it works
You enter your value and pick a format; the tool draws the barcode using your browser's own rendering. Nothing is uploaded.
1D vs 2D barcodes
These formats are linear (1D) barcodes, ideal for retail, logistics, and serial tracking. They encode a short run of characters into vertical bars.
Choosing a format
- EAN / UPC — standard retail product codes
- Code128 — dense, general-purpose encoding
- Code39 — simple, widely supported legacy format
Verdict
Barcode Generator covers the common 1D formats and exports clean vector or raster images. Open Barcode and create your codes — free and private.
