How to generate a barcode in a few steps
Creating a barcode takes under a minute.
Step 1: Open the tool
Go to Barcode. Everything runs in your browser — nothing to install and no account to create.
Step 2: Enter your value
Type the text or number you want encoded, such as a product code or serial number.
Step 3: Choose a format
- EAN / UPC for retail product codes
- Code128 for a dense, general-purpose code
- Code39 for a simple, widely supported format
Step 4: Download PNG or SVG
Export the barcode as PNG or SVG. PNG is ideal for quick use; SVG stays sharp at any size.
Tips
- Match the format to how the barcode will be scanned (e.g., retail scanners expect EAN/UPC)
- Use SVG when printing at large sizes to keep edges crisp
- Double-check the value before generating — barcodes encode exactly what you type
What you need to get started
A modern browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge). The tool runs entirely on your device.
Verdict
Skip installs, accounts, and uploads: open Barcode and create your barcodes in seconds.
