What does the Barcode Generator do?

Code 128 encodes letters, numbers and symbols and is widely used for shipping labels, asset tags and inventory. The generator automatically uses the compact numeric mode (set C) for even-length numbers. EAN-13 is the 13-digit retail barcode found on products worldwide; enter 12 digits and the check digit is calculated, or 13 digits to have it validated.

Choose the bar width and height, toggle the human-readable text and download a PNG or a crisp SVG for printing.

  1. Choose Code 128 or EAN-13.
  2. Enter the value.
  3. Adjust bar width, height and text.
