1. What is the Barcode Generator?

Create barcodes for products, inventory, shipping cartons, library books and event tickets. Choose the barcode type, type your value, and adjust size and colors. EAN-13 and UPC-A are used on retail products; Code 128 encodes any text and is common for shipping and inventory labels. Download a high-resolution PNG or a scalable SVG for printing.

Note: to sell in retail stores you need official product numbers (GTINs) registered with GS1.
