Barcode Generator FAQ

What is a barcode generator?

A barcode generator is a tool that converts text or numeric data into a scannable barcode image. The barcode type controls how the data is encoded and where it can be used.

Can I generate a barcode for free?

What barcode type should I use?

Use UPC or EAN for retail products, Code 128 for flexible inventory or shipping labels, Code 39 for simple internal labels, ITF-14 for cartons, and GS1-128 for GS1 application identifier data.
