Everything is generated locally in the browser; the barcode value is not sent to the server.

Understand formats and scanning

Barcodes without guesswork

The right format affects scanning, inventory and print

A barcode is not just a set of bars: each symbology has character, length, checksum and usage rules. Code 128 is flexible for internal labels; EAN and UPC target retail and require numeric length discipline. This tool generates local SVG for prototyping, tests and simple artwork, while commercial printing still needs correct dimensions, contrast, quiet zone and validation in the target ecosystem.

How to choose the format

Start with the scanner and the data

Use Code 128 for internal identifiers with printable ASCII letters, numbers and symbols.
Use EAN-13, EAN-8 or UPC-A when the value is numeric and has the expected retail length.
Download the SVG and test it with the real scanner before printing batches.
