Frequently Asked Questions
Is this barcode generator really free?
Yes, completely free with no signup required. Generate unlimited barcodes in any of the 13 supported formats and download in PNG, SVG, or PDF.
Which barcode format should I use?
For retail products in Europe, use EAN-13. In North America, use UPC-A. For shipping cartons, use ITF-14. For general purpose with full ASCII support, Code 128 is the most versatile. For small products, use EAN-8 or UPC-E.
Can I generate ISBN barcodes?
Yes! Select EAN-13 and paste your ISBN-10 or ISBN-13. The generator automatically detects ISBN format and converts it to a valid EAN-13 barcode with the correct check digit.
Can I use these barcodes commercially?
Yes. The barcodes generated here are standard formats. However, for retail products you need to register with GS1 to get valid company prefixes and product numbers.
What resolution are the exported barcodes?
You can choose 1x (standard), 2x (retina), or 4x (print-ready at 300+ DPI). SVG exports are infinitely scalable. PDF exports at 300 DPI with selectable page sizes (A4, Letter, A5).
What does the print quality checker do?
It analyzes your barcode settings in real-time, checking bar width, height, quiet zone (margin), and color contrast against scanning standards. It gives a score from 0-100 with specific warnings to help you create scannable barcodes.
Can I rotate the barcode?
Yes, the generator supports 0°, 90°, 180°, and 270° rotation. The rotation applies both in the preview and in exported files.
