Create printable barcodes for free

This barcode generator turns a number or text into a standard barcode image that scanners can read. It is useful for small shops, warehouses, libraries, events and anyone who needs to label items without buying special software.

Which barcode type should you use?

  • CODE128 – flexible, supports letters and numbers; ideal for internal stock codes and labels.
  • EAN-13 – the 13-digit code used on retail products worldwide.
  • UPC – the 12-digit retail code common in the USA and Canada.

Important for retail products

If you want to sell products in supermarkets or large online marketplaces, you usually need an official EAN/UPC number registered through GS1 (GS1 Pakistan locally). Generating a random EAN here will create a valid-looking image, but it will not be registered to your company.

Printing tips

Print in solid black on a white background, keep some empty space on both sides, and do not stretch the image. Test-scan one label with your scanner or phone before printing hundreds.

Frequently Asked Questions

What barcode format does this generate?
Code 39 — a widely supported format that encodes uppercase letters, numbers, and a limited set of symbols, commonly used for inventory labels and asset tags.
Will this barcode actually scan with a real barcode scanner?
Yes — it draws a genuine, correctly-encoded Code 39 pattern, not just a decorative image, so standard barcode scanners and scanning apps should read it correctly.
