Barcode generator

Make a barcode for products, cartons or stock: Code 128, EAN-13, UPC-A, EAN-8, Code 39 or ITF-14. Download as SVG or PNG.

EAN-13 (retail, 12 or 13 digits)
896123456789

How it works

Code 128 encodes any letters and numbers and suits shipping and internal stock. Retail products sold in shops need an EAN-13 (or UPC-A in North America) number from GS1, so the code is unique worldwide; in Pakistan that is GS1 Pakistan. ITF-14 is used on outer cartons.

For EAN-13 you can enter 12 digits and the check digit is worked out for you.

Frequently asked questions

Can I make up my own EAN-13 number?

You can draw any number, but shops and marketplaces expect a GS1-registered number for retail products. Use made-up numbers only for internal use.

Which file should I give my printer?

The SVG: it stays sharp at any size.
