About Barcode Generator
The Barcode Generator creates a CODE128 barcode from any text or number. CODE128 is a compact, widely supported format used for shipping labels, inventory tags, asset tracking and ticketing.
How to use it
- Enter the text or number to encode.
- Check the barcode preview.
- Download it as a PNG image and add it to your label or document.
Good to know
- CODE128 supports letters, digits and common symbols, which makes it flexible for internal labels and IDs.
- Retail products sold in stores usually need EAN or UPC codes issued through GS1. CODE128 is not a substitute for those.
- Test printed barcodes with the scanner you will actually use, since print quality and size affect readability.
Common questions
Can I use this for products in shops?
Retailers generally require registered EAN or UPC codes. This tool is best for internal labels, inventory, shipping and events.
Why won't my scanner read the barcode?
Try printing it larger, with a clear white margin on both sides, and make sure the scanner is set to read CODE128.
