Frequently asked questions

Which barcode type should I use?

Use Code 128 for general text and internal labels. Use EAN-13 or UPC-A for retail products, which usually need numbers issued by GS1. Use Code 39 for simple alphanumeric labels.

Is the barcode free to use commercially?

The barcode image itself has no watermark and no fee. For retail products, the numbers inside EAN and UPC codes are normally licensed through GS1, so check that you have the right to use yours.

Does it add the check digit?

Yes. For EAN-13, UPC-A and EAN-8 you can enter the digits without the last one and the tool adds the check digit for you.

Are my values uploaded anywhere?

No. The barcode is drawn in your browser and nothing is sent to a server.
