Which barcode format should I use?

For retail products in stores or on marketplaces, use EAN-13 (international) or UPC-A (North America). For internal inventory, asset tags, or logistics, Code 128 handles full alphanumeric input and is the most versatile. Books use ISBN, shipping cartons use ITF-14, and older or compliance systems often expect Code 39.

Can I invent my own barcode numbers for retail?

No. Products sold through real retailers or marketplaces need a GTIN issued from a legitimate GS1 company prefix. Made-up EAN-13 or UPC-A numbers can clash with real products and cause problems at checkout. These generators render codes you legitimately own; they do not assign you a licensed number.

Are my codes or files uploaded to a server?

No. Barcode generation, QR codes, label cropping, and metadata removal all run entirely in your browser using JavaScript and the Canvas API. Your data, images, and private URLs never leave your device, so the tools are safe for confidential product information.

Can I print a full sheet of barcode labels at once?

Yes. The Barcode Label Sheet Generator produces print-ready PDFs with Avery-compatible layouts and supports CSV import, so you can generate a sheet of different codes in one job rather than printing them one at a time.

Do I need an account to use these tools?

No. Every tool in this collection is free with no login, no email, and no credit card. Open any tool and start generating immediately.

Free Barcode and Label Tools

Create barcodes

For products sold in shops or on marketplaces, use the EAN-13 (international) or UPC-A (North America) generators. For internal stock, asset tags, or logistics, Code 128 is the most flexible. Books need ISBN, cartons need ITF-14, and the sequential generator produces a numbered run in one go.

Which tool should I use?

I am selling a product in shops or on a marketplace: Use the EAN-13 Barcode Generator (or UPC-A in North America). Retail codes need a real GS1 prefix, so use these to render a GTIN you already own, not to invent one.
I just need to track stock, shelves, or equipment internally: Use the Code 128 Barcode Generator for flexible alphanumeric codes, then the Barcode Label Sheet Generator to print a whole page at once.
I need to print a batch of carrier labels on a thermal printer: Use the Shipping Label Cropper to trim a full-page PDF down to a clean 4x6 label.
I am about to upload product photos and want them private: Run them through the Image Metadata Remover first to strip GPS and camera data before the photos go public.
