Frequently Asked Questions

What types of barcodes can I create?

You can create Linear codes (Code 128, Code 39, MSI, Pharmacode), EAN/UPC codes (EAN-8, EAN-13, UPC), and ISBN codes for books. Each type is designed for specific use cases.

Which barcode type should I use?

For general purpose, use Code 128 as it supports letters and numbers. For retail products, use EAN-13 (worldwide) or UPC (North America). For books, use ISBN-13. Pharmacode is specifically for pharmaceutical packaging.

Can I use these barcodes commercially?

Yes! The barcodes generated are standard formats suitable for commercial use. However, for retail barcodes (EAN/UPC), you need to obtain a valid GS1 company prefix to ensure unique product identification.

What's the difference between EAN and UPC?

EAN-13 is the international standard used worldwide (13 digits), while UPC is the North American standard (12 digits). EAN-8 is a compact version for small products. Both are scannable by most retail systems.

What format should I download?

Use JPG for digital use, websites, or quick prints. Choose PDF for high-quality printing, labels, or when you need professional output. PDFs maintain quality at any size.

Will my barcode scan correctly?

Yes, our barcodes are generated using industry-standard encoding. Before mass printing, we recommend testing with a barcode scanner to verify the data is correctly encoded.
