BarcodeWeb is a free online barcode tool for creating Code 128, EAN-13, UPC-A, and QR Codes. Generate a code, preview it instantly, and download the result for digital use, labels, documents, inventory, packaging, and more.
Create barcodes and QR codes in your browser — quickly, simply, and without an account.
Create a barcode in a few seconds. Enter the value you want to encode, choose a format, and generate your code. You can then download the result as PNG, SVG, or PDF.
BarcodeWeb.com is designed to make everyday barcode creation straightforward. The goal is simple: provide a useful browser-based tool that lets people create common barcode and QR formats without installing software or creating an account.
Whether you are preparing an inventory label, testing a product identifier, creating a shipping reference, or making a QR code for a link, the generator puts the basic workflow in one place.
A barcode is a machine-readable representation of information. Traditional one-dimensional (1D) barcodes use patterns of bars and spaces, while two-dimensional (2D) codes such as QR Codes use a grid of modules to represent information.
When a compatible scanner or camera reads a barcode, the encoded value can be passed to another system such as a point-of-sale application, inventory system, shipping workflow, or website.
The important point is that a barcode is a way of representing data; it does not automatically create or register a product number for you. For retail products, identifiers such as UPC-A and EAN-13 may need to come from the appropriate issuing organization.
Each format is suited to a different kind of data and workflow. Choose the format that matches how the code will be used.
1D barcode commonly used for logistics, inventory, shipping, and internal identification.
It is a compact, high-density format that can represent letters and numbers, making it useful when the encoded value is not limited to a retail product number.
1D retail barcode designed around a 13-digit structure and widely used for products in international retail environments.
For commercial products, the number itself should be properly assigned through the relevant identification system before it is printed on packaging.
1D retail barcode commonly associated with products sold through retail systems in the United States and Canada.
UPC-A uses a 12-digit structure. Generating the graphic does not assign an official UPC number.
2D code that can encode information such as URLs, text, contact details, and other data that can be read by compatible cameras and scanners.
QR Codes are particularly convenient for mobile users because a phone camera can often scan them directly.
| Format | Best suited to | Typical data | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| Code 128 | Inventory, logistics, shipping, internal labels | Letters and numbers | 1D |
| EAN-13 | Retail product identification | 13-digit structure | 1D |
| UPC-A | Retail product identification | 12-digit structure | 1D |
| QR Code | Web links, information, mobile interactions | Text and other supported data | 2D |
