Editorial interest 79/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A free browser-based generator for 11 barcode types, paired with plain-English guides to choosing, sizing, and printing them.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-03 issue.

For: People printing product, carton, and internal labels
Worth noticing: The PNG export offers 26 printer resolutions with whole-dot sizing; the site flags dimensions outside GS1 ranges.

Field notes

The form updates a preview as data changes and lets users set X-dimension, bar height, and quiet zone; UPC, EAN, and ITF-14 check digits are added automatically. Its guidance distinguishes retail and trading-partner standards from internal labels, and covers choosing a symbology, getting UPC numbers, print sizing, and troubleshooting. The page says generation stays in the browser and offers SVG plus PNG output tuned to selected printer resolutions.
