Generating labels every day, or need them linked to actual stock counts?
This free tool covers one-off codes and print-ready label sheets. If you need barcodes wired into a real inventory system — stock counts, reorder alerts, a proper till — that's a small, well-scoped software build, the kind of thing we do.
What people usually ask first.
Is this barcode generator really free?
Yes — no sign-up, no watermark, no limit on how many you generate. It runs entirely in your browser, so nothing you type is sent to a server.
Which format should I use?
CODE128 is the safest general-purpose choice and accepts letters and numbers. EAN-13 and UPC are the standard formats used on retail products at point of sale — use these if your barcode needs to scan at a till or match an existing product numbering system. ITF-14 is for cartons and shipping units.
Can I use this for my shop's products?
Yes. Use "Single barcode" for a one-off code, or "Label sheet" to generate up to 96 labels at once as a print-ready PDF sized for standard A4 label sheets. If you need barcodes linked to actual stock counts and sales, it's worth talking to us about a proper inventory or point-of-sale setup.
What label sheets does the batch PDF fit?
3 columns × 8 rows per A4 page (24 labels/page) — the same layout as common address label sheets sold at most stationery and office suppliers. If your labels use a different layout, print to plain paper and cut, or talk to us about a print-ready template matched to your exact label stock.
