What barcode formats are supported?

Our barcode generator supports popular formats including Code 128, Code 39, EAN-13, UPC-A, Code 93, Codabar, and more. Each format has specific use cases and data capacity limits.

What's the difference between 1D and 2D barcodes?

1D (linear) barcodes encode data in one dimension with varying bar widths. 2D barcodes like QR codes can store much more data in two dimensions using patterns of squares, dots, or other shapes.

Can I use generated barcodes commercially?

Yes, all barcodes generated with our tool are free for personal and commercial use. However, ensure compliance with industry standards and regulations for your specific application.

What resolution should I use for printing barcodes?

For best scanning results, print barcodes at 300 DPI or higher. The minimum barcode height should be at least 0.5 inches (12.7mm) for most applications.

Do barcodes expire or become invalid?

Barcodes themselves don't expire, but the data they encode might become outdated. The barcode format standards are stable and widely supported.

Can smartphones scan the generated barcodes?

Yes, modern smartphones with camera apps can scan most barcode types. The generated barcodes are compatible with standard barcode scanning applications and hardware readers.
