Frequently asked questions

Which barcode format should I use?

Use EAN-13 or UPC for retail products, CODE128 for flexible internal IDs, and ITF-14 for shipping cartons.

Why do EAN and UPC require fewer digits?

EAN-13, EAN-8, and UPC include a check digit. Enter the base digits and the generator calculates the final check digit automatically.

What is better for download: SVG or PNG?

SVG is best for print and scaling without quality loss. PNG is better when a fixed raster image is required.
