Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between a barcode and a QR code?
Barcodes are one-dimensional (1D) and store data horizontally in lines. QR codes are two-dimensional (2D) and can store much more data. Barcodes are typically used for product identification, while QR codes can link to websites, contact info, and more.
Which barcode format should I use?
Code 128 is the most versatile and can encode any character. EAN-13 and UPC are standard for retail products. Code 39 is common in industrial settings. Choose based on your industry standards and data requirements.
Can I use these barcodes commercially?
Yes! Our barcode generator creates standard formats that are compatible with all barcode scanners. However, for retail products, you'll need to register for official UPC/EAN codes through GS1.
How do I print barcodes at the right size?
For reliable scanning, keep barcodes at least 1 inch wide. Download as SVG for scalable printing without quality loss. Always test scan your barcodes before bulk printing.
