A free, production-grade barcode generator

StatFlare Barcode Studio generates 27 barcode symbologies — retail (EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A, UPC-E, ISBN, ISSN), industrial (Code 128, Code 39, Code 93, Codabar, MSI, ITF, GS1-128, Pharmacode), logistics (GS1 DataBar), postal (PostNet, Royal Mail, USPS Intelligent Mail) and 2D (QR Code, Micro QR, Data Matrix, PDF417, Aztec, MaxiCode) — with a live preview that updates instantly, no generate button and no watermark.

Beyond the barcode itself, it includes a product mockup preview on 30+ real-world surfaces, an exact-scale print preview for common label and sheet formats, a label designer, batch generation from a CSV or Excel file, and export to PNG, SVG, PDF, EPS, JPG or WebP — all free.

How to create a barcode

  1. Choose a barcode type

    Pick from 27 symbologies across Retail, Industrial, Logistics, Postal and 2D categories.

  2. Enter your data

    Type the value to encode — StatFlare validates length, character set and checksum as you type.

  3. Customize the design

    Adjust colors, bar width, height, margin, text position, font and rotation — the preview updates instantly.

  4. Preview on a real surface

    Switch through 30+ product mockups to see the barcode in context before printing.

  5. Export

    Download as PNG, SVG, PDF, EPS, JPG or WebP at up to 600 DPI, print-ready.

Frequently asked questions

Is this barcode generator really free?

Yes. Every barcode type, every export format, product mockups, print preview, the label designer, and batch generation are all free with no watermark, no sign-up, and no limits on how many barcodes you generate. Nothing is gated behind a paid tier.

Which barcode types are supported?

27 symbologies across five categories: retail (EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A, UPC-E, ISBN, ISSN), industrial (Code 128, Code 39, Code 93, Codabar, MSI, ITF, GS1-128, Pharmacode), logistics (GS1 DataBar Omnidirectional/Expanded/Limited/Stacked), postal (PostNet, Royal Mail, USPS Intelligent Mail), and 2D (QR Code, Micro QR, Data Matrix, PDF417, Aztec Code, MaxiCode).

How do I create a barcode with GTIN, batch and expiry data (GS1-128)?

Choose GS1-128 or GS1 DataBar Expanded as the type, then use the guided field builder in the Content tab — enter the GTIN, batch/lot number, production date, and expiry date in their own fields and StatFlare formats the correct GS1 Application Identifier string automatically. You can also type a raw bracketed AI string directly if you already have one.

What export formats are available?

PNG, SVG, PDF, EPS, JPG and WebP. SVG and EPS are vector and stay perfectly sharp at any size — the right choice for professional print production. PNG supports a transparent background. PDF and EPS respect the Print-Ready toggle, which enforces at least 300 DPI and adds a bleed margin.

Can I generate hundreds or thousands of barcodes at once?

Yes, via the Batch tab. Upload a CSV or Excel file with a column of values (up to 10,000 rows), and StatFlare renders one barcode per row using your current design settings, then bundles everything into a single ZIP download — entirely in your browser, so nothing is uploaded to a server.

What is the Product Mockup Preview?

A live composite of your actual barcode on 30+ real-world surfaces — business cards, product boxes, bottle labels, shipping boxes, shelf tags, tickets, and more — so you can see how it will look in context before you print anything, without needing separate design software.

How do I know if my barcode will actually scan reliably?

The Scan Test panel runs real checks against your current settings: bar/background contrast (WCAG luminance ratio), quiet zone width, bar width safety for printing, and background transparency — each with a pass/fail explanation and a concrete suggestion if something needs attention.

Does StatFlare validate the barcode value before I download it?

Yes, in two layers. A fast client-side check catches obvious length/character-set problems as you type, and the actual encoder (the same one used to draw the barcode) is the final authority — any value it can't encode throws a descriptive error explaining exactly what's wrong, shown directly in the interface.
