Frequently Asked Questions

Is it really free to use?

Yes. Our text to barcode tool is completely free. No registration, no limits, and no hidden fees.

Is my data secure?

Yes. All barcode generation runs in your browser. Your data never leaves your device or is sent to any server.

Which barcode format should I use?

Use CODE128 for general text (any characters). Use EAN-13 for 12–13 digit product codes (retail). Use UPC-A for 11–12 digit products. CODE39 works for alphanumeric and a few symbols. Check the format hint under the selector for character rules.

Why does generation fail for my input?

Each barcode format has strict rules. EAN-13 needs 12 or 13 digits. UPC-A needs 11 or 12 digits. CODE39 allows only A–Z, 0–9, and -.$/+% and space. Try CODE128 for arbitrary text, or adjust your input to match the format.
