What this site is
FreeBarcodeGenerator makes barcode images and printable labels for small businesses, online sellers, authors and warehouses. Everything is free, with no account, watermark or limit.
What we don't do
- We don't sell barcode numbers. Retail UPC/EAN numbers come from GS1; ISBNs come from your national ISBN agency.
- We're not affiliated with GS1, Amazon, Avery or any other company mentioned on this site. Names are used only to describe compatibility.
- We don't upload your data. Barcodes, spreadsheets, PDFs and camera scans are processed in your browser.
How it's paid for
We plan to show a small number of ads below the tools. Ads will never cover the generator or appear inside the preview.
