What is Barcode Generator?

Free online barcode generator to create professional Code 128 barcodes from any text, product code, ISBN, or URL with this free online barcode generator.

Customize bar width, height, colors, and background. The tool uses the Code 128B character set to encode all printable ASCII characters (space through tilde). Make a scannable barcode for product labels, shipping packages, warehouse inventory, asset tags, or library books, then download it as a PNG image to drop into a label template or print sheet. Generate a single barcode from a SKU or serial number, or encode a URL so a scanner opens a link. All processing runs entirely in your browser - your data never leaves your device. No signup required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Code 128 is a high-density linear barcode symbology that can encode all 128 ASCII characters. It is widely used in shipping, packaging, and inventory management due to its compact size and reliability. This tool uses the Code 128B character set, which covers all standard printable ASCII characters (space through tilde).

The Code 128B character set supports all printable ASCII characters from space (ASCII 32) through tilde (ASCII 126). This includes uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, punctuation, and special characters like @, #, $, and more.

Yes. You can adjust the bar width multiplier (1x, 2x, or 3x), set the barcode height from 50 to 200 pixels, change the bar color, choose between a white or transparent background, and toggle the human-readable text below the barcode.

After entering your text and customizing the barcode, click the 'Download PNG' button. The barcode will be saved as a PNG image file that you can use in documents, labels, or print materials.

Absolutely. All barcode generation happens locally in your browser using the Canvas API. Your data is never sent to any server, making this tool completely safe for sensitive product codes, internal identifiers, or proprietary information.

Enter your SKU, product code, or serial number in the input field, set the height and bar width so the barcode fits your label size, and click Download PNG. Place the PNG into your label template (Avery, Word, or your label printer software) and print. Keep a clear quiet zone of empty space on both sides so scanners read it reliably.

Yes. Code 128B supports the full set of printable ASCII characters, so you can encode a full URL including slashes, dots, and query strings. A scanner that decodes the barcode will return the URL as text. For phone cameras that open links automatically, a QR code is usually a better fit.

The most common causes are a barcode printed too small, missing quiet zones, or low contrast. Increase the height and bar width, keep the bars black on a white background, and leave empty margins on the left and right. Avoid scaling the PNG unevenly after download, since stretching distorts the bar ratios.
