FAQ
- Which barcode format should I use? CODE128 works for general alphanumeric text, UPC/EAN are standard for retail products, and CODE39 is common in logistics and inventory systems — check what your scanner expects.
- Can I add a barcode to more than one page? This tool adds one barcode to one chosen page per run — repeat the process (uploading the result again) to stamp additional pages.
- Is my file uploaded anywhere? No — barcode generation and embedding both happen entirely in your browser.
