About this tool

Generate machine-readable barcodes in Code128, EAN, or UPC formats and place them directly into your PDF, all from a single file. Pick the symbology, type in your data, and drag the barcode to sit precisely where it belongs in your layout, whether that is a UPC on a product catalog, a tracking number on a shipping or inventory sheet, or a price tag and asset label headed for the floor. Every barcode is drawn at sharp, print-ready resolution so it scans dependably at the register or out in the warehouse. There is no upload step anywhere in the process; the codes are created and embedded right inside your browser, which keeps your data on your own machine and away from any server. As soon as it is done, the PDF holds its full clarity and saves to your device on demand. It is built for retailers prepping product labels, warehouse and logistics teams tracking stock, and small businesses producing scannable documents in-house.

Frequently Asked Questions

You can generate Code128, Code39, EAN-13, UPC-A, ITF-14, and even QR codes. Linear formats suit retail and inventory labeling, while QR works for links or longer data. Just pick the symbology that matches your scanner or workflow.
Yes. Numeric formats are validated before generating, so EAN-13 expects 12 or 13 digits, UPC-A needs 11 or 12, and ITF-14 requires 13 or 14. If the data doesn't fit the chosen format, you'll get an error instead of an unscannable code.
You control the barcode's position, width, and height, and you can apply it to a specific page or a page range. This lets the code align neatly with your label layout, price tag, or shipping sheet rather than landing in a fixed spot.
Yes. Each barcode is rendered at sharp, print-ready resolution with the human-readable value shown beneath it. That crisp output is built for dependable scanning on both screens and printed labels at checkout counters and in logistics operations.
It's free with no account needed, and the barcode is created right inside your browser. Your PDF and product data never touch a server, so inventory sheets and catalogs stay confidential while you produce scannable documents in-house.
