Frequently Asked Questions

Which barcode formats are supported?

The generator supports Code 128, Code 39, EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A, and ITF-14 for common operational, packaging, and retail-style workflows.

Can I use letters and numbers in every barcode format?

Not in every format. Code 128 supports standard printable ASCII, Code 39 supports uppercase letters and a limited symbol set, and EAN, UPC, or ITF formats are numeric only.

What export format should I choose for barcode labels?

Use PNG for most label printers and web uploads, SVG for scalable vector artwork, and PDF when you need a print-ready document file.

How wide should I make the barcode?

Increase module width for larger physical labels or longer scan distances. For most desktop label printing, the default width works well.

Should I show the barcode value below the bars?

Usually yes. Human-readable text helps with manual entry, label checking, and inventory troubleshooting when a scanner is unavailable.

Can I use this for product labels and inventory tags?

Yes. It is suitable for internal inventory, shelf labels, packaging IDs, shipping bins, and operational barcode workflows.

Will very long values make the barcode harder to use?

Yes. Longer values create wider barcodes. Keep content concise for reliable scanning, and the current limit is 80 characters.

Are generated barcodes stored permanently?

No. Files are processed temporarily to generate your output, then deleted automatically. Tiny File Tools does not require signup for these tools.
