Generate an EAN-13 Barcode Online Free

Retail shelves and POS systems expect familiar 13-digit product codes. EAN-13 generates an EAN-13 barcode from a valid number in your browser — free, on-device, no upload, and no signup.

This is for creating the barcode graphic from digits you already have. Official GTIN allocation and retail compliance still depend on your country’s numbering authority and store rules.

When to use

• Mockups and packaging proofs that need a realistic EAN look
• Internal demos when you already own a valid 13-digit code
• Teaching or training materials for POS scanning
• Quick checks that a number’s check digit and bars render correctly

Step-by-step

1. Open EAN-13.
2. Enter the 13-digit EAN (including the check digit) as required by the tool.
3. Generate the barcode and confirm human-readable digits under the bars.
4. Download the image for layout or print tests.
5. Scan with Scan Code or Scan from Image to verify.

For alphanumeric warehouse IDs, use Code 128. For customer-facing website links on packaging, add a Website QR.

FAQ

Can I invent any 13 digits for real store shelves?

No. Selling into retail usually requires properly assigned GTINs. Use this tool to render barcodes you are authorized to use, or for non-commercial mockups.

What if the check digit is wrong?

EAN-13 includes a check digit. Invalid numbers may be rejected or fail to scan — fix the digits before printing.

Is UPC-A the same thing?

UPC-A is related but formatted differently (often 12 digits). Do not assume interchangeability without checking your POS requirements.

Do I need an account?

No.
