There are 60 barcode shapes right now — skulls, hearts, diamonds, sharks, guitars, pizza slices, bottles, cats, and more. Each shape clips the barcode bars while keeping the bottom scan zone intact.

Yes. Love is one of the 60 shapes, next to skulls, sharks, ghosts, guitars, coffee cups and the rest of the library. Every shape works with every supported barcode format.

The bottom scan zone is left unmodified, and that band is what scanners actually read. Ink spread, curved packaging and cheap scanners still matter, so print a physical sample and test it before any production run.

For a barcode that scans at retail checkouts you need a number registered with GS1 — BARKOD does not issue numbers. For internal tracking, events, art prints or packaging mockups, any valid number works.

EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A, and Code 128. All exported as scalable SVG.

EAN-13 is the 13-digit standard used on retail products worldwide. EAN-8 is its 8-digit short version for small packaging. UPC-A is the 12-digit North American equivalent. Code 128 encodes letters and symbols as well as digits, which suits internal tracking and serial numbers.

Yes, there are color presets. Keep strong contrast between the bars and the background — scanners depend on it, and dark bars on a light background are always the safest choice.

Yes. The bottom scan zone is always kept unmodified. We recommend testing a physical print before production use.

Yes. Every barcode you generate can be downloaded as a high-quality SVG file — infinitely scalable, ready for print or digital use.

No. BARKOD works entirely in your browser. No account, no email, no signup required.

Yes. The generated SVG is print-ready and fully scalable. Just make sure to test scannability on a physical print before mass production.

Every other barcode generator gives you a rectangle. BARKOD gives you a shape.
