Free Bulk Barcode Generator: Create Hundreds of Barcodes at Once

Need a barcode for every SKU? Paste your list, pick a format, and download every barcode as a single zip — free, validated, and generated in your browser.


Generating barcodes one at a time is fine for a single label. For a product catalog, an inventory count or a shipment of SKUs, you need them in bulk — and you need them validated so a scanner does not choke on a bad check digit.

Generate barcodes in bulk in four steps

  1. Pick one format for the batch — Code 128, EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A or Code 39.
  2. Paste your values, one per line. Each line becomes its own barcode.
  3. Generate the whole batch at once, right in your browser.
  4. Download a single zip with every barcode inside, plus an index manifest.

Which barcode format should I use?

  • Code 128 — dense, flexible, good for internal SKUs and shipping labels (letters and numbers).
  • EAN-13 / EAN-8 — retail products sold internationally; 13 or 8 digits with a check digit.
  • UPC-A — retail products in North America; 12 digits.
  • Code 39 — older but widely supported; common in logistics and ID.

EAN and UPC values are validated, including their check digits, so invalid entries are reported instead of silently producing an unscannable code.

Why bulk + zip beats one-at-a-time

When you generate a list, each barcode is named from its value and a index.csv manifest maps every value to its file. That means you can drop the zip straight into a label template or hand it to a print shop without renaming anything.

Is it really free?

Yes. You can generate up to 100 barcodes per batch for free, with no signup. Barcodes are created client-side in your browser — nothing is uploaded to a server. Sign in only if you want to save them to a dashboard.
