- What barcode format is used?
- CODE-128 — supports the full ASCII character set, compact, and widely scannable. The industry standard for shipping labels, inventory, and documents.
- Does it scan on mobile cameras?
- Yes — generated barcodes scan reliably on iOS Camera, Android Google Lens, and dedicated barcode apps. Print at 300 DPI for best results.
- Can I embed in PDFs?
- Yes — download the PNG and drop into a PDF. For SVG (crisp at any print size), toggle the output format. SVG is better for high-resolution printing.
- What about other formats like EAN-13 or QR?
- CODE-128 here. For EAN-13 (retail products) or QR codes use the QR Code Generator tool. Different formats have different use cases.
