Frequently Asked Questions

What barcode formats are supported?

Common linear formats such as Code 128, Code 39, and EAN/UPC. Pick the one your scanner or system expects — Code 128 is a good general-purpose default.

What is the difference between a barcode and a QR code?

A barcode is one-dimensional (lines) and stores a short value like a product ID; a QR code is two-dimensional and holds much more data, like URLs. Use the QR Code Generator for those.

Do these barcodes expire?

No. The barcode encodes your value directly into the image, so it works permanently and offline.
