How to create a EAN-8 barcode

Enter your data

Type or paste the 7-digit number. The check digit is calculated automatically, or verified if you enter it.

Adjust bars and text

Set bar height, module width and quiet zone, and choose whether to print the human-readable text.

Set the print size

Enter the final width in mm, cm, inches or pixels. The X-dimension and height update as you type.

Download and test

Export SVG for print or PNG at 300–600 dpi, then run a test scan before you print a full batch.
