How to Create a Barcode
- Choose your barcode type — Open QRMax and select the barcode format you need.
- Enter the data — Input the product number, SKU, or text to encode.
- Customize & download — Adjust size, add human-readable text below, and export as PNG or SVG.
Practical Tips
- Use the correct format for your industry — UPC/EAN for retail, Code 128 for shipping, Code 39 for industrial.
- Print at minimum size specs — UPC barcodes need at minimum 80% magnification for reliable scanning.
- For PDF labels and spec sheets, use MyPDF to create print-ready barcode label PDFs with MyPDF's barcode tools.
What's the difference between a barcode and a QR code?
Traditional barcodes (1D) store a short number or string in horizontal lines. QR codes (2D) store much more data in a square matrix pattern — URLs, text, contacts, etc.
Do I need a GS1 number for retail barcodes?
For products sold in retail stores, yes. You need a GS1 company prefix to generate valid UPC or EAN numbers. QRMax generates the barcode image; the number must come from your GS1 registration.
Can I generate barcodes in bulk?
Yes. Upload a CSV of product numbers and QRMax will batch-generate barcodes for all entries.
