About this format
Create EAN-13 retail barcodes from 12 digits and let Barqode calculate the final check digit, or enter a complete valid 13 digit code. EAN-13 is the standard 13 digit barcode format used on many retail products, packaging layouts and GTIN workflows. Export clean SVG, EPS, PNG or JPG files for packaging and print.
EAN-13 is the familiar 13 digit barcode format used on many consumer products outside North America and throughout global retail. It is intended for numeric product identifiers and is commonly used on packaging, product labels and retail artwork. For real store use, the number itself should come from the correct issuing system.
An EAN-13 barcode contains 13 digits. The first 12 digits carry the identifier and the final digit is a calculated checksum. If you enter the first 12 digits, Barqode calculates the final check digit automatically. If you enter all 13 digits, the generator checks that the last digit matches the EAN-13 checksum before rendering the barcode.
EAN-13 is part of the EAN/UPC barcode family and is often used with GTIN-13 product identifiers. UPC-A is closely related but uses 12 digits and is most common in North American retail. If you only need to calculate the last digit, use the barcode checksum generator instead of exporting artwork.
For packaging and print layouts, SVG is usually the best export because it can be placed in professional design software without losing sharpness. Barqode exports the bars as clean filled shapes, which makes the file easier to handle in Illustrator-style workflows.
