351 × 104 px — 3 pixels per module. At 300 dpi that prints 29.7 mm wide, with an X-dimension of 0.254 mm.
Check digit 7 worked out from the first twelve. The leading digit is printed but not drawn: it is carried in which of the two patterns each of the next six digits uses. The first three digits are the prefix of the numbering organisation that issued the code, not where the product was made.
How to Use the Barcode Generator Online
Barcode Generator draws an EAN-13 or Code 128 barcode from what you type and saves it as a PNG. EAN-13 takes 12 digits and adds the check digit for you, or takes all 13 if yours is already right; it is the format on retail packaging. Code 128 encodes any printable text, which suits shelf labels, asset tags and internal stock codes. The white margin each side is drawn in, because a scanner needs it to find the edges.
Makes a scannable EAN-13 or Code 128 barcode. EAN-13 includes a check digit computed from the other twelve, so a made-up number will not scan as valid — and a real retail barcode has to be registered with GS1 rather than invented.

Code 128 cannot hold accented letters, Hindi or other non-Latin characters. Stick to plain letters, digits and punctuation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about this tool.
Do I need to install anything to use the Barcode Generator?
No. Barcode Generator runs entirely in your browser — there is nothing to download, no extension and no desktop program. It works the same on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iPhone.
Is it safe to use the Barcode Generator online?
Safer than the usual alternative, yes. Most online tools upload your file to a server you know nothing about, where it sits until someone deletes it. Here the file never leaves your device — the processing happens in the page itself, so there is no server copy to leak, retain or sell.
Does Barcode Generator reduce my photo’s quality?
Converting and cropping keep quality close to the original. Compressing trades a little detail for a much smaller file, and a lighter setting keeps more of it. Compare the preview with your original before saving.
Will my photo be accepted by the exam form?
The exam photo tools follow the size, dimensions and file weight given in the official notice. Always read the latest notice too, because boards sometimes change their rules between years.
Can I edit pictures with Barcode Generator straight from my gallery?
Yes. Pick a photo from your gallery or take one with the camera, then save the result back to your phone. Everything works in the browser, so there is no app to install.
Is Barcode Generator free with no watermark?
Yes. Use it for as many pictures as you need without an account, and each image comes back without any logo or mark from the site.
