Generate UPC-A Barcode Images for Retail Products

Selling packaged consumer products in North American retail channels requires standard 12-digit UPC-A barcodes on packaging. You can convert your GS1-assigned product numbers into print-ready vector graphics with automated check-digit validation.

Step by step

  1. 1

    Select UPC-A Format

    Choose UPC-A from the barcode format selector.

  2. 2

    Enter 12-Digit Product Code

    Type your GS1-issued company prefix and product identification number.

  3. 3

    Verify and Export

    Confirm the check digit status and download your SVG or PNG barcode graphic.

Automated Check Digit Verification

Input 11 or 12 digits to instantly verify the modulo check digit. If an incorrect check digit is entered, the tool highlights the mistake and provides the mathematically correct digit.

Print-Ready Vector SVG Output

Export crisp SVG graphics that packaging designers can drop directly into Illustrator or InDesign without pixelation or scanning artifacts.
