Frequently Asked Questions About UPCGen

Do I need a GS1 membership to use barcodes from UPCGen?

UPCGen generates the visual barcode image based on the numbers you provide. If you are selling on major retail platforms like Amazon, you typically need to purchase officially registered identification numbers from GS1 to ensure global uniqueness and compliance.

What file formats are supported for downloads?

UPCGen supports both raster and vector formats. You can download your barcodes as PNG, SVG, PDF, or EPS. Vector formats (SVG/PDF/EPS) are highly recommended for professional printing to avoid pixelation.

Is there a limit to how many barcodes I can create?

While there is a free tier for one-off generation, the paid plans unlock bulk processing via CSV, allowing you to generate thousands of barcodes efficiently for large-scale operations.
