Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between EAN-13 and UPC-A?

EAN-13 is the international standard used in Europe, Asia, and required by Amazon. UPC-A is the North American retail standard used in the USA and Canada. Amazon accepts both formats.

Can I use a generated barcode on Amazon?

Amazon requires your barcode number to be registered with GS1 (the official barcode licensing body). This tool generates the visual barcode label once you have your GS1-issued EAN or UPC number — it does not issue GS1 numbers.

What file format should I use for packaging?

Use SVG for all print work — it scales to any size without quality loss. PNG is suitable for digital mockups and presentations where vector format is not needed.

What is the check digit and why is it added automatically?

The check digit is the final digit of any EAN or UPC barcode. It is a mathematical checksum that scanners use to verify the barcode was read correctly. This tool computes and appends it automatically.
