Our Mission

At Barcode Generator Tool, we're committed to providing high-quality, reliable, and easy-to-use barcode generation tools that help businesses of all sizes streamline their operations, increase efficiency, and meet industry standards. We believe that advanced barcode technology should be accessible to everyone, which is why we offer our comprehensive suite of tools completely free.

Our Story

Barcode Generator Tool was founded in 2020 by a team of supply chain technology specialists who recognized a critical gap in the market: while barcode technology was becoming increasingly essential across industries, most available tools were either expensive enterprise solutions or unreliable free alternatives with limited functionality.

Our founders set out to create a solution that combined enterprise-grade reliability and compliance with the accessibility of a free, web-based tool. Drawing on decades of combined experience in retail technology, logistics systems, and software development, they built what has now become the internet's most trusted free barcode generation platform.

What started as a simple tool for generating retail barcodes has evolved into a comprehensive suite supporting every major barcode format used across global industries from retail UPC and EAN codes to industrial CODE128 and CODE39, logistics-focused ITF-14, and the increasingly ubiquitous QR codes that bridge our physical and digital worlds.
