I Built a Free Barcode Generator (Because BarcodesInc Charges $29/Year)

I was looking at my Etsy shop and realized I was paying $29 a year for BarcodesInc just to generate product barcodes. $29 a year. For something I use once a month when I list new products.

And every time I opened their app, I had to log in. My product SKUs, my UPCs, all of it went to their servers. For a barcode generator. That's ridiculous.

So I built something better.

Barcode & Label Generator runs 100% in your browser.

What you get:

• Code 128, EAN-13, UPC-A, and Code 39 barcode generation
• Batch generate up to 100 barcodes per PDF sheet
• Preset label sizes (2"×1", 3"×1", 4"×2.5") for Etsy sellers
• Print-ready PDF output — no watermark, no ads, no limits
• Your data never leaves your browser

Why I built it:

• BarcodesInc charges $29/year. I shouldn't have to pay for something I can generate for free.
• They require an account. I shouldn't need one to make a barcode.
• They process data on their servers. I want my product info to stay on my computer.
• Their free tier adds a watermark. I want clean, printable labels.

The app works completely client-side using JsBarcode and pdf-lib. No API calls, no tracking, no servers. You can even use it offline once the page is loaded.

Open-source, free forever, no subscription trap.
