2D Barcode QR Code Generator
Enter the code you want a scanner to read. The result is a QR symbol that contains that value, not a striped retail barcode.
A QR symbol for a short code
Use this for a SKU, a serial, a batch number, or a ticket id. The scan returns that text. It does not look up a product database.
Retail checkouts that expect a striped EAN or UPC barcode will not read a QR symbol. Use this when the scanner is set up for QR.
Questions
Is this an EAN or UPC barcode?
No. It is a QR code, which is a 2D symbol. It holds the characters you type so a QR scanner can read them back.
Should I include spaces?
Spaces are removed. Keep letters, numbers, and simple symbols such as a hyphen.
