Terms of use: this site only turns the data you type into a barcode; it does not create, verify, register or store that data, and nothing is sent to any server. The content you enter and the use of the generated barcodes are solely the user's responsibility, including the right to use GTIN/EAN numbers (licensed by GS1), the accuracy of the information and compliance with applicable law. Links with dangerous schemes and typical attack patterns (scripts, SQL injection) are blocked, but this does not replace your own checks. By using the generator you accept these terms.

Standard 2 of 5 specification
Standard 2 of 5 (Industrial 2 of 5) is one of the first barcodes, from the 1960s. Only the bars carry information; spaces have a fixed width.
Content: digits only, of any length.
Each digit consists of 5 bars, 2 of them wide. Optional check digit (modulo 10, weights 3 and 1).
Wide-to-narrow ratio: 3:1 by default, adjustable from 2:1 to 3:1.
It has low density and takes a lot of space. It still appears on airline tickets, photo processing and legacy warehouse systems.
How to use
Type the content. To create several barcodes, put one per line.
Adjust size, height, margin and colors. The preview follows every change.
Download each barcode in the format you need, or all of them as a ZIP.
In PDF, SVG and AI the size is set by the module X — the width of the narrowest bar, in millimetres. The default for this symbology is 0.33 mm. PNG and JPG use the chosen pixel resolution. If your printer warns about ink spread, increase the bar width reduction.
