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.

Test every barcode before use. The user is solely responsible for the accuracy of the barcode.
Code-93 specification
Code-93 was created in 1982 as a more compact and secure version of Code-39. It is used, for example, by Canada Post.
Characters: digits 0–9, uppercase letters A–Z, space and the symbols - . $ / + % (47 characters in total).
Extended mode: encodes all of ASCII (0 to 127) using shift characters. The scanner must have extended mode enabled.
Check characters C and K (modulo 47): required by the specification and included by default. Without them, most scanners reject the barcode.
It is a 4-width symbology (each character is 9 modules wide, with 3 bars and 3 spaces), so there is no wide-to-narrow ratio to adjust.
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.
