Yes. Free barcode software should print a code that scans, on the size you stock. This is that software: native CODE128, UPC, EAN, or QR, Excel rows, print to a Zebra or download a PNG. You don't need a barcode font.

Good to know: Excel barcode fonts often fail at the scanner. Use a barcode object, not a font. We don't issue GS1 numbers.

How to print barcodes with free barcode software

  1. Open https://app.mylabelmaker.com. No signup.
  2. Add a barcode object. Don't paste a barcode font from Excel.
  3. Set the value, or {{sku}} from a sheet.
  4. Print, or download PNG, PDF, or ZPL.

Print or save

If you have a Zebra, print from the browser with Browser Print at the printer's DPI. Everyone else: download PNG, JPEG, SVG, PDF, or ZPL. JSON keeps the editable master so you can come back to it.
