Question 1

Which format should I choose?

Accepted Answer

Code 128 is the universal choice: accepts any text and is supported by most scanners. EAN-13/EAN-8 are for retail products (numeric codes from GS1). Code 39 is for industrial and medical applications.

Question 2

How do I use the downloaded PNG?

Accepted Answer

The downloaded PNG is double resolution (2×) for crisp printing. Insert it into Word, Publisher, Canva, or any graphic editor. For professional printing, SVG is recommended (scales without quality loss).

Question 3

Why is SVG better than PNG?

Accepted Answer

SVG is a vector format that scales to any size without quality loss. Ideal for print, label printing and embedding in web pages. PNG is raster, convenient for Word documents and simple printing.
