Barcode Studio - Your Barcode Creator

Barcode Studio is a fast and convenient way of generating high-quality barcode images (bitmap and vector formats for prepress and printing) without programming. Ready-to-use barcode templates support the creation of standardized barcodes. The integrated label printing function simplifies printing of simple barcode labels (price tags, etc.).

Barcode Maker Software

Bitmap or Vector Graphics

The required barcodes are edited and adjusted directly on your screen, no special knowledge is needed. The barcode output takes place at the clipboard, or directly at your printer as bitmap (BMP, GIF, JPG, TIF, PNG) or vector graphics (EPS, PDF, PostScript®, SVG, AI).

Generated barcodes can be used immediately for your purpose: add the barcode graphics to image editing programs, databases, forms or documents.

Guaranteed Barcode Quality

A special feature offered by Barcode Studio is the inbuilt quality preview. The expected bar code quality is calculated in real-time by indicating the printing tolerance with respect to the output resolution (DPI). Unreadable barcodes are avoided.

Serial Numbers and Data Import

Barcode Studio offers various possibilities for creating a series of barcodes. You can generate serial numbers automatically or import barcode-data from external files. Moreover, Barcode Studio offers a full-featured command-line interface for batch operation and integration into third party applications.

Preconfigured Templates

Barcode Studio contains barcode templates for immediate use for EAN-13, UPC-A, GS1, vCard and Deutsche Post Data Matrix. Within these templates all the barcode settings are preconfigured exactly according to the specifications.

Mobile Tagging

With an assistant, the input of barcode data for 2D barcodes is considerably simplified. Mobile tagging barcodes such as links for LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook or websites can be generated just as easily as barcodes for business cards in vCard format.

For industrial users, pre-defined application identifiers (AI) facilitate the correct creation of GS1 barcodes. The data assistant automatically takes care of the appropriate FNC1 insertions.

Special-Effect Barcodes

Create eye-catching bar codes in no time at all: you are free to embed logos into the barcode image. In addition, special drawing effects (like circles, rounded rectangles, images) are supported.

Barcode Label Printing

For printing generated bar codes the user can choose from predefined templates or define custom labels as required. Barcode Studio provides templates like Avery or Avery/Zweckform.

For all Operating Systems

Barcode Studio is available for the following operating systems:

  • Microsoft® Windows
  • macOS™, OS X®
  • Linux®/UNIX® on request

After looking at and trying a number of barcode generators and formatters in frustration, I came to Barcode Studio. This program does exactly what it says it will do, with an interface so intuitive that I've needed to look at the manual, which is excellent, only once. Customer Service and support has been within 24 hours whenever needed. Every product should be run this way.
