Frequently asked questions

What is a UPC-A barcode used for?

UPC-A is a 12-digit retail barcode commonly used to identify products in retail and point-of-sale systems, particularly in the United States and Canada.

How many digits does a UPC-A barcode contain?

A UPC-A value contains 12 digits. The final digit is a check digit used to help verify the barcode value.

Can I use any 12-digit number as a UPC-A?

The generator can create a UPC-A symbol from a valid UPC-A value, but a generated number is not automatically an officially assigned retail identifier. Use an identifier assigned to your product when a trading partner or retailer requires one.

Can I download my UPC-A barcode?

Yes. BarcodeYard can export the generated barcode as PNG, SVG, or PDF, or send it to print.

How do I create a UPC barcode?

Enter a valid 12-digit UPC-A value in the generator, create the barcode, then download it as PNG, SVG, or PDF. A barcode generator creates the symbol from your number; it does not assign an official product identifier.

Can I create a UPC barcode for free?

Yes. BarcodeYard lets you create a UPC-A barcode online for free without installing software or creating an account.

Can I use a UPC barcode for Amazon?

If a marketplace or retailer requires a UPC or GTIN, use the product identifier assigned to your product by the appropriate issuing organization. BarcodeYard can generate the barcode symbol from a valid UPC-A value, but it does not issue UPC or GTIN numbers.
