Code 39 Barcode Generator

About the Code 39 Barcode Generator

Code 39 (also called Code 3 of 9) is one of the oldest and most widely supported barcodes, encoding uppercase letters A–Z, the digits 0–9, and a handful of symbols (- . $ / + % and space). It needs no check digit and is read by virtually every scanner, which makes it a staple for asset tags, ID badges, and industrial and government labels. This generator renders Code 39 barcodes entirely in your browser, so nothing is uploaded, and you can download a vector SVG for sharp printing or a PNG.
