Barcodes as EPS / CMYK – Batch Creation for EAN & more

BARCODE VECTORIZER – A versatile generator for creating high-quality barcodes in single or batch mode, with seamless export to EPS or PDF for use in applications such as Adobe Illustrator + InDesign, CorelDRAW and more.

EPS & PDF – Generating Barcode Graphics in CMYK Colors

Raster and Vector Formats Our Barcode Generator produces fully portable PDF and EPS graphics, with text already converted to curves and an optional embedded TIFF preview for EPS. Supporting both RGB and CMYK colors, the generator allows for precise definition of individual color components using the standard scales of 0-100 (CMYK) or 0-255 (RGB). Resulting PDFs comply with the PDF/X-1a:2001 and PDF/X-3:2002 standards, ensuring accurate color reproduction in print. All supported vector formats store barcode line coordinates with a high precision of six decimal places.

Best for Generating EAN, UPC and ISBN Barcodes

Standard Sizes for EAN and ISBN Barcodes

For the above-mentioned barcodes of the GTIN family, the generator includes templates for the standard sizes SC0 to SC9, as defined by the specification. This simplifies the barcode generation process, often reducing it to just entering the respective number (Official GS1 specification: PDF).

Standard Sizes (SC0-SC9): Particularly for sizes SC0 and SC1, there are sometimes very different specifications circulating on the Internet. All standard sizes in our barcode generator are based on the specifications of the GS1 organization (see link above and further official source: PDF).

Standard Font: The generator also includes the OCR-B font recommended by the specification for EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A, UPC-E and ISBN-13 barcodes.

For other barcode properties, such as minimum left and right spacing (so-called quiet zones) and the length of the start and stop bars, the software accurately follows the specifications. Examples EAN-13 / ISBN-13:

Easy Transfer to Illustrator, InDesign and CorelDRAW

Defining Barcode Properties

Simply copy the barcode or drag it as a PDF or EPS file to a folder on your hard drive or into an application like Adobe Illustrator, Adobe InDesign or CorelDRAW. Alternatively, you can pin the program in a minimized version to a corner of your screen for easy use alongside these applications.

Generating Barcodes for a Specified Resolution

Barcode Generation

For barcode generation, the program adjusts the bar widths to match the resolution of the printer or printing technology used, always ensuring that the proportions within the barcode are preserved. This prevents undesired effects like aliasing and ensures optimal readability.

As a result, the program generates raster graphics at a specific, user-defined resolution. For vector formats, specifying a resolution is optional, especially when it is not available or is high enough to be considered negligible.

Pro Edition: Batch Mode, Serial Number, Barcode API

Our Barcode Generator is available in two editions: Standard and Pro. The Pro Edition introduces features that enable efficient and time-saving generation of multiple barcodes at once.

Generating multiple barcodes at once

1. Batch Mode: Alongside the ability to create individual barcodes, you can use the program to generate barcodes from a list of numbers. The program validates the numbers in real-time during input and marks them as valid or invalid accordingly. Numbers can easily be imported from any source via the clipboard.

Producing a Serial Number

2. Serial Number: Moreover, you have the option to generate a serial number directly, with definable start and end values, step size, suffix, and/or prefix. The program automatically calculates and adds any required check digits.

Barcode API

3. Barcode API: This feature enables the generation of high-quality barcodes from your own application, and can be accessed using any programming language. The API rapidly generates barcode graphics in the background and subsequently provides a status code regarding the outcome of the process.
