About the EAN-8 Barcode Generator

EAN-8 is the short, 8-digit retail barcode designed for small packages where a full EAN-13 simply will not fit — think chewing gum, cosmetics, or small confectionery. Enter your first 7 digits and the final check digit is calculated automatically. Everything renders in your browser, and you can download a vector SVG that stays crisp at any print size or a PNG for on-screen use.

Frequently asked questions

How many digits does an EAN-8 barcode need?

Enter 7 digits — the 8th is a check digit that is calculated and appended for you automatically.

When should I use EAN-8 instead of EAN-13?

EAN-8 is reserved for small products where an EAN-13 barcode would be too large to fit or read reliably. For most products, use EAN-13; use EAN-8 only for compact packaging.

Is it free and private?

Yes. It is free with no sign-up, and the barcode is drawn on your device — nothing is uploaded.
