Barcode Generator

In a world in which commercial products are created in a staggering amount by the minute, it can become a pain to keep track of them. However, this gave birth to barcodes, which are a sort of personal ID cards for things. These can also be created on a computer, but you need specialized applications like Barcode Generator.

The application was built on the .NET Framework structure, so you need to make sure it is among the things that’s installed on the computer you want to use it on. On the other hand, you can risk giving it a shot directly, because modern Windows iterations come with the component as a default feature.

All features are kept in a pretty compact main window, but this is an advantage, since it gives you the possibility to easily get acquainted with all it has to offer. There’s a central preview area that constantly updates as you make changes, and different input fields and drop-down menus in order to configure how the barcode to be shown, and what to contain.

The first step might be to choose the barcode style you want or need to create, and the list of available options includes Plessey, codabar, code39, code128, variations of EAN, UPC, ISBN, MSI, telepen, and more. However, the popular QR type is not included, which has a significant impact on overall practicality.

Other options are dedicated to the visual design of the barcode, but there aren’t any options related to color. You need to create a general idea of how it looks in size, because the preview area fails to fulfill this task. Moreover, you first need to save it to file, and then have it printed out, with no option to create a consecutive layout for batch processing.

Taking everything into consideration ,we can say that Barcode Generator doesn’t bring anything new on the market, and the features it comes equipped with leave a lot more to be desired. Although you quickly get acquainted with what it has to offer, there’s little variety, with poor preview, and no support for QR codes.
