BarCoder

BarCoder is a small software application whose purpose is to help you create, print, and save barcodes using a set of straightforward actions. You may deploy it on all Windows versions out there.

You can take advantage of the tool’s portable running mode and keep it stored on pen drives or other portable devices to have it with you all the time. You may run it without administrative privileges.

A double-click on the executable file is sufficient for getting access to the program's GUI because no installation process is included in the process. No registry entries are written to your Windows registry and no configuration files are left in the host system so you may appeal to a quick deletion task in order to remove the utility from your computer.

BarCoder reveals a clean and intuitive layout that includes only a few configuration settings. A help manual is not comprised in the package, but you can set up the dedicated parameters on your own because they look easy to work with.

The application offers you the possibility to preview the generated barcode directly in the main window. Plus, you are allowed to insert the target number in the barcode and choose between several barcode types, namely UPC-A , 39 (with or without captions), 128 (with or without captions), EAN13, and EAN8.

What’s more, you can copy the barcode to the clipboard so you can quickly paste it into other third-party programs, export the image to BMP, PNG, TIFF, or JPG file format, as well as adjust the size of the barcode with the aid of the built-in sliders. The tool comes with support for a built-in 39 barcode reader and lets you work with an external barcode scanner (serial/USB).

Tests have pointed out that BarCoder carries out a task quickly and without errors. It does not eat up a lot of CPU and memory resources so the overall performance of the system is not hampered.

To sum things up, BarCoder comes packed with several simple features for helping you generate barcodes, and can be tweaked by rookies and professionals alike.
