Why generate barcodes inside Illustrator?

Vector, print-ready output

Barcodes export as SVG — resolution-independent vector output for packaging and press artwork, with automatic check digits that help produce correctly validated, scannable barcodes.

Batch from Excel or CSV

Point the extension at a spreadsheet and generate hundreds of barcodes at once — perfect for product labels, tickets, and inventory.

Fully offline

Works standalone after activation. Barcode generation happens locally on your computer — your artwork never leaves your machine.

Export in one click

Save as SVG for print, or JPG, PNG, and WEBP (WEBP in Photoshop) for web and social. Pick any combination and everything is created at once.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a free barcode plugin for Illustrator?

Free online generators exist, but they force you out of Illustrator and usually output raster images. All Barcode Generator is a one-time-payment CEP extension that creates vector, print-ready barcodes directly inside your document.

Does it work with the latest Illustrator?

Yes. It is built with Adobe CEP for Illustrator CC 2015 and later, including current versions, on Windows and macOS.

Are the barcodes print-ready for packaging?

Yes. Barcodes export as resolution-independent SVG vectors. The built-in BWIPP engine calculates check digits automatically, so codes use the correct format and scan reliably at retail checkout.

Can I generate barcodes in bulk from a spreadsheet?

Yes. The Batch feature reads Excel XLSX/XLS, ODS, CSV, or TSV files and generates one barcode per row, saved to your chosen output folder with per-row filenames.

Do I need an internet connection?

After activation, the plugin works offline with a 30-day license re-verification grace period. Your barcode data and document contents never leave your computer.

One-time payment. Lifetime updates.

No subscriptions, no hidden costs. Works in Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign on Windows and macOS.
