ByteScout Cloud API for Zapier - this new app is an integration of ByteScout tools and Zapier. It allows you to:
Recently ByteScout launched web apps that work directly in your browser. They perform daily developer tasks smoothly and in no time. Here are some of them: Payment Reminders Generator, To Do List planner, Synonyms Finder, JSON Formatter, Lines Sorting tool and more.
PDF.co is an online tool that allows you to:
PDF Extractor SDK is a fantastic tool that extracts text from PDF, extracts embedded images, metadata, enables text search with regular expressions, repairs damaged images, converts PDF to CSV, Excel, and XML, has OCR functionalities, merges and splits PDF files and much more.
Text Recognition SDK is a new ByteScout tool that allows reading and extracting text from scanned graphic and PDF documents. OCR improved filters help to recognize and to locate any searchable text.
Works well. Despite what others say, it does do lossless formats like .png. The only reason for .svg is for scaleabilty (say to print very large barcodes), but there is a tab where you can set all of this to begin with. So it is not much of an inconvenience.
Suggestion to ByteScout - Yes, implement the other formats suggested, like .svg. But since you have a setting for dpi - Why not also have a setting for the size of the sticker? That way with size of sticker/area to be printed in and margins/dpi. A perfect image can be produced every time.
Many of the barcodes are quite special, like ISBN and the German Post Office's version of area codes. So perhaps a little guide to where these codes would be used? Say for instance I am trying to put my personal website as a code (printed large) on a T-Shirt. Which would be the be best to use, just a QR code, or some other? (Incidentally, having the ability to set error-correction level for QR codes is pretty wonderful). This is without doubt the most "universal" barcode generator I have seen so far.
Setting QR codes can be great fun for your hobbies. Say point your phone at a draw or box, and know instantly what is in there. Like specific switches if you are into electronics. Collectable cards, by year, level, type or however you want to categorize things. The biggest problem for me is thinking of all the different uses. Some of the Brother "Dymo label" type printers can connect direct to your computer to print out codes on colored self-adhesive tape for outside use. Also property identification, plant identification for gardeners, even now iron-on clothes label tapes.

Because of the Setup.gcd wrapper file, I can't install the program even when Avast Antivirus is disabled.

Give me some examples of the usefulness to home users being able to generate bar codes with this software.
In what situations it is crucial or useful or good to have or not useful at all in the next 30 years.
In business, yes if you run a mini supermart and sell 5,000 different items to be priced using bar code.

I use this and its a free online generator. https://www.barcodesinc.com/generator/index.php

Not wishing to appear negative but dare I ask the question?
Is this just for business use as I cant imagine a use for it otherwise
But perhaps someone will be kind enough to explain how?

Doesn't seem to support images inside QR-codes. Too bad. Else, it seems it's a powerful tool.

Works a treat. MS Smartscreen blocked it on several attempts to install before I figured it out (after trying switching off AV first). Great programme with lots of options and a clear user interface with descriptions of each barcode and what you can/can't include in each generated code. Useful 'save barcode to file button' and options to Batch generate from list/template/copy to clipboard.
Thank you ByteScout and GiveAwayoftheDay.

'great program with lots of options'
Intend to use barcodes at home a lot? Have you a barcode reader?

Criosdean, next time always right click on downloaded zip file and select properties and then choose unblock near the bottom of the panel before you "extract all" the contents of the zip file. Windows Defender in WIndows 10 tends to err on the side of caution on all downloads from the internet and either blocks them or the contents of the zip files as they inherit the blocked or unblocked status.

Chris, Yes and yes.

Criosdean,
If so, why not just use a free Windows font? (https://www.barcodesinc.com/free-barcode-font/) This can be used in any application, report, spreadsheet, etc.
I also write bespoke database applications - you need to get in touch, buddy! ;)

Too little information here and on their website to allow you to work out if this is any good or what its features are.

Dennis,
So try it.

Great barcode generator, but missing SVG, EPS export for printing, maybe PDF and AI too..
Rasterized formats in 2020 is useless for printing jobs. When will add these formats?

"Rasterized formats in 2020 is useless for printing jobs"
Not if you print them at the correct size. If you're slapping them on a report or something.
I can't think of many scenarios where they'd be useful for the average home user though.

Mike, check out the free software Inkscape if you need more control over output size and format etc, it creates barcodes and QR codes easily. If you haven't used it before, it's like Adobe Illustrator, really good design software.

Mike, since the VAST majority of barcodes comprise of linear vertical or horizontal edges with NO diagonals it is not a problem upscaling the images since there will be no pixelisation unless you anti-alias or smooth the generated images in the final print process after you've added it to the packaging design. You can in addition specify the exact pixel dimensions you require for the generated graphic if you are concerned the final print process will not upscale without corrupting the barcode in some manner. by the way ever tried importing a PDF document or an AI or EPS into a package design application for just a component object? It is much easier to import a TIF or PNG or GIF files contents either directly or via windows clipboard.

DawkinsDog, Just found out latest Inkscape 1.0 no longer runs on Vista or Server 2008, requiring Windows 7 or better. 0.92 runs ok under Vista though

TK, I made a few book cover, and there is need ISBN code what is vector base for press. This is requirement, and I generate EPS code here on web:
https://www.free-barcode-generator.net/isbn/
Just if this website will close, need same solution, like installed software. Pixel version ok, but if need resize, then need regenerate code to correct pixel, but when I use vector, then will no problem for press. Clipboard is no problem for me, I use Affinity for editing.

Mike, there are other online ISBN bar code generators also there is at least one offline product... the one I just installed and tried is shareware $28 to buy but using Adobe Illustrator CS2 one can edit the red colour of the characters rendered in the trial to black if you cannot afford the $28... https://download.cnet.com/ISBN-Barcode-Generator-2/3000-2064_4-75678849.html
