pybarcodes

This is a Python package to create barcodes. You can create file-like objects, text files and images from just a barcode number. Image generation is fast so it can be used to create images in bulk.

Supported Barcode Types

EAN13
EAN8
EAN14
JAN
CODE39

More types will soon be supported. PRs are welcome :)

Installing

Python 3.10 or higher is required

To install the library you can run the following command:

pip install pybarcodes

Quick Example

You can see what barcodes are supported

>>> import pybarcodes
>>> pybarcodes.SUPPORTED_BARCODES
['EAN13', 'EAN8', 'EAN14', 'JAN', 'CODE39']

And you can use this to view the barcode that was generated:

from pybarcodes import EAN13

CODE = "012345678905"
barcode = EAN13(CODE)
barcode.show()

This is pretty much all the code you need to generate a barcode.

Saving an image of the barcode is pretty straightforward.

from pybarcodes import EAN14

barcode = EAN14("40700719670720")

# Saves the image in PNG format
barcode.save("myimage.png")

# You can also resize it.
barcode.save("myimage2.png", size=(100000, 1000000))

EAN13 output from example 2:
