How to generate barcodes from Excel or CSV

Export a single column of SKUs or GTINs, validate rows, skip invalid values, and download a ZIP of PNG barcodes for print or packaging.

One clean column beats a messy sheet

Put the encode value in the first column (SKU, GTIN, or carton ID). Export CSV or copy/paste from Excel — tab-separated paste works the same way.

Inkode’s bulk barcode generator validates each row against the selected format and shows which lines fail before you print.

Free caps vs workspace jobs

Anonymous bulk ZIP is capped for abuse protection. Sign in for larger import batches, revert, label PDFs, and saved templates tied to your catalog.
