About
Transform ordinary barcode data into artistic, scannable SVG designs with unique visual styles. Turn functional barcodes into custom masterpieces while maintaining scanner compatibility.
What it does
BARKOD's site describes a free, browser-based generator that clips standard retail and tracking barcodes into decorative silhouettes such as skulls, sharks and pizza slices. The bottom band of each shape is left untouched so scanners can still read it, and the result downloads as a vector file. It does not issue GS1 numbers.
