Barcode Generator

Generators REST API MCP

Generate a 1D barcode as an SVG string from text. Supports CODE128 (any printable ASCII) and CODE39 (A-Z, 0-9, space, -.$/+%); EAN13, EAN8 and UPC inputs are digit-validated and drawn with the CODE128 symbology, exactly like the web page. Returns the SVG, the bar/space bit pattern, and the image size.
