UPC/EAN Barcode Web Service

UPC/EAN (Universal Product Code / European Article Numbering) is probably the most widespread barcoding system for product identification. EAN codes (8 and 13 digit) are used in all European countries, UPC codes (8 and 12 digit) are more common in North America. The encoding scheme for both barcode types is the same (12-digit UPC is a subset of 13-digit EAN). These barcodes can carry numeric information only. The generator supports EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A, and UPC-E barcodes, including checksum generation. You can explicitly set the barcode type or just select "auto" and the generator will deduce the type from the digits input.
