Understanding GTIN & Barcode Types

What is a GTIN (Global Trade Item Number)?

GTIN is the universal standard for product identification managed by GS1. It's an umbrella term that includes UPC, EAN, and ITF-14 barcodes. When you see GTIN-12, GTIN-13, or GTIN-14, they refer to the number of digits in the code. All retail barcodes (UPC-A, EAN-13, etc.) are types of GTINs. Amazon, Google Shopping, eBay, and major retailers require GTINs for product listings.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between UPC, EAN, and GTIN?

GTIN (Global Trade Item Number) is the umbrella term for all product identification numbers. UPC-A is a GTIN-12 (12 digits) used in North America. EAN-13 is a GTIN-13 (13 digits) used internationally. They're compatible - a UPC can be converted to EAN-13 by adding a leading zero.

Which barcode type should I use for Amazon?

For Amazon US, use UPC-A (GTIN-12). For Amazon EU/UK, use EAN-13 (GTIN-13). Amazon accepts both formats as they're interchangeable GTINs. For case packs, you may also need ITF-14 (GTIN-14) barcodes.

What's the difference between QR Code, PDF417, and Data Matrix?

QR Codes are square and best for smartphone scanning (URLs, marketing). PDF417 is rectangular/stacked and used for IDs and documents. Data Matrix is compact and used for small items like electronics. All three are 2D barcodes that store more data than traditional 1D barcodes.

How many barcodes can I generate at once?

You can generate up to 100 barcodes at once using the Bulk mode. Enter one value per line in the text area, then click Generate. All barcodes can be downloaded as a ZIP file.

Can I use these barcodes commercially?

The barcode images are free to use. However, for retail products, you need to own or license the UPC/EAN/GTIN numbers. You can purchase legitimate UPC codes from BarCodesTalk.com - we've sold over 200 million barcodes worldwide.
