<p className="text-slate-700 leading-relaxed">
A <strong>barcode generator</strong> is an online tool that converts a number or text string into a scannable barcode image (EAN-13, UPC-A, or Code 128). The generated barcode can be downloaded as PNG or SVG and printed on product labels, packaging, or inventory stickers for use with any standard barcode scanner.
