Barcode NextFEATURES
Everything you need to create, customize and produce professional barcodes.
Barcode Next brings barcode generation, validation, visual customization, batch workflows, vector export and label printing into one desktop application for macOS and Windows.
Lifetime licence · No subscription · macOS + Windows
BARCODE GENERATION
Work across retail, GS1, logistics and 2D barcode families.
Barcode Next supports a broad range of professional 1D and 2D symbologies in one application.
Choose the format that matches the workflow, then use the controls relevant to that barcode type rather than working through a one-size-fits-all generator.
- Retail and product codes
- General linear barcodes
- GS1-compatible formats
- Logistics and postal formats
- QR, Data Matrix, Aztec and PDF417
DATA & VALIDATION
Catch invalid data before it becomes final artwork.
Barcode types differ in accepted characters, lengths, check-digit rules and structured-data requirements.
Barcode Next validates the input against the selected symbology so problems can be identified before export or printing.
- Barcode-specific validation
- Length and character checks
- Check digit handling
- GS1 Application Identifier workflows where supported
PRECISION
Control the dimensions that affect real-world barcode output.
Barcode output is more than a preview image.
Barcode Next exposes size, layout and spacing controls so the generated symbol can be prepared intentionally for screen, print, packaging or label workflows.
- Output width and height
- Quiet-zone controls
- Padding and rotation
- Human-readable text options
CUSTOM QR
Go beyond a black square with full QR styling controls.
Barcode Next gives supported QR Codes a dedicated visual customization workflow rather than treating them as ordinary black-and-white matrix symbols.
Change module shapes, style finder patterns, choose colors, add a logo and keep error-correction settings visible while you work.
- Module shapes
- Finder outer and inner styling
- Foreground and background colors
- Logo placement and sizing
BATCH
Use one setup across an entire dataset.
When many records need the same barcode configuration, Barcode Next lets you work with the dataset as a batch instead of recreating the symbol one value at a time.
- CSV-oriented workflows
- Per-record preview
- Batch validation
- Multi-file export
EXPORT
Export barcode artwork for design, print and digital workflows.
Choose scalable vector artwork or fixed-resolution raster files depending on what happens after the barcode leaves Barcode Next.
- SVG, PDF and EPS
- PNG, JPEG and TIFF
- RGB and CMYK-oriented output
- Exact dimensions and resolution
LABEL PRINTING
Turn barcode records into complete printable label sheets.
Barcode Next combines barcode generation with a dedicated label-sheet workflow so the same records can move directly into a printable page layout.
- Label-sheet presets
- Custom rows, columns and spacing
- Multiple records
- QR Code labels
PRESETS
Save the setup instead of rebuilding it for every job.
Recurring barcode work often uses the same symbol type, appearance, dimensions and export settings.
Presets let those configurations be reused so repeated jobs start from a known setup rather than from scratch.
DESKTOP
A local desktop workflow for macOS and Windows.
Barcode Next runs as a desktop application and processes barcode data locally.
There is no Barcode Next account required for normal use, and barcode values, imported datasets, presets and generated files remain on your device unless you choose to save them somewhere that is synchronized by another service.
