Bulk QR code and barcode generator

Paste your list and get a named code for every row. Up to 500 a batch, free with no account.

Or barcodes: EAN-13, UPC-A, Code 128 and more.

What is in your list?

One web address per row.

Static or dynamic?

A kind column in your file decides row by row; rows left blank follow this choice.

The template's columns are label, value and kind.

Name each row, like Table 4, https://example.com/table-1. The name becomes the file name now and the label you search for later.

QR codes from an Excel list

  1. Copy two columns. Names, then links. Each row becomes a code named after its first cell, and a heading row like Name, Link is skipped.
  2. Generate. Every code shows in the preview. Rows that can’t become a code are listed with the reason, and the rest go ahead.
  3. Download. PNG or SVG, numbered and named from the row: 1-Table-4.png, cut at 40 characters. Product rows are named by their GTIN. More than 8 files come as one ZIP.

Bulk barcodes, every check digit checked

Switch the tool to Barcodes for 12 types, from EAN-13 and UPC-A to Code 128 and GS1 DataMatrix, 500 a batch. Every row gets a verdict before anything is drawn:

  • Error, with the row number: Row 14: the check digit should be 7, not 2. That row is left out.
  • Fixed: one digit short, so the check digit was added. One click undoes it.
  • Repeat: marked and kept, since twenty labels for one product is normal.

PNG at 4 or 8 pixels a bar, about 308 or 616 dpi at EAN’s standard size · SVG, vector. Pick which column names the files and what prints under the bars. The ZIP has a report.csv with each row’s status.

A QR code in every Excel cell

Put this in B2 and fill it down. Every row gets a code for what’s in column A.

  • Needs IMAGE() and ENCODEURL(), as in Excel for Microsoft 365 on Windows. Google Sheets takes the same formula.
  • 240 codes an hour, shared by your network. For longer lists, paste them into the tool above instead.
  • Static codes: they can’t be changed later, and scans aren’t counted.

Skipped rows, before anything is made

Nine rows pasted, seven codes to make. The two that can’t be used are listed with the reason, and you can download them to fix.

The import preview after pasting nine café tables: the seven codes it will make, each with its line, name and link, and under them the two rows that will be skipped - one with no link, one whose link is not a web address - with a button to download the list.

Bulk QR codes, answered

Can I generate QR codes from an Excel file?

Not from the .xlsx itself. Copy the columns and paste them, or save the sheet as CSV and upload that. Commas, tabs and semicolons all read.

How many QR codes can I make at once?

500 static codes a batch, free. A paste is read to 1,000 rows, so send the rest as a second batch. Starter and up import a 1,000-row file in one go.

Is my list uploaded?

No, not the static rows: they’re drawn in your browser. Dynamic rows are sent only when you press Continue, and we keep them for a day so they’re waiting in the importer.

Which barcode numbers get a missing check digit added?

Only numbers exactly one digit short: EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A, ITF-14, ISBN, or a GTIN after (01). A wrong check digit is never replaced, and one click undoes every fix.

How do I put the codes into a mail merge or print run?

Add a column with each row’s file name, with the folder in front. In InDesign’s Data Merge, start that column’s heading with @ and every record gets its own code.

Can I shorten a column of links without QR codes?

Yes, in the importer. Tick “Send me the short links as a spreadsheet” and a file of long links comes back as short ones, each one editable and counted.
