Barcodes 1D

Barcode generator written in PHP for encoding and rendering most common barcode formats to multiple image output formats.

Features

Supports most common barcode formats (Code128, EAN, UPC, ...)
Can render to SVG, PNG, JPG or WEBP using GD
Images (PNG/JPG/WEBP) may be configured to scale up to any size
Supports common customization requirements (size, color, text display, font size, background color, font for image rendering, or format-specific options such as guard bars or quiet zones)

Supported barcodes

Format	Variations
Code 128	Auto-Mode and forced A/B/C
EAN	EAN-2 / EAN-5 / EAN-8 / EAN-13
UPC	UPC-A / UPC-E
MSI	Mod10, Mod11, Mod1010, Mod1110

Installation

Install the package via composer:

composer require antwerpes/barcodes-1d

Usage

Use the Barcodes factory class to create an encoder and render its output to SVG or a base64-encoded image:

use Antwerpes\Barcodes\Barcodes;
use Antwerpes\Barcodes\Enumerators\Format;

// SVG
$svg = Barcodes::create('12345678', Format::CODE_128);
file_put_contents('img.svg', $svg);

// Or as an image
$image = Barcodes::create('12345678', Format::CODE_128, 'png');
file_put_contents('img.png', base64_decode($image));

// Example for scaled up (4x) WEBP
$image = Barcodes::create('12345678', Format::CODE_128, 'webp', [
    'image_scale' => 4,
]);
file_put_contents('img.webp', base64_decode($image));
