## Overview
Generate, customize, batch print, and scan over 20 standard 1D and 2D barcode symbologies, including QR Code, GS1-128, EAN-13, Code 128, DataMatrix, and PDF417. Fully offline with zero data tracking.

## Format Specifications
- **Category:** Media & Images
- **Supported Formats:** `QR`, `Code 128`, `GS1-128`, `ITF-14`, `Data Matrix`, `PDF417`, `EAN-13`, `UPC-A`
- **Privacy Guarantee:** 0 bytes uploaded to remote servers. All computation executes locally in browser memory.
- **Compliance:** GDPR, HIPAA & SOC 2 Friendly (process sensitive payloads and PII directly on your local device).

## Technology Stack
- bwip-js Vector Barcode Engine
- @zxing/library Computer Vision Scanner
- SVG & Canvas Rasterizers
- Batch Sheet Grid Engine

## How It Works
1. Barcode symbology rules and checksum algorithms calculate locally using bwip-js.
2. Vector SVG elements render cleanly at arbitrary print DPI without pixelation.
3. Batch mode arranges multiple barcodes into standardized Avery label sheet grids for warehouse printing.
4. The camera and image scanner uses ZXing computer vision to decode barcodes directly from your webcam or uploaded photos.

## Practical Use Cases
### Warehouse & Logistics Pallet Labeling
Generate GS1-128 shipping container codes (SSCC) and DataMatrix labels for logistics tracking.

### Retail Product Barcoding
Create UPC-A and EAN-13 barcodes with accurate check digits for retail packaging and merchandise tags.

### Secure Wi-Fi & Contact QR Sharing
Create Wi-Fi access QR codes and vCards without transmitting company credentials to third-party QR generators.

### Batch Asset Tag Generation
Generate hundreds of sequential equipment tracking barcodes for immediate printing on adhesive label stock.

## Frequently Asked Questions
### Are generated QR codes permanent or do they expire?
They are 100% permanent static barcodes. Unlike commercial 'dynamic' QR services that route through tracking redirect URLs and expire, our barcodes encode raw data directly into the symbology.

### Can I export barcodes in vector format for professional printing?
Yes. You can export crystal-clear vector SVG files for Illustrator and print workflows, or high-DPI raster PNGs.

### Does camera scanning require sending video frames to a server?
No. Video frames from your webcam are processed frame-by-frame entirely on your device via ZXing computer vision algorithms.
