Free, local-first barcode generator (No server uploads)

3•BarcodX•2h ago
Hi HN,

I’m the developer behind BarcodX (https://barcodx.com). I built this to solve a recurring headache I saw with small businesses and e-commerce sellers trying to print inventory labels.

The current landscape for generating bulk barcodes (like Code 128 or FNSKU labels for Amazon) is pretty bad. You either have to pay a hefty monthly subscription for enterprise software (like BarTender), or you have to use free online generators that force you to upload your sensitive CSV inventory/customer data to their servers.

I wanted to build a "local-first" alternative.

BarcodX is a bulk barcode generator and visual label designer where 100% of the data processing happens client-side in your browser. You can upload a CSV with thousands of rows, map your fields to a drag-and-drop label template, and export a printable PDF. Because it all runs locally using standard web APIs, it’s fast, and your data never touches an external server.

It currently supports standard formats like Code 128, UPC, EAN, and QR codes. It is completely free, and there is no sign-up required to try it out here: https://barcodx.com

I’d love to get your feedback on the UX, the label designer, or any edge-case barcode formats I should add next. Happy to answer any technical questions!
