Our barcode software for Mac OS X / macOS (including Catalina) creates all common linear bar code symbologies. Barcodes can be saved as vector or bitmap files. It also includes specialist functionality that print professionals need including bar width reduction (bwr), code scaling and vector (EPS) output. These features are absent from other font-based mac barcode software and traditionally you had to pay heavily for them in professional barcode generators. Barcode Basics provides cost effective access to these barcode generation features for a fraction of the cost.

As well as vector formats required for commercial printing, Barcode Basics can also generate barcodes in formats such as JPG, GIF, PNG and BMP at high resolution. These are ideal formats for use in apps such as Microsoft Office, Keynote etc.

Barcode Basics supports both metric and imperial units.
