Style (readable text, bar height, export size)
Bar height stretches bars vertically, which scanners ignore (only horizontal timing matters). The SVG download keeps the engine's exact geometry.

Pros
- HIBC Code 39 tolerates industrial printers, labels and badge stock.
- Case folding, padding and check rules are explained before encoding.
- PNG and SVG exports cover both quick sharing and print.
- The self-verify readout shows exactly what a scanner will observe.
Cons
- HIBC Code 39 is wider per character than 2D codes for long payloads.
- Dense narrow bars demand close, steady photography when verifying.
- Damaged or smudged labels lose characters with no error correction.
- Colored or low-contrast prints scan poorly.
Form requirements

Is my data uploaded anywhere?
No. Encoding and verification run entirely in your browser — the page makes no network requests with your data, stores nothing, and wipes the field after ten idle minutes.
