.NET, Java, COM, DLL, shared library, command line or web service — the same engine behind each.
For Developers
Barcodes and labels, from your code.
.NET, Java, COM, command line and web service — on Windows, Linux and UNIX.
TEC-IT barcode and label components fit into the software you already build. Generate a barcode, render an approved label or send output to a printer without asking users to leave your workflow.
Barcode generation looks trivial until the first customer rejects a symbol.
Build proven barcode generation into your application.
The open-source library encodes the digits but not the FNC1. The check digit is right for GTIN-13 and wrong for GTIN-14. The symbol renders beautifully at 300 dpi and turns to mush on a 203 dpi thermal printer. Then a customer asks for GS1 DataMatrix, and for ZPL output, and for it to run on Linux. TEC-IT's engine has answered those questions for thirty years — and licenses so you can ship it inside your own product.
Generate or print
Return a barcode as vector or bitmap, or drive a full label layout to printer, PDF or native ZPL-II.
Ship it
OEM and redistribution licensing lets you embed TEC-IT components in the product you sell.
Choose how you integrate.
SDKs and APIs for barcode generation and label output.
Use a local SDK
Call TEC-IT components from .NET, COM, C/C++, Java or the command line inside your own application.
Call an HTTP API
Use TBarCode API when your application needs a barcode image over HTTP instead of a local component.
Automate label output
Use TFORMer SDK or API to bind business data to an approved layout and produce printer, PDF or ZPL output.

Fit the deployment
Use a local component for in-process generation or an HTTP API when a web service better suits your stack.
Keep formats consistent
Reuse the same symbology settings or approved label layout across development and production.
License for your model
Choose deployment, server or OEM licensing based on how your customers use the software.

Frequently asked questions
Learn more about Embed Barcodes & Labels.
How do we generate a barcode from a web application?
Call the HTTP endpoint with the data and symbology as parameters and receive an image, or reference the SDK if you prefer to generate in-process. Both produce identical symbols.
Can we run it entirely on our own servers?
Yes. For regulated, air-gapped or data-residency-bound environments, TBarCode SDK and TBarCode/X run the engine on your infrastructure with no outbound calls.
Which output formats are available?
Raster (PNG, BMP, JPG, TIF) and vector (SVG, EPS, PDF, PostScript). Vector output matters when the code will be scaled or printed at high resolution.
Is the hosted generator suitable for production use?
The free hosted service is intended for testing and low-volume use, and commercial use requires an agreement. Production systems normally run the engine locally or under a commercial API plan.
