Barcode Generator vs TEC-IT Barcode Generator
Both generate barcodes (EAN, Code 128, Code 39, UPC and more) for free with no account for basic use. TEC-IT's generator supports a huge range of symbologies; Gera Tools' generator renders common barcodes in your browser so your data is never uploaded.
TEC-IT is the broader generator, especially for 2D and unusual symbologies. For common 1D barcodes (EAN/UPC/Code 128/Code 39) rendered entirely in your browser, Gera Tools' generator keeps the encoded data on your device.
