GS1 Digital Link

The barcode you already have, turned into a QR code that tells your product’s story.

A GS1 Digital Link is your usual barcode written as a web address: whoever scans it with a phone lands on your product’s page, in their language. Compose it here and download it.

No account, no email, no card.

Manual entry

Type the number already printed under the barcode.

8, 12, 13 or 14 digits. Include leading zeros if there are any.

Point at the barcode

Use the barcode on the retail unit: EAN-13, UPC-A or EAN-8. The one on the outer case (ITF-14) is not read here.

Looking for a barcode…

Camera images never leave this device. They are read right here, uploaded nowhere, and not a single frame is stored.

Add the product page

Do you want this code to lead to a product page?

Add what whoever scans it will see. All optional: without any of it, the code still resolves.

AI (10). Up to 20 characters.

AI (21). Up to 20 characters.

The passport

What whoever scans the code will see. All optional: without any of this, the code still resolves.

The one on the packaging.

The commercial brand it is sold under.

Supports **bold**, *italics* and lists.

Links

The destinations tapped from the passport. The type comes from the GS1 vocabulary; the button text is yours, in your language.

Why now: Sunrise 2027

GS1 has set the end of 2027 for points of sale worldwide to read 2D codes alongside the usual linear barcode.

  • If you export or sell to an international chain, the deadline comes from your buyer, not from us.
  • If you only sell at home, the deadline does not bind you yet — but the QR code is already the only direct channel to the shopper that fits on your packaging.

You do not remove your barcode

During the transition both go on the same pack: the linear one still goes through the till, and the Digital Link QR adds the rest. This generator does not replace your EAN or UPC.

Where your prefix comes from

Your prefix comes from the GS1 organisation in your country; in Venezuela, GS1 Venezuela. If you do not have yours yet, we guide you through getting it.

  • If you already have your GTINs, you can start right now: type one above and take the code.
  • If you do not, this generator still lets you try — the code works and expires after 30 days.
  • To print on packaging that goes on sale, the GTIN has to be genuinely yours: we publish only under accredited prefixes.

What a GS1 Digital Link is

GS1 defines the barcodes of world trade. Digital Link is its standard for writing that same identifier as a web address, so any phone can read it without a special app.

  • The same GTIN you already have: nothing to renumber.
  • One code on the pack serves the shopper, traceability and the point of sale.
  • The address is readable and auditable: every segment says what it means.
  • It works in any QR reader: nothing to install.

See it working

Scan this code with your phone camera. No app needed: it takes you to the published passport of a product from our demonstration catalogue.

Alimentos Tepuy is our own demonstration product, not a customer.

How it works

01

You compose the address

The GTIN, plus batch and serial if you want them. The check digit is verified right here — that is the mistake with no repair once it is printed.

02

You take the code

PNG to paste into an email, SVG to send to print without losing sharpness at any size.

03

You publish the passport

With an account you load ingredients, allergens, origin and certificates. The same printed code then leads there, in four languages.

Plans

You pay on publishing, not on signing up. You can create the account, load your catalogue and see it whole before deciding anything.

  • Free plan: 5 published products, with unlimited scans.
  • No expiry: printed packaging keeps resolving even if you stop paying.
  • Venezuelan companies pay from an account abroad.
