7 min readGenerate consistent SKU codes in bulk from a custom pattern, with variant permutations, sequential numbering and collision checking. Free, no sign-up.
Convert product codes between GTIN-8, GTIN-12 (UPC-A), GTIN-13 (EAN-13) and GTIN-14, validate check digits, and normalise a whole catalog in bulk.
Check a product CSV for missing columns, broken variant handles, duplicate SKUs, invalid barcodes and bad prices before you import it.
