IBE Barcode Generator

The label-making half of IBE Barcode Studio: a from-scratch, open-source recreation of the classic Windows program, rebuilt as a cross-platform desktop app and a web app that runs entirely in your browser. Every encoder is custom-written — the project uses no third-party barcode library. Free, MIT licensed, no registration code.

Two ways to run it

Desktop (Avalonia, MVVM): Windows x64/x86, Linux x64, macOS x64 and macOS ARM64 — portable archives plus installers (MSI / dmg / deb)
Web (Blazor WebAssembly): the same live preview and PDF export, running fully client-side — nothing is uploaded anywhere

Label production

Live barcode preview as you type
Paper-template label sheets from a catalog of real-world layouts (Avery 5160, 5161, 5163, …)
PDF export that works identically on desktop and in the browser
Print up to 1000 sequential labels, as the classic edition did

Build it yourself

git clone https://github.com/bobhuang1/IBEBarcodeGenerator.git
cd IBEBarcodeGenerator
dotnet build
dotnet test
dotnet run --project src/IBEBarcode.Desktop   # desktop app
dotnet run --project src/IBEBarcode.Web       # web app

Requires the .NET SDK; the web app additionally needs the wasm-tools workload for SkiaSharp under WebAssembly. Full instructions are in the README.
