Image format guide:
PNG – Lossless compression. Best for barcodes, QR codes, logos, and images with sharp edges or transparency. Larger file size but maximum clarity.
JPEG (JPG) – Lossy compression. Good for photos and complex images with gradients. Smaller files, but not ideal for barcodes or text due to compression artifacts.
WebP – Modern format with superior compression. Supports both lossy and lossless modes, often producing smaller files than PNG or JPEG at similar quality. Good general-purpose choice.
SVG – Vector format (not pixel-based). Infinitely scalable with no quality loss. Ideal for QR codes, logos, and graphics that need to resize perfectly. Very small file size for simple graphics.

The shipping industry, blood bank, and libraries use Codabar barcode a lot. It suggests the minimum width of a Codabar to be 0.0065 inches (0.165 mm), or 11 digits per inch.
Codabar encodes 10 digits, dollar sign, hyphen, period, slash, colon, plus. Codabar needs start and stop characters. Start and stop characters are mapped to A, B, C, and D.
Codabar is a self-checking barcode symbology and does NOT need a check digit.
