Inconsistent Number Sizes in Barcodes Based on Output File Type

Hello, when generating barcodes through the site:

We usually create UPC barcodes and would like to produce reliably, .svg barcodes. The issue is in the preview, the barcode numbers look large and fine on the website preview, but when the actual .svg file is opened to inspect it in something like Adobe Illustrator, the numbers have shrunk and appear small:

Web preview numbers appear much larger:

The work-around is we’ve decided to output with Large setting and .PNG filetype but would prefer the vector quality of SVGs. How can this be resolved?

The size of the numbers in an SVG barcode can vary because they are rendered as text and depend on the specific font used. We’re working on using curves instead of text for more consistent sizing. And we will soon deploy a fix for this issue.

Hello @Belwith_Marketing !
We’ve updated how numbers render in SVG to be fully font-independent, ensuring their size and position stay consistent. Please give it a try!
