About isbn barcode generator
Books carry an ISBN, and retailers scan it as an EAN-13 barcode. This tool turns a 10 or 13-digit ISBN into that barcode.
ISBN-10 and ISBN-13
Books published since 2007 use a 13-digit ISBN starting 978 or 979. Older books have 10 digits. An ISBN-10 is converted by adding 978 in front and recalculating the final check digit.
Use your own ISBN
An ISBN is issued to the publisher by the national ISBN agency. The barcode must match the number assigned to that edition, and the cover needs the barcode and the number printed beneath it.
Print checklist
- Keep a clear white margin around the bars.
- Print at 100% of the intended size or larger, never shrink below the specification.
- Scan a proof copy before ordering a full print run.
