How ISBN Barcodes Work

An ISBN barcode is a machine-readable representation of your book's International Standard Book Number. It uses the Bookland EAN format — a specialised version of the EAN-13 barcode standard used worldwide for retail products.

The barcode consists of two parts: the main EAN-13 barcode encoding your 13-digit ISBN, and an optional EAN-5 add-onencoding the recommended retail price. The first digit of the EAN-5 indicates the currency: 5 for USD, 4 for GBP, 6 for CAD. The code 90000 means “no price” and is used when price varies by retailer.

Every barcode includes a check digit (the last digit of the ISBN-13) calculated using a modulo-10 algorithm. This allows scanners to detect read errors instantly. Our generator validates your ISBN and calculates the correct check digit automatically.
