How it works
EAN-13 uses thirteen digits, where the last digit validates the first twelve. The barcode consists of a fixed 95-module pattern plus quiet margins.
This tool draws a barcode but does not issue licensed product numbers. For retail use, check GS1 requirements and test that printed labels scan correctly.
Frequently asked questions
Is the number automatically registered for retail products?
No. The tool does not issue or register official GTIN identifiers.
Which file can I download?
An SVG image, which can be resized and should be tested with a scanner before printing.
EAN-13 check digits and product identifiers
EAN-13 encodes 13 decimal digits, including a final check digit. Enter 12 digits to let the tool calculate the check digit, or 13 digits to validate an existing number. The resulting SVG barcode is generated in the browser.
Creating a graphic does not allocate a registered GTIN or establish any product ownership. For commercial product identification, follow the applicable GS1 registration and number assignment rules before using a barcode.
