How it works

1. Type your 13-digit ISBN (a valid 10-digit ISBN is converted for you).

3. Check the preview, then download the SVG for your cover software or a 600 DPI PNG.

Questions

Does this tool assign an ISBN?

No. It draws the barcode for an ISBN you already own. ISBNs come from your national ISBN agency (Bowker in the US) or from your printer or distributor.

What is the 5-digit add-on?

It is a small second barcode that carries the suggested retail price. The first digit is the currency (5 for US dollars) and the next four are the price, so 51499 means $14.99. 90000 means no price is encoded.

Do I need a barcode for KDP paperbacks?

KDP can add a barcode for you when you use its cover template, or you can place your own. Check the current KDP cover guidelines for the barcode area and size before you upload.

Is anything uploaded?

No. The barcode is generated in your browser. Your ISBN is not sent to our server.

What size should I print it?

The standard EAN-13 symbol is about 37 x 26 mm at 100% size. Many printers accept 80% to 100%. Keep dark bars on a light, plain background and do not stretch it.
