ISBN Barcode Generator — free online

Self-publishing a book? At some point you need that barcode for the back cover, and the usual sites want money or an email before they hand it over. We added a free tool that makes it for you — ISBN Barcode Generator — right in your browser.

What it does

You type in your ISBN-10 or ISBN-13 and it draws a clean, print-ready EAN-13 book barcode. If your book has a price, you can add the optional 5-digit price supplement so the small extra bars show up next to the main code. When it looks right, download it as a high-resolution PNG that's sharp enough for the printer.

Nothing leaves your device

The whole thing runs in your browser. Your ISBN and the barcode image stay on your computer — nothing is uploaded to a server and nothing is saved. Close the tab and it's gone.

How to use it

  1. Open ISBN Barcode Generator and type your ISBN-10 or ISBN-13.
  2. If you want, add the 5-digit price supplement.
  3. Download the high-res PNG and drop it onto your cover.

It's free with no limit. There are more small tools on the Apps page.
