ISBN Barcode Generator (EAN-13 + Price Add-on)

Create a print-ready Bookland EAN-13 barcode for your ISBN with an optional 5-digit price add-on, and download it as a vector SVG.

How it works

Book barcodes encode the ISBN-13 as an EAN-13 symbol. The optional five-digit add-on encodes a suggested price: a leading 5 means US dollars (51995 = $19.95) and 90000 means no price. The SVG is vector artwork — place it at 100% size (about 37 x 26 mm with the add-on), black on a white background, inside the barcode area of your back cover.

KDP adds a barcode automatically if you leave the area blank; IngramSpark's cover template generator includes one too.

Frequently asked questions

What does 90000 mean in a book barcode?
It is the add-on code for 'no suggested retail price'.
Can I shrink the barcode?
Slightly — scanners tolerate roughly 80–100% of nominal size. Never stretch it in one direction, and keep the quiet zones clear.
