Choosing a format
- EAN-13 is used internationally; UPC-A is its 12-digit North American counterpart and is compatible with EAN-13 scanners.
- This site can render a barcode from a GTIN you already have and calculate/validate its check digit -- it does not issue new GTINs or company prefixes.
- ISBN barcodes use the same EAN-13 symbology with a reserved prefix, for books specifically.
