This utility converts your EAN bar code numbers or ISBN number into an EAN bar code.

Click on any orange circle to see a description of exactly what that control does. Bar codes can be copied into Word for label printing, or into a desktop publishing program to display a bar code on your packaging. These bar code fonts are compatible with virtually any Windows program. For programs like Excel and Access see our package documentation for details on using our Visual Basic macros directly inside of those programs.

1Type of bar code
Select the type of EAN bar code to create. EAN-8 bar codes are 8 digits long. EAN-13 bar codes are 13 digits long and are used on virtually every retail product sold in Europe. Bookland bar codes are built from your ISBN number and are used on all books. All EAN-13 bar code numbers must be specially assigned by EAN International. An optional price code may follow your Bookland bar code.
2Change bar code height
Change the height of an EAN bar code without changing the width. EAN bar codes can range from .25 to 1 inch in height.
3Change bar code width
Scale the bar code width up or down by increasing or decreasing the point size. EAN-13 bar codes should be about 1.0 to 1.75 inches wide.

Type in your EAN-8, EAN-13, or ISBN number here. Our program will calculate the checksum for you, or verify yours if you enter all 13 digits.
