About this tool: EAN-13 Barcode Generator
Build an EAN-13 barcode from 12 digits or verify all 13 digits, preview the bars and download SVG.
Enter 12 digits to calculate the last digit, or 13 digits to check it. A wrong check digit produces an error instead of a different code. The preview and downloaded SVG include the encoded modules, guard bars and white margins. The generator creates the symbol; it does not allocate a GS1 identifier.
