Loading information...
An ISBN (International Standard Book Number) is a unique commercial book identifier used worldwide. Our generator creates high-quality, standards-compliant barcodes with correct hyphenation based on the official International ISBN Agency dataset.
ISBN hyphens aren't random - they follow a specific structure defined by the ISBN Agency. They separate the ISBN into meaningful parts: prefix, registration group, publisher, title, and check digit. Correct hyphenation helps identify the book's country of origin and publisher instantly.
In addition to the main ISBN barcode, you can optionally add a price barcode (EAN-5) to display pricing information. The price barcode is a separate 5-digit barcode that appears alongside the ISBN barcode and includes currency and price data.
ISBNs can be purchased from your country's official ISBN agency. In the United States, Bowker is the official ISBN agency. For other countries, you can find your local agency through the International ISBN Agency's website.
