📊 Barcode Check Digit Validator

Validate or generate the check digit for EAN-13, UPC-A, EAN-8, ISBN-13, ISBN-10, GTIN-14 and ITF-14 barcodes. Shows the arithmetic so you can see exactly why a code passes or fails.

Enter a barcode to validate it.
How it works

EAN/UPC/GTIN codes weight alternating digits 1 and 3 from the right, sum them, and the check digit is whatever takes the total up to the next multiple of ten. ISBN-10 instead weights 10 down to 1 and uses modulo 11, where the remainder 10 is written as X. A single mistyped digit always changes the checksum, which is what catches scanning and keying errors.
