Validate EAN barcodes before listing products

European Article Numbers power retail SKUs worldwide. A single wrong digit breaks catalog feeds, marketplace uploads, and warehouse scans. Paste EAN-8 or EAN-13 codes (one per line) to verify length, numeric format, and the GS1 check digit without sending data to a server.

Need to compute a missing check digit instead? Use the GTIN Check Digit Calculator or generate barcodes with the Barcode Generator.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this prove a product exists?

No. The validator only checks format and the check digit algorithm. It cannot confirm that a code is assigned to a live product in GS1 databases.

Which lengths are supported?

EAN-8 (eight digits) and EAN-13 (thirteen digits). Other GTIN lengths should use the dedicated GTIN tools on the site.

Can I validate hundreds of codes at once?

Yes. Enter one code per line. Blank lines are ignored in the summary.
