EAN Validator
Check European Article Number codes for length, digits, and GS1 check digits. Paste one code per line for batch validation.
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.
