Online ISBN10 to ISBN13 converter.
I’ve googled today for such a thing but without any luck. The main requirement was the ability to convert ISBNs in batch mode. Fortunately I’ve found small JS function here and decided to write the tool myself. Please don’t hesitate to leave comments in case you found it useful or have suggestions on it’s functionality.
Great help! Thank you very much!
You are very welcome
Just let me know if it will be useful and I code the same thing for large files.
Can you do one that checks validity of 8 and 12 digit UPCs in batches? (Just a thing that follows the algorithm and says yes/no this is/isn’t a correct UPC structure and keeps the output in the same order as the input)
We have a thing where we enter them one at a time to research them, but 99% of the stuff is garbage. It’d be nice to weed that out and research only the 1% remaining.
If you’re feeling ambitious, you might make a hyperlink for the valid UPC that brings a pop-up of the item info returned by the UPC database screen we use.
Here’s a link to the UPC database tool. (I’m not sure if one of our people made it, or simply found it out there on the web. It’s like a Wiki thing that folks can add information to.)

PS> Thanks for the batch ISBN -> EAN tool.
PS> Jote is a co-worker of mine. I’ve aprised him of your response to his thank you. (We just have the converter in our favorites now, so don’t really see this blog when we use it. You might put a hyperlink button on the tool to put folks back on your blog (if they’re too lazy to clear the end of the file path in the URL), or advertise yourself some other way for the heck of it. Maybe make a counter for how many ISBNs have been converted or whatnot to see what sort of silent traffic you have.
[…] have created batch ISBN to ISBN13 converter some time ago. Here is another useful tool — online batch UPC validator. Please leave […]
Steve, I have created online UPC validator. It can be found here: http://custompcsoftware.com/blog/2008/06/10/free-online-batch-upc-validator/ . I was not able to find information about 8 digit UPCs, so, if you have any — please send me the link.
Hi Alex, this has been really useful!
Many thanks and best of luck with all your projects.
You’re welcome
