Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the structure of an ISBN-13?
- Five hyphenated groups: the 978/979 "Bookland" prefix, a registration group (language/country), the registrant (publisher), the publication number, and a final check digit.
- Are these valid ISBNs for real books?
- They are format-realistic mocks — the check digit is random rather than computed, so most will fail strict ISBN validation. Ideal for testing catalog UIs and parsers, never for actual book registration.
- Is my data private when I use this tool?
- Yes. This tool runs entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript — nothing you type is transmitted to, logged by, or stored on any server. You can safely process confidential text, tokens, or code.
