Data Matrix generator
Type any text, up to 500 characters, and download a Data Matrix code as PNG or SVG. Data Matrix packs a lot into a small square, which is why it is used on small parts, circuit boards and medical products. Free, no account, in your browser.
Single barcodes are free. Bulk: 5 credits up to 50 barcodes, then 1 credit per 10.

Questions
- Data Matrix or QR code?
- Both are square 2D codes. Data Matrix stays readable at very small sizes, so it suits parts and packaging; QR is what phone cameras open, so it suits links for people.
- Is this GS1 DataMatrix?
- No. It makes plain Data Matrix. GS1 DataMatrix, used on medicines, carries Application Identifiers with a special start character, which this tool does not add.
- Can phones read it?
- Many barcode apps can, but most phone cameras only open QR codes by default. Industrial and retail scanners with 2D support read Data Matrix.
- How much can it hold?
- This tool accepts up to 500 characters. Short codes give a smaller symbol that is easier to print and scan.
