Data Matrix code generator
Generate a Data Matrix code from any text, a compact 2D format capable of storing a lot of information in a small space, widely used in electronics and logistics.
Processed on your device. Nothing is sent to any server.
Encodes the text into a two-dimensional matrix of modules following the Data Matrix standard (ISO/IEC 16022), which includes built-in error correction.
Use cases
- Marking small electronic components with a unique identifier.
- Labeling industrial parts where space is very limited.
- Generating codes for traceability systems.
How it works
- 1
Type the value
Any text or number you want to encode.
- 2
Download the SVG
The code is generated automatically and ready to download.
Technical details
- It generates Data Matrix ECC 200, the standard variant with error correction, in square format.
- The matrix size grows automatically with the amount of text.
- It downloads as SVG (vector), with no human-readable text below. Phone cameras don't always read Data Matrix without a dedicated app; for general use, a QR code is more practical.
Frequently asked questions
How is it different from a QR code?
Data Matrix is usually more efficient for encoding small amounts of text in very tight spaces, while QR is more common for general use and reading with phone cameras.
