Data Matrix Generator

About This Tool

Purpose-built for developers and labeling teams, this tool creates a Data Matrix style barcode from arbitrary text. It uses ECC200 encoding, selects a suitable matrix version, and renders a scalable SVG glyph compatible with printing and digital workflows. The output is deterministic, portable, and suitable for embedding in code repositories, CI pipelines, and product labels. How it works conceptually: the input text is assessed for data capacity, a version is chosen (either user-specified or auto-selected), error correction is applied, and a grid is produced that maps each module to a visible square in the final SVG. Users benefit from a vector output that scales without quality loss and can be integrated into automated labeling, document generation, or asset pipelines. Unique value lies in a lightweight, self-contained SVG renderer that adheres to Data Matrix ECC200 standards, enabling seamless integration into software delivery and print workflows without external service calls. Core features include data input, version auto-detection, module size control, quiet zone management, and a pure SVG export. Typical use cases span software packaging, warehouse labeling, and QA testing where machine readability and compact barcode form factors are required.
