## What is DataMatrix Junior?

Scan a barcode and see exactly what's inside. Make GS1 barcodes that scan right the first time.

DataMatrix Junior is a simple tool for GS1 barcodes: GS1 DataMatrix, GS1 Digital Link QR, GS1-128, EAN-13 and UPC-A. Point the camera at a code to check it, or enter a GTIN, lot and expiry date to make a new one. The app places the separators, works out check digits and warns you about mistakes before they reach the printer.

Ready for Sunrise 2027: by the end of 2027, US retail checkouts are expected to read 2D barcodes. Start with codes you can trust.

SCAN AND CHECK
• Read GS1 DataMatrix, QR, GS1-128, EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A, UPC-E, ITF-14 and GS1 DataBar with the camera
• See every Application Identifier with its meaning: GTIN, batch or lot, expiry, serial number, dates, net weight
• Catch problems: wrong check digits, impossible dates, lost separators, and plain DataMatrix or QR codes that only look like GS1
• Paste scanner output or a Digital Link URI to decode it
• Recent scans and a searchable scan history, kept on your device
• Open any scanned code in Create to fix it or make it again

CREATE
• GS1 DataMatrix, GS1 Digital Link QR, GS1-128, EAN-13 and UPC-A
• GTIN-8, -12, -13 and -14 with a one-tap check digit fix
• Lot (10), expiry (17), serial (21), production date (11), best before (15), sell by (16) and net weight (310n)
• Live preview and checks against the GS1 General Specifications: lengths, allowed characters, FNC1 separators, dates
• Warnings for restricted circulation numbers, coupons, ISBNs and other special GTIN prefixes
• Human-readable text, such as (01)09506000134352(17)271231(10)ABC123

EXPORT
• PNG, SVG and PDF
• Exact module size (X-dimension) from the GS1 symbol specification tables, with quiet zones and human-readable digits — ready for your printer or designer
• Copy the element string or the Digital Link URI

CHESTNY ZNAK MARKING CODES
• Recognize Chestny ZNAK (Честный знак) marking codes and see the product group, serial number, verification key and crypto signature
• Build a marking code from its parts for the product groups the operator documents, with optional net weight, and export it as a square GS1 DataMatrix with FNC1 separators

LEARN
• Short guides: Sunrise 2027 in 5 minutes, where to get a GTIN, DataMatrix or QR, and choosing barcode size

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Works offline. No account, no ads, no tracking. Your scans and history never leave your device.

PLEASE NOTE
DataMatrix Junior doesn't issue GTINs: license them from your GS1 member organization, such as GS1 US. It isn't a certified ISO/IEC 15415 or 15416 verifier, so check production runs with a professional verifier. Chestny ZNAK codes are checked for structure only.
