## What is Datamatrix?

Datamatrix barcode generator and scanner. Paste in the text and immediately get the correct datamatrix barcode. Share or copy the high resolution PNG image or PDF file. Insert the data matrix barcode into any document or message. Scan any Datamatrix barcode, get decoded result as text and reworked datamatrix barcode. No Internet connection required. Save generated and scanned barcodes to a local database and restore them at any time. Available on iPhone and iPad. 

Datamatrix is a matrix (2D or two-dimensional) barcode which may be printed as a square or rectangular symbol made up of individual dots or squares. This representation is an ordered grid of dark and light dots bordered by a finder pattern. The finder pattern is partly used to specify the orientation and structure of the symbol. The data is encoded using a series of dark or light dots based upon a pre-determined size. The size of these dots is known as the X-dimension.

Datamatrix is capable of encoding variable length data. Therefore, the size of the resulting symbol varies according to the amount of data encoded. Accordingly, this section can approximate the size of a given datamatrix barcode based on this parameter.

The size of a Datamatrix is dependent upon the amount and format (numeric or alphanumeric) of the encoded information: numbers and characters are encoded in terms of bits, represented by dark or light “dots” or “modules” of an identical size. The larger the number of bits required, the larger the symbol will be.

The maximum amount of data that can be encoded in the square form of datamatrix. Data Matrix can encode up to: 2,335 alphanumeric characters, or 3,116 numbers.

The Datamatrix supports various encoding structures which can be used in the same symbol simultaneously:  ASCII, ISO/IEC 646, C40, Text, X12, EDIFACT and Base 256. These structures provide an opportunity to maximise the efficiency of encoding the required data in a Data Matrix symbol.
The simplest solution is to encode data using the subset of ISO/IEC 646 (equivalent to ASCII table 256) for all the information. This limited character set is supported by almost all computer systems available around the world today. It is strongly recommended to make ISO/IEC 646 (or the equivalent ASCII 256) the default option.

### 1/5 — Cannot generate rectangular data matrix

*2024-09-28*

As titled. While the description might misled you to believe it can. 

There are 2 kinds of data matrix: square and rectangular. It’s not like you dump enough data into it it becomes rectangular. It is a different thing.

**Developer response:** Thank you for pointing out this functionality. The app is specifically designed to generate reliable, verified square DataMatrix barcodes, which are the most common format used in nearly all applications. The square format is much more common due to its larger data capacity and wider use in most industries. The rectangular version, while supported, is less frequently used and often limited to specific cases, such as high-speed printing scenarios. It has lower adoption primarily because it can encode less data and isn’t suitable for applications where large amounts of data need to be encoded, like in healthcare or logistics. We’ve updated the app promotional description to clarify this and avoid any confusion.
