Compact Aztec Code for maximum-capacity small tickets
Event and transit tickets that need the most data a compact symbol can hold -- without stepping up to the larger full-range Aztec Code format -- use this generator with the maximum 4-layer size fixed.
Same generator, one preset applied
This experience uses the same Compact Aztec Code capability as the primary generator, with the maximum 4-layer size fixed ("layers": 4) instead of letting bwip-js auto-select the smallest layer count that fits.
Example data
The generator is seeded with a bwip-js-verified valid value, distinct from the primary's example.
Workflow
Enter your data, confirm the preview, then export SVG for the ticket artwork.
Job-specific settings
No job-specific options beyond the fixed 4-layer size are applied here.
Scanning notes
Compact Aztec Code requires a reader capable of decoding Aztec Code's bullseye finder pattern, the same reader class the separate full-range Aztec Code generator uses.
Common mistakes
A payload too large for a 4-layer compact symbol at the chosen error-correction level is the most common rejection.
Standard
Aztec Code (including this compact variant) is standardized as ISO/IEC 24778.
