MicroPDF417 for compact high-capacity labels

When a label has little space but needs to carry more data than a linear barcode allows, MicroPDF417 offers a compact stacked alternative to full PDF417.

Preconfigured for compact labels

This experience fixes a 2-column layout ("columns": 2) instead of letting bwip-js auto-select column count, for a consistent footprint on compact labels.

Example data

The generator is seeded with a bwip-js-verified valid value you can adapt with your own data.

Workflow

Enter your data, confirm it fits the selected column/row configuration, then export SVG for label printing.

Job-specific settings

Increase columns if the payload does not fit at the default compact configuration.

Common mistakes

Assuming MicroPDF417 has the same capacity as full PDF417 at the same visual size is a common misunderstanding.

Reference

MicroPDF417 is documented in the bwip-js/BWIPP symbology reference and standardized as ISO/IEC 24728.
