Datamatrix Barcode Size

Aspose.BarCode Product Family
1

HiWhen generating 2D Datamatrix barcode of 300dpi, the file size reaches 390kb which is huge, i think, is there a way to reduce this file size. Any advise would be greatly appreciated. I am using Aspose Barcode 5.5

private static int generatebarcode()
{
using (Aspose.BarCode.BarCodeBuilder myBarCode = new BarCodeBuilder("0001XXLETTER0000020G00000000100XXXXXXXLTR", Symbology.DataMatrix))
{
myBarCode.CodeLocation = CodeLocation.None;
myBarCode.AutoSize = true;
myBarCode.ImageWidth = 0.25f;
myBarCode.ImageHeight = 0.25f;
myBarCode.ImageQuality = ImageQualityMode.Default;
myBarCode.Margins = new Aspose.BarCode.MarginsF(0, 0, 0, 0);
myBarCode.GraphicsUnit = GraphicsUnit.Inch;
myBarCode.Resolution = new Resolution(300, 300, ResolutionMode.Customized);
using (MemoryStream myBarCodeImage = new MemoryStream())
{
string myBarCodeImageFile = @"C:\Temp\AsposeBarcodePdfTesting\" + Path.GetRandomFileName() + ".jpeg";
myBarCode.Save(myBarCodeImageFile, BarCodeImageFormat.Jpeg);
myBarCode.BarCodeImage.Dispose();
}
myBarCode.Dispose();
}
return 0;
}

Hi Ujjwal,


Thank you for contacting support. I tested your sample code against the latest build of Aspose.BarCode 5.9.0. I’m afraid. I’m not able to further reduce its size from 390kb. I have logged an investigation under ticket id BARCODENET-33766 in our issue tracking system. Our development team will look into the matter. Your request has also been linked to this issue. We shall let you know once a significant progress has been made. We’re sorry for your inconvenience.

Hi Imran

I am trying to generate a barcode with 300dpi, 75*75pixels which i am hoping would be less than 20-50kb.

Does this help

Thanks
