PDF417 is a stacked, two-dimensional barcode (ISO/IEC 15438) that holds far more data than a classic barcode. Its name stands for "Portable Data File": you meet it on driving licences and ID cards, on airline boarding passes and on parcel and shipping labels.
You enter your text, number or other data, choose the module size and instantly get a real, freely scalable SVG. The multi-row structure and built-in error correction make the code robust against minor damage.
Generation runs entirely locally in your browser - your data is not uploaded, not stored, and no foreign library is loaded from a CDN. If the input does not fit, the tool says so honestly instead of producing a wrong code.

Limitations: Generates PDF417 codes (ISO/IEC 15438) as SVG. For linear barcodes use the barcode generator, for compact matrix codes DataMatrix or Aztec. Capacity is high but limited; very long inputs can fail - the tool then says so honestly.
No. The PDF417 code is generated entirely locally in the browser; your data never leaves the device and is not stored.
For driving licences and ID cards, for airline boarding passes, for parcel and shipping labels and for forms with larger amounts of data.
PDF417 is stacked, that is several rows of wide bars, whereas QR and DataMatrix are square matrix codes. PDF417 tends to be wide and flat and is common for larger amounts of data on documents.
SVG is a true vector and stays crisp at any scale - ideal for labels and print. You can convert it to a raster in any graphics program if needed.
