Aztec Code is a general purpose two-dimensional (2D) matrix symbology, used mainly for small item marking. A 2D imaging device such as a CCD camera is necessary to scan the symbology.

The Aztec Code is created with a string of data. There is no special format to the string and all characters and digits may be used. Depending on the amount of data in the string, it will produce either a "Compact" or "Full Range" symbol.

The Compact symbol displays two concentric square rings in the center of the symbol, and the Full Range symbol displays three concentric square rings in the center of the symbol. Together the two formats create a sequence of 33 distinct symbol sizes, capable of encoding small to large data messages.

No human readable is usually present.
