PNG vs SVG QR Codes: Which Format Is Best?

Choose the right QR export format for web, print, and design tools.

Use PNG for quick sharing

PNG is easy to use in documents, slides, websites, emails, and simple print jobs.

Export at a high resolution if the QR code will be printed large.

Use SVG for professional print

SVG is vector-based, so it remains crisp at any size. This makes it ideal for business cards, posters, packaging, signs, and design tools.

If a printer or designer asks for vector artwork, SVG is usually the best QR export.

Test both if needed

Both formats can scan well when exported cleanly. The main difference is how they scale and fit into your workflow.

Always scan the final placed artwork, not only the downloaded file.
