SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) and PNG (Portable Network Graphics) are the two main export formats for QR codes. SVG is vector-based and scales infinitely; PNG is raster-based with fixed resolution.
SVG defines the QR code as mathematical shapes (rectangles). It can be scaled to any size without quality loss, making it ideal for print. PNG stores the QR code as a pixel grid. Quality degrades when enlarged, but it's universally supported by all devices and platforms.
Use SVG for business cards, posters, and packaging — perfect quality at any size.
Use PNG for embedding in web pages, emails, and social media posts.
SVG is essential for billboards and banners where massive enlargement is needed.
SVG. It scales infinitely without pixelation, ensuring crisp output at any print size.
Not reliably. Raster-to-vector conversion loses precision. Generate the QR code directly in SVG format.
