PNG vs SVG QR Codes

PNG and SVG both work for QR codes, but SVG is usually better for print because it stays sharp at any size. PNG is convenient for quick web use, documents, and everyday sharing.

Use PNG when

  • You need a quick image file
  • You are using digital documents or online posts
  • You do not need large-format printing

Use SVG when

  • You are printing menus, flyers, or posters
  • You need perfect scaling
  • You want the cleanest print quality
