Choosing the right file format for your QR code makes the difference between a crisp, professional result and a blurry printout. TechMind exports QR codes in all three major formats — PNG, SVG, and PDF — so you always have the right file for the job.

Download Your QR Code in 3 Steps

01

Enter your URL or content, customize the style, colors, and optional label.

02

Choose Your Format

Click PNG for digital use, SVG for scalable print, or PDF for a print-ready document.

03

Use Your Downloaded File

Drop the PNG into your website or email, or send the SVG/PDF to your print shop.

PNG — Best for Digital Use

PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is a raster image format. It stores the QR code as a fixed grid of pixels. It is ideal for:

  • Embedding in websites and landing pages
  • Including in email campaigns and newsletters
  • Sharing on social media or messaging apps
  • Adding to digital presentations (PowerPoint, Google Slides)

Recommended size for digital PNG: 300px to 400px wide. This gives sufficient resolution for on-screen display without creating an unnecessarily large file.

PNG supports transparency, so if you set a transparent background in TechMind, the downloaded PNG will have no background — useful for placing the QR code over colored sections of a webpage or graphic.

SVG — Best for Print at Any Scale

SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is a vector format. Instead of pixels, it describes the QR code using mathematical paths. This means it can be scaled to any size — from a thumbnail to a billboard — without any loss of sharpness.

  • Business cards and brochures
  • Posters and exhibition banners
  • Product packaging and labels
  • Signage and window stickers

Why SVG for print? Print shops work at 300+ DPI. A 400px PNG printed at 1 inch is fine, but at 3 inches it becomes blurry. An SVG stays sharp at any print size because there are no pixels to stretch.

PDF — Print-Ready Single Page

PDF (Portable Document Format) wraps the vector QR code in a standard document format that any print service accepts. It is the most universally compatible format for sending to a printer.

  • Send directly to a print shop
  • Include in a design file alongside other artwork
  • Archive a permanent record of the QR code at print quality

Labels Are Included in All Formats

When you add a label below your QR code (such as "Scan to visit our website" or your website URL), that label is embedded in all three download formats. The label renders in the same color as your QR dots and is positioned consistently below the QR pattern.

This means you can send a PDF directly to a printer and the label will appear exactly as configured — no manual layout work needed.
