Download Your QR Code
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.

Click PNG for digital use, SVG for scalable print, or PDF for a print-ready document.
Drop the PNG into your website or email, or send the SVG/PDF to your print shop.
PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is a raster image format. It stores the QR code as a fixed grid of pixels. It is ideal for:
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 (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.
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 (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.
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.
