Downloading Your QR Code
How to download your QR code in the right format for digital use, printing, and large-format displays.
Available Download Formats
For any print use (business cards, banners, packaging), always download SVG or PDF — not PNG. PNG loses quality when scaled up.
| Format | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|
PNG | Digital use: websites, email, social media, presentations | Fixed resolution — choose a high enough size for your use |
SVG | Print and large-format displays | Vector format — scales infinitely with no quality loss |
Ready-to-print single-page document | Ideal for sending to a print shop |

Print Size Guidelines
For QR codes to scan reliably on printed materials, use these minimum sizes as a guide:
QR codes smaller than 2 cm are unreliable and may fail to scan on some devices. Always leave a clear white 'quiet zone' margin of at least 4 modules (dots) around the QR pattern.
| Print Medium | Minimum QR Code Size | Recommended Size |
|---|---|---|
Business card | 2 cm × 2 cm | 3 cm × 3 cm |
Flyer / A5 | 3 cm × 3 cm | 4 cm × 4 cm |
Table tent / menu | 4 cm × 4 cm | 6 cm × 6 cm |
Poster / A3 | 5 cm × 5 cm | 8 cm × 8 cm |
Banner / large format | 8 cm × 8 cm | 12 cm × 12 cm |
