Choosing the right format ensures your QR code looks sharp and scans perfectly everywhere. Each format has a specific best use. Here’s a simple guide:

• SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics): The Best for Printing. This is a vector file, meaning you can scale it to any size—from a tiny sticker to a massive billboard—without any loss of quality or blurriness. Always use SVG for professional print jobs.
• PNG (Portable Network Graphics): The Best for Web & Digital Use. This is the most common image format for websites, social media posts, and emails. It supports transparent backgrounds and is universally recognized.
• WebP (Web Picture format): The Modern Choice for Websites. This is a newer format developed by Google. WebP files are smaller than PNGs, which can help your website load faster. It's a great option for web developers focused on performance.
• PDF (Portable Document Format): The Best for Documents & Easy Sharing. This format places your high-quality, vector-based QR code into a standard document that is easy to share with colleagues or send directly to a printer.

Our recommendation: For simplicity, use SVG for anything you plan to print and PNG for everything on-screen. They are the most versatile and universally supported formats.
