Sharp scalable artwork
Use SVG when a code must move between small labels and large signs.

QR code download formats for print and digital work
QR code download formats serve different workflows: use PNG for familiar raster placement or SVG for sharp, scalable artwork that retains its quiet zone.

Feature overview
How do QR code download formats differ?
A QR export is the artwork placed into a document, website, sign, or package. aQRify currently supports PNG and SVG downloads; the right choice depends on the final layout and how much resizing is expected.
The wrong file type can become blurry, pick up unwanted backgrounds, or lose clean module edges when it is enlarged for print.
Practical examples
- PNG for a fixed-size email graphic
- SVG for a large event banner
- SVG for packaging sent to a professional printer
Key benefits
What this feature helps you accomplish
Simple raster sharing
Use PNG in presentations, social posts, documents, and common image workflows.
Design preserved
Frames, colors, module shapes, finder patterns, logos, and labels remain part of the export.
Predictable sizing
Choose an output size while keeping a stable square aspect ratio.
Quiet zone retained
The configured margin stays around the code to support scanning.
Readability before export
Review the on-page check before downloading the final artwork.
How it works
A clear path from setup to use
- 1
Finish the QR design
Complete the payload and customization before choosing a file.
- 2
Match format to placement
Pick PNG for a fixed raster size or SVG for flexible scaling and print.
- 3
Place without distortion
Keep equal width and height and preserve all surrounding whitespace.
- 4
Test the final layout
Scan from the exported design, not only the generator preview.

Feature capabilities
What aQRify currently supports
PNG export
A widely supported image format suited to fixed pixel dimensions.
SVG export
A vector format that scales while retaining precise module edges.
Configurable output size
Set practical dimensions for the intended raster workflow.
Complete composition
Export the QR together with the selected frame, label, logo, and colors.
Practical comparison
aQRify and a typical basic QR workflow
aQRify focuses on two useful formats rather than advertising file types the application does not export.

Frequently asked questions
Helpful answers before you begin
Does aQRify download PDF QR files?
The QR generator currently downloads PNG and SVG. Analytics reports can be exported as PDF on plans that include reporting exports.
Is SVG better than PNG?
SVG is better when the code will be resized or professionally printed. PNG is often easier for fixed-size digital use.
Can I open an SVG in a browser?
Yes. Modern browsers display SVG, and many design and office applications can place it directly.
Why does my QR code look blurry?
A PNG can blur when enlarged beyond its exported size. Download a larger PNG or use SVG.
Does the download include my frame and logo?
Yes. The export is built from the complete QR composition shown in the generator preview.
Can I crop the white margin?
Do not remove the entire quiet zone. Scanners need clear space around the code to distinguish it from nearby content.
Should I scan the exported file?
Always. Test the file after placing it into the final layout because size, contrast, and surrounding content can affect scanning.
