When creating a QR code with Azaz QR Codes, you can download your QR code in different file formats, including PNG, SVG, and WEBP.
The best format depends on where you plan to use your QR code.
PNG
PNG is a good general-purpose choice and is widely supported by websites, image editors, documents, presentations, and social media platforms.
Choose PNG when you want to:
- Share your QR code online
- Add it to a website or document
- Use it in presentations
- Send it through email or messaging apps
- Use a format that works with most applications
If you are unsure which format to choose, PNG is usually the simplest choice.
SVG
SVG is a vector format. It can be resized without the same loss of sharpness that can occur when enlarging raster images.
Choose SVG when you want to:
- Print the QR code at a large size
- Use it on posters, signs, or banners
- Import it into compatible design software
- Resize the QR code while keeping clean edges
SVG is especially useful when preparing a QR code for professional design or large-format printing.
WEBP
WEBP is a modern image format commonly used for web content. It can provide efficient image file sizes while maintaining good visual quality.
Choose WEBP when you want to:
- Use the QR code primarily on a website
- Use a modern web-friendly image format
- Reduce image file size when appropriate
Make sure the application or service where you plan to use the image supports WEBP.

Always test your QR code
Regardless of the format you choose, always test the downloaded QR code before publishing, printing, or distributing it.
- Download your preferred format.
- Open the downloaded image.
- Scan it with your phone or another device.
- Confirm that it opens the correct destination.
If the QR code will be printed, test a sample at approximately the size at which it will actually be used.
Avoid damaging the QR code
When placing your QR code into another design, avoid stretching, cropping, covering, or heavily modifying it. Keep sufficient contrast and clear space around the code so that cameras can recognize it.
Create another QR code
You can create QR codes from the public QR Code generator.
If you are signed in, you can also access your QR dashboard.
