QR Code Enhancements – Higher Quality & New Format Options

QR codes have become an essential tool for businesses, marketers, and everyday users. With new technological advancements, improved formats and higher quality downloads ensure better performance and usability. This latest update introduces SVG and PDF format options, along with enhanced PNG quality, making QR codes more versatile than ever before.

New QR Code Format Options

SVG Format for Infinite Scalability

Scalability is crucial for QR codes, especially when used in various sizes across digital and print media. The newly introduced SVG format offers:

• Infinite Scaling: Resize QR codes without losing quality.

• Smooth and Sharp Appearance: Ensures QR codes remain clear at any size.

Users can now generate and download QR codes in SVG format, making it easy to adapt them for different branding and design needs.

PDF Format for Easy Printing

For users who need QR codes in a ready-to-print format, PDF is now available. Key benefits include:

• Perfect for A4-Sized Printing: Print high-quality QR codes without additional adjustments.
• Convenient Sharing: Easily distribute QR codes in a format that maintains its quality across devices.
• Retains Original Clarity: Ensures the QR code remains sharp and readable.

This new option simplifies the printing process for businesses using QR codes for flyers, posters, and marketing materials.

Enhanced PNG Quality for Better Clarity

While PNG remains a widely used format for QR codes, improvements in quality ensure a sharper, clearer appearance.

• Higher PPI (Pixels Per Inch): Delivers better resolution and sharpness.
