Vector QR code

QR Code SVG

An SVG is a vector file: it scales from a business card to a shop window without pixels. Use it for print, engraving, packaging and layouts.

A real code, generated with the studio.

Why it works

Why print a vector QR code

Sharp at any size

No pixelation at 10 cm or 2 m. The printer uses the vector paths at its native resolution.

Editable

Open the SVG in Illustrator, Figma or Inkscape to place it in a layout or adjust the colour.

Small and clean

The file is text and geometry, not a screenshot. It stays light and has no background noise.

The guide

SVG or PNG for a QR code?

Use SVG for print: offset, laser, screen printing and large formats. A PNG is enough for a screen, a slide or a social post at the size you export. QRCanvas exports both from the same design.

The SVG is a true vector file, not an image wrapped in an SVG. Keep the quiet zone, do not crop the file and do not recolour the background to transparent on a dark surface. For professional print, ask the printer whether they prefer SVG, PDF or EPS.

  • Keep four modules of quiet zone around the code.
  • Scale the whole SVG, never individual modules.
  • Test the final PDF or print proof at real size.
  • Use a dark foreground on a light background.
  • For engraving, ask for a proof on the final material.

FAQ

QR code SVG questions

Short answers. If something is missing, write on GitHub.

Is the SVG a real vector file?

Yes. The modules are drawn as vector shapes, not embedded as a bitmap. It stays sharp when scaled.

Can I edit the colours in Illustrator or Figma?

Yes. The QR modules, eyes and frame are separate shapes and can be recoloured. Keep enough contrast and test the scan after editing.

When should I use PNG instead?

For screens, slides, emails and social posts. PNG is also easier when a platform does not accept SVG. Print shops usually prefer SVG or PDF.

Can I use the SVG for commercial printing?

Yes. There is no watermark and no licence fee. Test the final print and keep the quiet zone.
