QR Code Format

You can create QR Codes in two formats:

• PNG: This is a widely used image format known for maintaining high image quality and supporting transparency.
• Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG): Images created in this format can be scaled infinitely without losing quality, making them ideal for responsive web design and high-resolution displays.

Pick the format that best suits your use case.

Styling Options (PNG)

The styling options below show how you can customize your QR Code.

Foreground Color, Background Color and Transparency

Select 'Foreground Color' to pick the primary color for your QR Code.

Select 'Background Color' to pick the color that will fill the background of your QR Code. It is white by default.

Select 'Transparent Background' to get rid of a background color altogether.

These options are particularly useful if you want to make your QR Code match the colors of your brand.

Embed Logo Or Image

Select the Add logo checkbox. A dialog box will open, with the option to select an image file to be embedded in the QR Code. Acceptable file formats include PNG and JPEG (.png and .jpeg).

The image selected will be reduced to an appropriate size and pasted at the centre of the QR Code.
