ScanOrbit exports QR codes in three file formats. Choosing the right one depends entirely on where the code will live.
PNG: the everyday, screen-first format
PNG is a raster format (a fixed grid of pixels) available for download on every plan, free included. It is ideal for anything that lives on a screen: a website, a slide deck, an email, or a social post. If you print from a PNG, keep the export size close to the final print dimensions.
SVG: the one to send to a printer
SVG is a vector format: instead of storing pixels, it stores mathematical shapes of each module, allowing it to scale infinitely to any size (from a business card to a highway billboard) with zero pixelation. Always send SVG to a professional printer or graphic designer. SVG download is available on Pro and Business.
PDF: for documents and standalone sharing
PDF is the right pick when the QR code needs to live inside a print-ready document or when you want to hand someone a single, self-contained vector file. PDF is also a Pro and Business feature.
