Common projects
Where PNG QR Codes Work Best
The everyday format — accepted everywhere images are.
Screens and slides
Drop the PNG into presentations, email signatures, and social posts — every tool accepts it.
Overlays on designs
The transparent-background option lets the code sit on photos, posters, and packaging without a white box.
Small-format print
At large size, the high-resolution PNG prints cleanly on cards, labels, and flyers.
Documents and spreadsheets
Insert codes into Word docs, PDFs, and Sheets — PNG is the universal insert format.
Sizes and pixels
Pick the Right PNG Size
Pixels are fixed — match them to the job.
Size guide
Large (1024px) covers print up to card size and all screen use. Medium and small suit docs and thumbnails. For poster-size print, use our SVG vector generator instead — vectors never pixelate.
Optional file names
Use Name,Value on a line to give its PNG a useful file name, or keep automatic numbered names.
PNG and ZIP downloads
Download one PNG from its preview or package every generated PNG into one ZIP file.
Transparent PNGs are perfect for overlays, but always place them on a light, uncluttered background — scanners need dark modules against light surroundings.
Before production
Check Your PNGs Before Using Them
Pixels don't stretch — verify before you commit.
Never upscale a PNG
Enlarging a PNG blurs the module edges and kills scans. Need it bigger? Regenerate at a larger size — it's free — or switch to SVG.
Test with real phones
Scan samples with more than one phone or camera app, especially after resizing or placing them in a layout.
Protect contrast and spacing
Keep a clear quiet zone around each code and use strong contrast between the foreground and background.
Mind the transparent background
On dark or busy backgrounds, a transparent code becomes unscannable. Test the final placement, not just the file.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers about PNG size, transparency, DPI and print, PNG vs SVG, batch limits, and cost.
What size PNG should I download for a QR code?
Large (1024×1024 px) is the safe default — it prints cleanly up to business-card size and looks crisp on any screen. For print larger than a card, use a vector (SVG) instead; PNGs blur when enlarged beyond their pixel size.
Can I get a QR code PNG with a transparent background?
Yes — tick the transparent background option before generating. The white box disappears, so the code overlays cleanly on photos and designs. Just place it on something light and uncluttered: scanners still need dark modules against a light surround.
What DPI are the PNG QR codes? Can I print them?
A 1024px PNG at 300 DPI prints about 8.7 cm (3.4 in) wide — plenty for cards, labels, and flyers. For posters and banners, don't upscale the PNG; use our free SVG vector generator, which stays sharp at any size.
PNG or SVG for QR codes — which should I use?
PNG for screens, documents, email, and small print — it's the universal format every tool accepts. SVG for large-format print, design work, and cutting machines — vectors scale infinitely. Both are free here.
How many QR code PNGs can I download at once?
Up to 100 per batch — individually as PNG files, or the whole set in one ZIP, named from your list.
Are the PNG QR codes free to use commercially?
Yes — no sign-up, no watermark, no attribution. The codes are generated locally in your browser and are yours to use anywhere, including commercial print.
