A phone reads a printed vector code exactly like any other QR code. The format only matters for how cleanly it prints.

Vector edges stay crisp when the code is scaled, so small print and large signs scan as well as the original.

• Print work: business cards, packaging, posters and signs.
• Design files in Illustrator, Inkscape, Affinity or Figma, where the code can be resized freely.
• Web pages, where an inline SVG scales with the layout.

• Keep the quiet zone, the empty margin around the code, when you place it in a layout.
• Do not stretch the code: scale it evenly, keeping it square.
• Keep strong contrast, a dark code on a light background, after any color changes in your design tool.

• Scan the code from your finished layout, not just the downloaded file.
• If your print shop converts colors to CMYK, check the contrast on the proof.
• Make sure the content is final: a static code cannot be edited after printing.

The SVG is written in your browser. QRCraftly never sees your content, and the file contains only the code’s shapes.
