Download

Downloading is the act of transferring data from a server or cloud to a local device. In QR code generators, it is the final step to obtain the created code for actual use. Typically PNG (raster) and SVG (vector) formats are offered.

PNG has the widest compatibility across devices and software, suitable for web, email, and social media. However, resolution is fixed, so print use requires generation at 300 dpi or higher. SVG is vector-based and never degrades when scaled, ideal for print and design software editing.

Browser-based generators like Qraft complete the download process entirely client-side. Input data never reaches a server, offering superior privacy. The downloaded file is created from a JavaScript Blob object and saved only on the user's device. For sensitive URLs or text, client-side generation tools are recommended.
