Free forever · no account · no watermark
QR codes as true vector SVG. Sharp on a business card or a billboard.
Every generator on this site exports real SVG: paths, not an embedded bitmap. Scale it to any size in Illustrator, Figma or Inkscape, recolour it, drop it into a print layout, and it stays perfectly crisp.

Why designers ask for SVG, and why 'free SVG' is often bait
A PNG has a fixed number of pixels, so a code generated for a flyer turns to mush on a poster. An SVG is geometry: the printer draws the squares at whatever size the layout needs, with edges as sharp as the press can produce. That is why print shops ask for vector files.
Plenty of generators know this and use it as the hook: PNG is free, but the SVG button is behind a sign-up, a watermark or a paid tier. Here the SVG download sits next to the PNG one, no account, no watermark, because exporting paths instead of pixels costs us exactly nothing extra.
What you can do with the file
The exported SVG uses plain shapes with your chosen colours, so it behaves well in every design tool: recolour it to match a brand palette, place it on packaging dielines, cut it in vinyl, or engrave it. Keep strong contrast between modules and background, keep the quiet zone around the code, and test a scan after any heavy restyling. If you also need a press-ready file with no extra steps, the PDF export is a vector too.
Questions, answered plainly
- Is the SVG a true vector or a bitmap wrapped in an SVG file?
- True vector. The modules are drawn as shapes, so you can zoom forever without pixelation and edit individual elements in any vector editor.
- Is the SVG download really free? No watermark?
- Yes. PNG, SVG and PDF are all free, with no account and no watermark, on every generator of this site. The file is generated in your browser and it is yours.
- Can I change the colours after downloading?
- Yes, in any vector editor, or before downloading with the built-in customiser. Keep dark modules on a light background: low contrast or inverted colours are the main reason restyled codes fail to scan.
- What size should the code be for print?
- With vector output, size is a layout decision, not a quality one. Rule of thumb: at least a tenth of the scanning distance, so 2.5 cm on a menu, 10 cm on a shop window, a metre on a billboard seen from ten metres.
- Does the SVG work for laser cutting or engraving?
- Yes, that is a common use. The modules are clean closed shapes, which is what cutters and engravers want. Test scan a sample first: engraved codes live or die by material contrast.
