# Downloading a QR Code

> Download a QR Code in the format and the size that you need, from PNG for screens to SVG, EPS or PDF for print, and what each option is actually best for.

## Where to download from

Every QR Code has a **Download** action — the download-icon button in each row of the [QR Codes list](/qr-codes/manage/folders-tags-bulk-operations), or the **Download** button on a QR Code's own detail page. Both open the same **Download QR Code** panel.

<Note>
  This is a different action from **Export**, which pulls scan/analytics *data* out of the platform rather than the QR Code image itself — see [Exporting QR Code data](/qr-codes/manage/export).
</Note>

## Choosing a format and size

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Download panel">
    From the QR Codes list, click the download icon in the row for the QR Code you want. The panel shows a live preview, the current **Format**, **Size**, and estimated file size at the top.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick a raster or vector format">
    **Format** splits into two groups: **Raster** (**PNG** or **JPG** — fixed pixel dimensions) and **Vector** (**SVG**, **PDF**, or **EPS** — scale to any size with no quality loss). Switching to a vector format replaces the **Size** section's pixel options with a note that it "scales infinitely," and the estimated file size drops to a few KB regardless of how large you print it.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick a size (raster formats only)">
    For PNG or JPG, **Size** offers three presets — **Web** (450×450 px), **Print** (1200×1200 px, selected by default), and **Poster** (2400×2400 px) — plus **Custom**, which reveals separate **W** and **H** fields (with a lock icon between them to keep them linked) and a unit dropdown defaulting to **Pixel**.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Download">
    The filename preview at the bottom (e.g. `golden-gate-bridge-docs-copy_1200x1200.png`) updates live as you change format and size. Click **Download** to save the file.
  </Step>
