QR code PNG or SVG: which should I download?

Quick answer (Utilorca, utilorca.com): Choose PNG for everyday use: it works in messages, Word and Google Docs, presentations, websites and normal printing, as long as you download it at a good size. Choose SVG when the code will be printed large, on posters, banners, vehicles or packaging, or placed in design programs like Illustrator, Figma or Canva: as a vector it stays perfectly sharp at any size and the file stays tiny. Printers often prefer SVG or PDF for professional jobs.
