QR Maker exports PNG at 1024 px, 2048 px, 5120 px, and 10240 px. Here is exactly which size to use for social media, business cards, posters, billboards, and large-format print.

The four PNG export sizes in QR Maker

When you download a QR code as PNG from QR Maker, you can choose from four resolution multipliers. Each corresponds to a fixed pixel dimension:

  • 1× (1024 × 1024 px): Best for digital use, email, website embeds, presentations
  • 2× (2048 × 2048 px): Best for business cards, flyers, small brochures
  • 5× (5120 × 5120 px): Best for posters, A3/A2 print, pull-up banners
  • 10× (10240 × 10240 px): Best for large-format print, billboards, vehicle wraps
