PNG or PDF: Which Vehicle QR Download Should You Use?

By Scan2Connect · Updated 2026-10-06 · Printing

Both downloads can contain the same vehicle contact destination. Choose the file type based on your printer or print shop, while preserving the QR’s clarity.

Choose the right workflow

PDF is convenient for a prepared printable page. PNG is convenient when a print shop needs an image, but resizing it too small can make the QR hard to scan. Supply the original downloaded file rather than a compressed chat preview or screen capture. Ask the printer to preserve the aspect ratio and the blank margin around the code.

Avoid accidental changes

A decorative background, crop or image filter can damage readability. Do not replace the embedded code with a generic QR from an unrelated generator. If someone adds a frame or business message, keep it away from the scan area. Compare the final printed tag with the original and scan it to confirm the vehicle identity before attaching it.

Match the print to the service

A sample QR demonstrates the flow but is not assigned to your vehicle. Use your purchased PNG or PDF after verified activation. Digital costs ₹49 for one vehicle; digital plus a physical sticker costs ₹149 including shipping. Physical dimensions, material and suitability must be confirmed from product specifications. The website design preview is an illustration, so it should not be used to infer a weatherproof rating or an exact delivered size. Test the final installed code and notification settings together.
