What file format should I use to print my WhatsApp QR code?
Updated 3 October 2026
Use an SVG file. Meta recommends the scalable vector (.svg) format for a WhatsApp QR code, because it stays sharp at any print size.
- You can resize an SVG for signage, packaging and table tents without losing quality.
- Meta lets you choose SVG or PNG when you create a code with the API.
- Do not change the colours or style of the code. Meta says this keeps it readable.
- A QR code does not expire on its own. A code you delete shows an expired message.
