Renderer outputs

Renderers convert the same QRCodeMatrix into different output values. Choose by the value your application needs, then install the owning package.

Output	Renderer	Return type	Package	Runtime	Best use case
SVG string	QRCodeSVGRenderer	string	@qrcodesdk/core	Any Core-compatible runtime	Scalable web, email, print, and server output
Terminal text	QRCodeTextRenderer	string	@qrcodesdk/core	UTF-8 text environment	Terminals, logs, CLIs, and snapshots
Canvas element	QRCodeCanvasRenderer	HTMLCanvasElement	@qrcodesdk/browser	Browser DOM	Drawing, compositing, and manual raster export
PNG-backed Image element	QRCodeImageRenderer	HTMLImageElement	@qrcodesdk/browser	Browser DOM	Accessible DOM image and CSS workflows
SVG browser download	QRCodeDownloadSVGRenderer	void	@qrcodesdk/browser	Browser DOM	User-triggered scalable file download
PNG browser download	QRCodeDownloadImageRenderer	void	@qrcodesdk/browser	Browser DOM	User-triggered raster file download
PNG Buffer	QRCodePNGRenderer	Buffer	@qrcodesdk/node	Node.js-compatible runtime	Files, HTTP responses, and attachments

Framework packages wrap the same output families in components: see React and Next.js, Vue, Svelte, or Angular. To produce another return type, implement the custom renderer contract.
