PicturesQR QR templates are generated as high-quality 5×7 inch PDF files. They are vector-based, which means you can scale them up or down without losing quality. You can print them at home on regular or cardstock paper, or send them to any professional print service.

Cutting to size.
If printing on letter-size paper, use scissors or a paper cutter to trim the design down to a neat 5×7 card.
