Vector vs Raster Barcode Formats: Why SVG Wins for Production Geometry

Vector barcode assets preserve geometry mathematically. Raster files store a grid of pixels and are therefore sensitive to DPI, interpolation, and scaling mistakes. If your workflow involves packaging, labels, or document composition, SVG or other vector formats are usually the safest choice.

Inline vector proof

The example above is rendered directly as inline SVG using rectangles, not as a PNG or JPEG. That matters because the browser can scale it without inventing new edge pixels.
