# Export Options

The Barcode and QR Code provide built-in support for Image, SVG, and PDF export.

You can send the export output to a remote service as a Base64-encoded string or save it on the client machine.

Similar to all KendoReact components, the Barcode and QR Code can also be included in PDF documents created by the [PDF Export](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-react-ui-develop/components/pdfprocessing) component.

The Barcodes support the following options:

* [Exporting to an image](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-react-ui-develop/components/barcodes/export-options#exporting-to-images)
* [Exporting to the Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) image format](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-react-ui-develop/components/barcodes/export-options#exporting-to-svg)
* [Exporting to a drawing visual](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-react-ui-develop/components/barcodes/export-options#exporting-to-drawing-visuals)
* [Exporting to the Portable Document Format (PDF)](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-react-ui-develop/components/barcodes/export-options#exporting-to-pdf)
