Supported media types
The file types you can use on pages and codes, and their limits.
Your media library holds two kinds of files, and together they cover everything a Qbit page displays.
Images
All common image formats are supported — PNG, JPEG, WebP, GIF, and SVG. Images power most of the product:
- Image elements on your pages
- Menu item photos
- Page and theme backgrounds
- Social preview images (what shows when your page is shared)
- QR code ads — the promo shown after a scan (Premium)
One special case: QR code logos (the image in the center of a code) are uploaded directly in the QR designer rather than picked from the library, and accept PNG, JPEG, or WebP.
PDFs
PDFs display in the PDF Viewer element — ideal for documents that already exist in print form: menus, price lists, event programs, spec sheets.
A tip from experience: if the content will mostly be read on phones, consider rebuilding it as a Qbit page instead of embedding the PDF. Pages reflow to fit the screen; PDFs make people pinch and zoom.
Limits
- Maximum file size: 6 MB per file.
- Library size: the Starter plan includes 5 media files; Premium and Team are unlimited.
- Video isn't supported — for video content, host it on YouTube or similar and link to it from a button on your page.
One file, used everywhere
Upload once and reuse the same file across any number of pages, menus, and codes. Replacing a file updates it everywhere it's used — see Managing your media library.
