I have a 2.8 inch TFT display hooked up to ESP8266 over SPI. The goal is to make the display show a QR code image (back-and-white, 220x220 pixels) received from a PC via USB. The image HEX file is around 400-500 KB. Is ESP8266 capable of receiving this amount of data at once or should some "portioning" be implemented to achieve this?

If You use TCP (or FTP), it can receive it by once.

I'm a bit confused: 220 by 220 pixels would only take 48.400 bits (a bit shy of 50kB): there must be a more optimal way to reduce your data.
You could even just let your ESP generate the QR code on its own.

Assumption is the mother of all f*ckups. At least: that's what I'm assuming.

Even smaller - a QR code is made up of black or white pixels, so use one bit per pixel.
220 x 220 / 8 is just over 6k bytes
