WiFi QR code FAQ
Quick answers about security, privacy, connecting, and printing.
Is it safe to share my WiFi password via QR code?
Yes. The QR code simply encodes the network details. It does not expose your password to the internet or any server. It is much safer than writing the password on a chalkboard for everyone to read.
Does this work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. Most modern iPhones (iOS 11+) and Android phones (Android 10+) have built-in QR code scanners in their cameras. Guests just point their camera at the code.
Can I use this for my cafe or hotel?
Absolutely. It is the perfect tool for cafes, hotels, restaurants, and offices. It saves staff from repeating the WiFi password 100 times a day.
What if I have a hidden network?
Our generator has a "Hidden network" checkbox. If your router does not broadcast the SSID, check this box before generating the code.
Do I need to install an app to scan this?
No. Standard smartphone cameras can scan and connect to WiFi networks automatically without any third-party apps.
What is an SSID?
SSID stands for Service Set Identifier. It is simply the technical name for your WiFi network name (e.g., "CafeGuest" or "HomeWiFi").
What security type should I choose?
Most modern routers use WPA or WPA2. If you are unsure, leave it on WPA. If your network is completely open (no password), select "None" (nopass).
Can I add my logo to the QR code?
Currently, we do not support adding a logo in the center. Doing so can make the code harder to scan. We focus on providing the most reliable, scannable code possible.
Will this work for a guest network?
Yes. Just enter the SSID and password for your guest network. It works exactly the same as your main network.
Is it free?
Yes, it is 100% free with no watermarks, no sign-ups, and no hidden fees.
Does it work if I have multiple WiFi access points?
If all your access points use the same SSID and password (which is common in mesh networks and offices), a single QR code will work everywhere. If they have different passwords, you will need multiple codes.
How large should I print the QR code?
For a table tent, 5cm x 5cm is usually enough. For a wall sign, 10cm x 10cm or larger is better.
What does the margin setting do?
The margin is the white space around the QR code. A margin of at least 2 is recommended so the camera can easily distinguish the code from the background.
Can I change the colors?
Yes. Use the Appearance settings to change the foreground and background colors. Ensure there is high contrast (dark foreground, light background).
Why is the QR code not connecting?
Ensure the password is correct, the security type matches your router, and the guest is within WiFi range. Also, ensure the QR code is not blurry or too small.
Does it store my password?
No. The generation happens entirely in your browser. Your password is never sent to our servers.
Can I use this for an Airbnb?
Yes! It is perfect for Airbnb hosts. Print a small card and leave it on the kitchen counter so guests can connect immediately.
Can I download it as a PDF?
We currently offer PNG and SVG. You can insert the PNG into a Word document or Canva and export it as a PDF for printing.
What if I change my WiFi password later?
Because the QR code is static, you will need to generate a new QR code and replace the printed signs.
Is this tool free for commercial use?
Yes. You can use the generated QR codes in your cafe, hotel, or office without paying any fees.
Where should you put your WiFi QR code?
WiFi QR codes are incredibly useful for businesses and hosts. The key is to place them where guests actually need them. Here is a breakdown of the best and worst placements.
| Placement | Result | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Cafe or restaurant tables | Perfect | Print on small table tents so customers can connect while they wait for their coffee. |
| Hotel rooms | Perfect | Place a small card next to the TV or on the desk. Guests connect without calling the front desk. |
| Office reception | Works well | Put it on the visitor check-in desk so clients and guests can get online instantly. |
| Outside the building | Not recommended | The WiFi signal might not reach outside. The QR code will scan, but the phone will fail to connect. |
| Public bulletin boards | Poor | You should never share your private home or office WiFi password on a public board. |
| Very large venues | Works, with caveats | If you have multiple access points with different passwords, you need a unique QR code per zone. |
Tips for a seamless guest experience
Do not put it too far away
The QR code might scan from across the room, but the WiFi signal might not reach. Place the code near where guests will sit.
Use a sign holder
Print it and put it in an acrylic stand on the table. It looks professional and protects the print from coffee spills.
Add instructions
Not everyone knows they can scan WiFi codes with their camera. Add text saying "Point your camera here to connect to WiFi".
Test it yourself
Always test the code with a guest phone before printing 50 copies. Ensure the network connects and the internet works.
WiFi QR Code vs Writing on a Chalkboard
Writing your WiFi password on a chalkboard or piece of paper is messy, insecure, and leads to typing errors. A QR code looks professional and solves all of these problems.
| Feature | TWiFi QR Code | Chalkboard / Paper |
|---|---|---|
| Exposes password to everyone in the room | No | Yes |
| Guests have to type long passwords | No | Yes |
| Risk of typos and connection failures | No | Yes |
| Staff have to repeat the password | No | Yes |
| Works for guests who do not speak your language | Yes | No |
| Looks professional and modern | Yes | No |
