What is a WiFi QR Code?
A WiFi QR Code contains your WiFi network credentials (SSID, password, encryption type). When scanned, it automatically connects the user's device to your WiFi network without requiring them to manually enter the password. Perfect for homes, offices, cafes, hotels, and any location where you want to share WiFi access easily.
Why Use WiFi QR Codes?

Share WiFi credentials securely without displaying passwords publicly. Users only see the password when they scan.
Business Benefits
Perfect for cafes, restaurants, hotels, offices, and events. Improve customer satisfaction and reduce support requests.
How to Use WiFi QR Codes
- Enter WiFi Details: Input your network name (SSID), select encryption type (WPA/WPA2, WEP, or No Password), and enter the WiFi password (if required).
- Set Network Visibility: Indicate if your network is hidden (not broadcasting SSID). This ensures the QR code works correctly for hidden networks.
- Customize Design: Style your QR code with colors, logos, and branding. Make it visually appealing for display.
- Test & Display: Scan with a device to verify it connects correctly, then print and display at your location (tables, walls, reception areas).
