Wi-Fi QR codes

Nobody enjoys spelling a Wi-Fi password across a counter. A Wi-Fi QR code carries the network name, encryption type, and password in the pattern itself — one scan and the phone joins. It works offline, needs no account to scan, and never expires.

Scan for Wi-Fi

Wi-Fi type

In the editor: Pick the Wi-Fi type in the editor and enter your network name, encryption (WPA for almost everyone), and password. This one stays static — the credentials live in the pattern, so there is nothing to redirect.

Three tips from the print shop.

Settle the password before you print

Wi-Fi codes are static — the credentials are baked into the pattern. If you rotate the password, the print is stale. Pick a password you can live with, then print.

Say what the code does

A bare code gets ignored. Add a frame with the text 'Scan for Wi-Fi' in the editor, and place it where people sit down — at eye level near tables beats behind the register.

Remember the password is readable

Anyone who scans the code can see the credentials, so use it for guest networks only. Keep staff and point-of-sale systems on a separate network.

Asked before every print run.

Does it work on both iPhone and Android?

Yes. iOS and Android both read the standard WIFI: format natively — the camera shows a 'Join network' prompt, no app required.

What happens if I change the Wi-Fi password?

The printed code stops working, because the password is encoded in the pattern itself. Wi-Fi codes cannot be dynamic — plan the password first, then print.

Is my password safe in a QR code?

The password is readable by anyone who scans, so treat the code like a chalkboard with the password on it. Use it for guest networks and keep internal systems elsewhere.

Also printing for restaurant menus, business cards, instagram or events?

Print it once. Point it anywhere.

Design the code in the editor, export it print-ready, and keep the destination in your hands long after the ink dries.
