How does a WiFi QR code work?

A WiFi QR code encodes your network name (SSID), password, and security type into a standard format. When someone scans it with their phone camera, they get a prompt to join the network automatically - no typing needed.

Is it safe to generate a WiFi QR code here?

Yes. Your WiFi credentials are processed entirely in your browser and are never sent to any server.

Which security types are supported?

WPA/WPA2 (most common), WEP (legacy), and open networks with no password.

2D QR Matrix Standards & Printing Guidelines

Quick Response (QR) codes are two-dimensional matrix symbologies standardized under ISO/IEC 18004. Equipped with Reed-Solomon error correction (ranging from Level L at 7% recovery up to Level H at 30% recovery), QR codes allow reliable scanning even if portions of the printed matrix suffer physical abrasion, smudging, or partial obstruction by custom logos.

Quiet Zone & Contrast Ratios

Always preserve a quiet zone border of at least 4 modules around the outer edge of the QR code. Avoid low-contrast color combinations (such as yellow on white); dark modules on light backgrounds deliver the fastest camera decode speeds.

Vector Print & Privacy Security

Export your finished code in SVG vector format for crisp, infinite scalability on large signage, product packaging, and business cards without pixelation. All generation and camera decoding executes 100% locally in your browser memory-no private credentials, URLs, or scans are ever uploaded to a server.

Additional Technical FAQs

What is the minimum recommended print size for reliable scanning?

For standard smartphone camera scanning at close range (0.3–0.5 meters), print QR codes at a minimum size of 2 x 2 cm (0.8 x 0.8 inches). For posters and billboards, use a 10:1 distance-to-size ratio (e.g., a code scanned from 2 meters away should be at least 20 cm wide).

Are generated codes permanent, and do they ever expire?

All codes generated on BeYourTools are static and permanent. The encoded data (such as your URL, text, or barcode number) is directly baked into the graphical modules with zero server redirection, meaning they will function forever without expiration.
