Frequently asked questions
The WiFi QR payload is built in your browser and is not uploaded to a QR Forge application server. If you explicitly save the QR design, its payload remains in this browser's local storage until removed or cleared. Analytics and advertising services are separate; see our Privacy Policy for their data practices.
Support for recognizing WiFi QR payloads varies by device, operating-system version, and camera or scanner app. Test the code with the devices your guests are likely to use.
Choose WPA2 for modern routers (most common). WEP is outdated and insecure. 'No password' is for open/public networks.
Yes — toggle 'Hidden network' and the QR payload will include the H:true flag. Devices and scanning apps vary in how they handle hidden networks, so test it with the target device.
SVG gives you infinite sharpness at any print size. For digital use, PNG at 400px+ is ideal.
Yes — upload your logo in the Logo tab. A logo can cover QR modules, so consider a higher error-correction level and test the finished code; this does not guarantee that every device will scan it.
