Question 1

Are these QR codes really free? Do they ever expire?

Accepted Answer

Yes.

They’re completely free, with no account, no email address and no subscription.

The QR codes generated here are static QR codes. That means the information is stored directly inside the QR code itself rather than relying on our servers.

Once you’ve downloaded it, it will continue working indefinitely.

Question 2

Do you save my Wi-Fi password or other data?

Accepted Answer

No.

Your Wi-Fi password, website address or text is used only to generate your QR code.

We don’t store your information on our servers, and nothing is retained once the QR code has been created.

Question 3

I don’t know my Wi-Fi security type. What should I choose?

Accepted Answer

For almost everyone, the default option is the correct choice.

Most modern routers use WPA, WPA2 or WPA3 security. Leaving the default setting selected will work for the vast majority of homes and short-term rentals.

Question 4

Can I create QR codes for websites as well?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely.

You can generate QR codes for:

• Digital guidebooks (Touch Stay, Hostfully, etc.)
• Your direct booking website
• Google review links
• House manuals
• Restaurant recommendations
• Local attraction guides
• Any other web page you’d like guests to visit

Question 5

What size should I print my QR code?

Accepted Answer

For reliable scanning, we recommend printing QR codes at least 1.5 × 1.5 inches (4 × 4 cm).

For welcome letters or framed Wi-Fi signs, around 2 × 2 inches usually provides an excellent balance between appearance and scan reliability.

Question 6

Where should I place QR codes in my property?

Accepted Answer

Think about what your guests need first.

A Wi-Fi QR code is most useful somewhere they’ll naturally look shortly after arriving, such as:

• A personalized welcome letter
• A framed sign near the entrance
• The kitchen island
• The living room coffee table

The easier something is to find, the more likely guests are to use it.

Question 7

Can I have too many QR codes?

Accepted Answer

Definitely.

QR codes are incredibly useful, but too many can make a property feel cluttered and impersonal.

Rather than placing QR codes on every wall and appliance, many experienced hosts include them in a personalized welcome letter. Guests know exactly where to look, and the arrival experience feels far more intentional.

Question 8

Why include icons inside the QR codes?

Accepted Answer

Icons help guests immediately understand what they’ll get before they even scan.

A Wi-Fi icon, an open book for your guidebook, or another familiar symbol provides visual reassurance and often encourages more scans than a plain black square.

Question 9

Will these QR codes work on iPhone and Android?

Accepted Answer

Yes.

Modern iPhone and Android devices can scan QR codes directly using their built-in camera app.

Guests simply point their camera at the code and tap the notification that appears.

Question 10

Can I edit a QR code after I’ve printed it?

Accepted Answer

No.

Because these are static QR codes, the information cannot be changed after they’ve been created.

If your Wi-Fi password, website address or other information changes, simply generate a new QR code. It only takes a few seconds.
