Frequently asked questions
Yes — most modern phone cameras recognize the standard Wi-Fi QR format and offer to join the network directly, without the person needing to type the password.
PNG is a fixed-resolution raster image; SVG is a vector format that scales to any size without quality loss — better for print materials that might be resized.
Yes — higher error correction lets the code still scan correctly even if part of it is damaged, dirty, or partially obscured, at the cost of a visually denser code.
