Wi-Fi QR Code Generator
Let guests join your Wi-Fi with one scan — no spelling out the password, no typos. Free, generated entirely in your browser, and the password is never uploaded anywhere. Download a print-ready SVG for the wall or a PNG for a table card.
Make a Wi-Fi QR code in three steps
- Open the Wi-Fi tab. Go to the generator's Wi-Fi tab. Nothing to install, no account, free for commercial use.
- Enter your network details. Type the network name (SSID) exactly as it appears in your Wi-Fi settings and enter the password. Pick the security type — WPA/WPA2/WPA3 is correct for almost every modern router. Tick Hidden network only if your router does not broadcast its name.
- Download, test, print. Download the SVG (best for print) or PNG, scan it once with your own phone to confirm it joins, then print it and put it where guests will look for it.
How a Wi-Fi QR code works
The code contains a short standard string in the WIFI: format — the same convention every
phone camera understands. For example, a network called MyCafe with the password
coffee123 is encoded as WIFI:T:WPA;S:MyCafe;P:coffee123;;. When a phone scans it,
the camera app reads that string and offers to join the network — the phone types the password so nobody
else has to. Because the credentials live inside the image itself, the code is
static: it works forever, with no service behind it that
could shut down or start charging.
Where a Wi-Fi QR code earns its keep
Anywhere people ask "what's the Wi-Fi password?" — a framed card at a cafe counter or on each table, the entry hall of a guesthouse or rental, a meeting-room wall in the office for visitors, or the booth of an exhibition stand. Print it at least 3 cm wide for arm's-length scanning, keep the blank margin around the code, and use dark-on-light colors. The QR code guide covers print sizing and scan troubleshooting in detail.
Is it safe to put your password in a QR code?
Two separate questions hide in there. Is the generator safe? This one is — generation happens 100% in your browser, so the network name and password never leave your device; there is no server that could store or leak them. Is displaying the code safe? A Wi-Fi QR code is exactly as public as the place you post it: anyone who can scan it can join, just as anyone who can read a password on a chalkboard can join. Post it where your guests are, use a guest network if your router offers one, and regenerate the code when you rotate the password. More on generator privacy in are QR code generators safe?
FAQ
Is my Wi-Fi password uploaded when I make the QR code?
No. This generator runs entirely in your browser — the network name and password are encoded into the image on your device and never sent to any server.
Does a Wi-Fi QR code work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. The built-in camera app on iPhone (iOS 11+) and Android (Google Lens or the
native camera) recognizes the standard WIFI: format and offers to join the network with
one tap. No extra app is needed.
Does the QR code stop working if I change my Wi-Fi password?
The code encodes the credentials you entered, so it keeps offering the old password until you generate a new code. The code itself never expires — regenerate and reprint it whenever the password changes.
Which security type should I choose?
Choose WPA/WPA2/WPA3 — it covers virtually every router made in the last decade, including WPA3 networks. WEP exists only for very old legacy equipment, and Open is for networks with no password.
