Wi-Fi QR Code Generator — Let Guests Connect With a Scan
Enter your network name and password, get a QR code that connects phones to the Wi-Fi when scanned — made in your browser, the password never leaves it.
🔒 Runs in your browser — files never uploaded ⚡ No signup 💯 Free
Create a QR code for your Wi-Fi: guests point their phone camera at it and join the network without typing the password. Enter the network name (SSID), the password and the security type, and download the code as PNG or SVG to print for a guest room, a café, an office lobby or a fridge door.
The code is generated on your device. The password is encoded into the image and never sent to this site.
How to use Wi-Fi QR Code Generator
- Type the network name exactly as it appears on your devices, and the password.
- Pick the security type — WPA/WPA2/WPA3 for almost every modern network. Tick "hidden" only if the network does not broadcast its name.
- Download the PNG or SVG and print it, or show it on a screen.
How a Wi-Fi QR code works
The code holds a short text string in a format both iOS and Android understand — WIFI:T:WPA;S:NetworkName;P:password;;. When the camera app reads it, the phone offers to join that network with those credentials. iPhones have done this since iOS 11 and Android since version 10, with no extra app; older devices can use any QR reader app that supports the Wi-Fi format.
Security type
- WPA / WPA2 / WPA3 — the setting for virtually every router made since 2006. Choose this unless you know otherwise; WPA3 networks use the same code.
- WEP — obsolete and insecure; only for very old equipment.
- None — an open network with no password.
A hidden network (one that does not broadcast its name) needs the "hidden" flag so phones know to look for it.
Printing and placement
Print it at least 3 cm (1.2 in) across so cameras read it from arm's length, with a quiet margin around it. Keep the contrast high — dark modules on a light background. Anyone who can see the code can read the password from it, so it is exactly as secret as the sticker it is printed on: fine for a guest network, unwise for an office network that reaches sensitive systems. Write the password on the sign as well for guests whose phones do not scan.
Other kinds of code: the full QR code generator handles links, text and email; for contact details there is the vCard QR code.
Frequently asked questions
Does scanning a Wi-Fi QR code work on iPhone and Android?
Yes, with the built-in camera app — iOS 11 and later, Android 10 and later. Older phones need a QR reader app that understands the Wi-Fi format; most do.
Which security type should I choose?
WPA/WPA2/WPA3 for practically every network set up since 2006. WEP only for very old routers; None for an open network. If unsure, look at the router's label or settings page.
Is my Wi-Fi password sent to this website?
No. The QR code is generated in your browser and the password goes only into the image you download. Nothing is transmitted or stored.
Can someone read my password from the code?
Yes — the password is inside the code in plain form, so anyone who can scan it can read it. Treat the printed code as you would treat the password written on paper: fine for a guest network, not for a network with access to sensitive systems.
The code scans but the phone does not connect.
Check the network name is exact (case matters), the password is right, and the security type matches the router. A hidden network needs the "hidden" flag. Some corporate networks use enterprise authentication that QR codes cannot carry.
