Overview

What is a WiFi QR code?

A WiFi QR code holds your network name (SSID), password and security type in a standard format that phone cameras understand. When a guest scans it, iPhone and Android show a “Join network” prompt and connect without anyone typing a sixteen-character password. It is the quickest way to share WiFi at home, in a café, an office or an Airbnb.

The code is static: the credentials are written into the pattern and the code works offline, forever, and without our servers. That also means if you change your router password you need a new code — the generator makes that a ten-second job, and your design settings are saved in the browser.

Use cases

Where to put your WiFi code

Any place where people ask “what’s the WiFi password?” is a place for one.

Home and guest rooms

Stick a framed code on the fridge or in the guest room so friends connect without interrupting you.

Cafés and restaurants

Print it on table tents, menus or the counter. Customers get online faster and staff stop answering the same question.

Offices and meeting rooms

Put the guest-network code at reception and in meeting rooms so visitors connect to the right network, not the internal one.

Airbnb and rentals

Add the code to the welcome book. Guests get online the moment they arrive, and reviews mention it.

Classrooms and events

Show the code on a projector slide or a badge so a whole room joins the event network in seconds.

Separate guest networks

Pair the code with a guest SSID so visitors never see your private devices, and rotate it whenever you like.

How it works

How to make a WiFi QR code

You need three things from your router: the network name, the password and the security type.

  1. 1

    Enter network details

    Type the exact network name (SSID) and password. Choose WPA/WPA2/WPA3 for almost every modern router, WEP for very old ones, or None for open networks.

  2. 2

    Design the code

    Pick colors that match your café or home, add a WiFi icon or logo, and check the live scan score stays green.

  3. 3

    Print and test

    Download PNG for quick printing or SVG/PDF for signs. Scan it with your own phone once before putting it on the wall.

Best practices

Tips for first-try connections

Small details decide whether a guest connects on the first try.

  • Match the SSID exactly

    Network names are case-sensitive. “Cafe_Guest” and “cafe_guest” are different networks, so copy the name from your router settings.

  • Mark hidden networks

    If your network does not broadcast its name, tick “Hidden network” so phones know to look for it.

  • Label the code

    Add a short caption such as “Scan to join WiFi” under the code. People scan more when they know what it does.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I create a QR code for my WiFi?

Select WiFi in the generator above, enter your network name, password and security type, then download the WiFi QR code. It is free, takes less than a minute and needs no account.

How do I scan a WiFi QR code on iPhone?

Open the Camera app and point it at the code. A banner saying “Join network” appears; tap it and the iPhone connects. This works on iOS 11 and later without any extra app.

How do I scan it on Android?

Open the camera or Google Lens and aim at the code, then tap “Connect”. On most Android phones you can also go to Settings › WiFi and tap the QR icon next to “Add network”.

Is it safe to share WiFi with a QR code?

It is as safe as telling someone the password, because anyone who scans the code can read it. For public places, put the code on a separate guest network and change the password regularly.

Does a WiFi QR code expire?

No. The credentials are stored inside the code, so it works as long as the network name and password stay the same. If you change the password, create a new code.

Can I see the WiFi password from a QR code?

Yes, many scanner apps show the decoded text, including the password. That is why the code should only be displayed where you would be happy to share the password.

How do I share WiFi from my phone with a QR code?

Android 10 and later can show a sharing code under Settings › WiFi › your network › Share. iPhone has no built-in QR option, so generating a code here is the easiest route.

Which security type should I choose?

Choose WPA/WPA2/WPA3 for almost every router made in the last fifteen years. Select WEP only for very old equipment and None for open networks without a password.

Why is my WiFi QR code not connecting?

Check that the network name and password match exactly, including capital letters and spaces, and that the security type is right. Also make sure the phone is within range of the router.

Does it work for hidden networks?

Yes. Tick “Hidden network” before downloading so the code tells the phone to search for a network that does not broadcast its name.

Can I connect a laptop by scanning?

Laptops rarely have a QR scanner, but Windows 11 can read codes through the Camera app. The usual route is to scan with a phone, or type the password shown under the code.

Can I customize the design?

Yes. Change colors, dot and corner shapes, add a logo or a frame, or start from a template. The scan score checks every change so your custom code still connects.
