How to Make a WiFi QR Code

To make a WiFi QR code, enter your network name (SSID) and password, choose your encryption type, and download the generated code. When a guest points their phone camera at it, they get a one-tap prompt to join the network — no password typing, no dictating characters across the room. The network details are encoded directly into the QR pattern, so the code keeps working with no service behind it.

Great Places to Put a WiFi QR Code

Cafés & Restaurants

Print it on the table tent or menu so customers connect the moment they sit down.

Guest Rooms & Airbnbs

A small card on the nightstand gets guests online without a phone call to you.

Home Guest WiFi

Stick one on the fridge — visitors scan instead of asking for the password every time.

Offices & Waiting Rooms

Put it at reception so clients and contractors join the guest network on their own.

Events & Venues

Add it to signage so attendees connect fast without staff repeating the password.

Shops & Salons

Keep waiting customers happy with easy WiFi they can join in one scan.

Step-By-Step

  1. Type your network name (SSID) exactly as it appears when you connect — it is case-sensitive.
  2. Enter the password for the network.
  3. Pick the encryption type. WPA covers WPA/WPA2/WPA3 and is right for almost every modern router.
  4. Download the QR code as PNG, JPG, or SVG. SVG stays crisp at any print size.
  5. Test it with an iPhone and an Android phone before you print a batch.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I make a QR code for my WiFi?

Enter your network name (SSID), the password, and pick your encryption type (WPA/WPA2/WPA3 for most home routers). The QR code updates as you type — download it as a PNG, JPG, or SVG and print it. When someone scans it with their phone camera, they get a prompt to join the network without typing the password.

Is the WiFi QR code generator free?

Yes. WiFi QR codes are static — the network details are encoded directly into the pattern — so they are free forever with no watermark, no scan limit, and no expiry. You do not need an account.

Which encryption type should I choose?

Almost all modern home and office routers use WPA (this covers WPA, WPA2, and WPA3), so pick WPA if you are unsure. Choose WEP only for very old equipment, and choose "None" for an open network with no password.

Does the WiFi QR code store my password safely?

Everything is generated right in your browser — your SSID and password are never uploaded to us. That said, the password is encoded in the QR code itself, so anyone who can scan the printed code can join the network. Treat the printout like you would a written-down password: fine on a guest-room card, not on a public street sign.

Will the WiFi QR code work on iPhone and Android?

Yes. iOS 11+ and modern Android phones read WiFi QR codes with the built-in camera app — no separate app needed. Point the camera at the code and tap the "Join Network" prompt.

What happens if I change my WiFi password later?

Because the password is baked into a static QR code, you would need to generate and reprint a new code after changing the password. The old code will simply stop working for the new password.
