WiFi QR Code Generator
Create a QR code that lets anyone connect to your WiFi network in one scan. The QR stores your network name (SSID), password, and encryption type; iOS and Android recognise it natively and prompt to join — no manual password typing. Works for home guest networks, cafes, restaurants, hotels, Airbnbs, offices, salons, and anywhere you hand out WiFi access. Print it, frame it, stick it on a table, or drop it in your welcome guide.

- 6
Print, laminate, and place it where guests will see it

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe to share my WiFi password via QR code?
Yes. A WiFi QR code is just a shortcut for the same password you'd share verbally — nothing more. For extra security on a business network, generate a separate guest SSID with its own password and share only that QR. Anyone with line-of-sight to your sign can scan it, so treat the QR like a visible password.
Does it work on both iPhone and Android?
Yes. iOS 11+ (2017 and later) and Android 10+ natively support WiFi QR codes in the default camera app. The device reads the QR and prompts the user to join the network in one tap.
What encryption type should I choose?
Most modern routers use WPA2 or WPA3; pick "WPA/WPA2" for those. Use "WEP" only if you're on an old router that can't do WPA. For open networks (guest hotspot with no password), pick "nopass".
How do I create a WiFi QR code for my restaurant or cafe?
Enter your guest-network SSID and password, choose a style that matches your branding, add a label frame like "Free WiFi — Scan to Connect", and download the PNG. Print it on a 4×6 or 5×7 card and place it on every table or at the counter. A laminated version lasts longer with spills.
Can hotels use WiFi QR codes for guest rooms?
Yes — it's one of the highest-ROI uses. Generate one QR per network (most hotels have one main network for the whole property), include it in the welcome packet on the desk and the back of the door card. Guests save ~30 seconds of typing per device.
Why isn't my WiFi QR code connecting?
Three usual causes: (1) typo in the SSID or password — both are case-sensitive; (2) wrong encryption type — WPA2 and WPA3 use the same "WPA/WPA2" setting in the generator but WEP is different; (3) hidden network not flagged — if your SSID doesn't broadcast, tick the "hidden" checkbox. Also, some older Android devices ignore WiFi QR codes from third-party camera apps — use the stock camera.
Does it work with a hidden (non-broadcast) network?
Yes. Tick the "Hidden network" option when generating. The QR then encodes an extra flag so the phone knows to search for an invisible SSID rather than expecting to see it in the nearby-networks list.
Does the WiFi QR code expire?
No. A static WiFi QR contains the password directly in the image, so it works as long as you keep the password the same. If you change your WiFi password, regenerate a new QR — the old one stops working on that change.
Can I print a WiFi QR code on a sign?
Yes, that's the main use case. Download the SVG for crisp print at any size — A4 sign, business card, table tent, or a small sticker. We recommend the PDF format for print shops. Add a frame label like "Free WiFi" or "Connect Here" for context.
