WiFi QR Code Generator
Enter your network name and password once, and this tool builds a QR code that connects a phone to your WiFi automatically when scanned — no typing a long password on a tiny keyboard. Just want a plain link or text code instead? Try the basic QR Code Generator. Running a cafe or Airbnb? Add your logo to the code with the QR Code Logo Generator for a more polished printed sign.

How to Use the WiFi QR Code Generator
- Type your network name exactly as it appears in your WiFi settings, including capitalization.
- Enter the network password. Check Show password if you want to double-check it before downloading.
- Choose the encryption type your router uses — most home and office networks use WPA/WPA2/WPA3. Select None (open network) if the network has no password.
- Check Hidden Network only if your router is configured to not broadcast its SSID.
- Watch the preview update automatically, pick a download size, and save as a PNG for most uses or an SVG if you need to resize it for large printing without losing quality.
- Print the code and post it somewhere guests will see it, like an entryway, welcome binder, or table tent.
Is It Safe to Post a WiFi QR Code?
A WiFi QR code contains your network name and password in plain text inside the code itself — anyone who scans it joins the network instantly, and anyone with the right tools can technically decode the QR image and extract the password back out again. That's the tradeoff for the convenience: the code is exactly as sensitive as the password it contains.
For a home network shared with family and close friends, this is a low-risk convenience. For a business, coffee shop, waiting room, or short-term rental where the code will be visible to strangers or posted publicly, it's worth setting up a separate guest network with its own password and no access to your other devices or files, and generating the QR code for that guest network instead of your main one.
Tips for Printing Your Code
A WiFi QR code is most useful when guests can actually find it. Print it at a reasonable size (at least 1.5 inches square) and place it somewhere people naturally look when they walk in — near the door, on a side table, or next to the TV remote.
If you're setting one up for guests or short-term rental visitors on a regular basis, a small acrylic sign holder keeps a printed card upright on a counter or table without curling or getting shuffled into a drawer.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this work on both iPhone and Android?
Yes. Both platforms can scan a WiFi QR code with the native camera app and connect automatically — no extra app required. iPhones have supported this since iOS 11, and Android phones since roughly Android 10.
What if my password has special characters?
No problem. Characters that have special meaning in the WiFi QR format — backslashes, semicolons, commas, and colons — are automatically escaped for you, so any password will encode correctly.
Does the code stop working if I change my password?
Yes. The QR code only contains the credentials you entered when you generated it. If you change your WiFi password, generate and print a new code with the updated password.
Can I make a code for a hidden network?
Yes. Check the Hidden Network box and the generated code will tell the phone to look for and join the network even though it isn't publicly broadcasting its name.
Is my password sent anywhere?
No. Everything is generated locally in your browser — your network name and password are never uploaded or sent to a server.
