Free WiFi QR Code Generator
Let guests join your WiFi with one scan. No typing, no spelling out passwords.
How to make a WiFi QR code
- Step 1
Enter your network
Type your network name (SSID) and password exactly as they appear on your router, including capitals.
- Step 2
Pick the security type
Most networks use WPA2 or WPA3, which is the default. Choose None for open guest networks.
- Step 3
Download and print
Save it as a PNG or SVG, then print it for a fridge, reception desk or welcome book.
Where a WiFi QR code saves time
- Holiday lets and Airbnbs. Put it in the welcome book or on the fridge so guests are online before they unpack, without messaging you for the password.
- Cafés, pubs and restaurants. A small code on each table or by the till stops staff spelling out the password all day.
- Offices and meeting rooms. Share the guest network with visitors without writing the password on a whiteboard.
- At home. Friends and family can join with their camera, and you never have to dig out the router sticker again.
Your password stays private
This generator runs entirely in your browser. Your network name and password are turned into a QR code on your own device and are never sent to, or stored on, our servers. Anyone who scans the printed code can see the password though, so only put it where you would happily share the password itself.

Frequently asked questions
Which phones can scan a WiFi QR code?
iPhones running iOS 11 or later and most Android phones from the last several years can join straight from the built-in camera app. Older Android phones can use Google Lens or a QR scanner app.
Is it safe to put my WiFi password in a QR code?
The code is generated in your browser and the password is never uploaded. Once printed, anyone who scans it can join and see the password, so for public spaces use a separate guest network rather than your main one.
What happens if I change my WiFi password?
The old code stops working, because the password is stored in the code itself. Make a new code with the new password and replace the printed one.
Does it work with hidden networks?
Yes. Tick Hidden network so phones know to look for a network that is not broadcasting its name.
Which security type should I choose?
Choose WPA / WPA2 / WPA3 for almost every modern router. Only choose WEP if your router is very old and set to WEP, and None if your network has no password.
