How to Create a WiFi QR Code

Stop spelling out your WiFi password. Create a QR code that lets guests connect instantly by scanning with their phone camera.

Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Open the WiFi QR Code Generator
  2. Enter your network name (SSID) — This is the name that appears in WiFi settings
  3. Enter your password — The QR code encrypts it so it's not readable by humans
  4. Choose encryption type — WPA/WPA2 for most modern networks, WEP for older ones
  5. Customize colors (optional) — Match your brand or interior design
  6. Download as PNG or SVG — Print it, frame it, or stick it on the wall

Where to Use WiFi QR Codes

  • Cafés & Restaurants — Print on table cards or near the counter
  • Hotels & Airbnbs — Include in welcome packets
  • Offices — Display in meeting rooms for guest WiFi
  • Home — Frame near the router for visitors
  • Events — Include on badges or signage

Tips for Better WiFi QR Codes

  • Use high contrast colors — dark foreground on light background scans best
  • Print at least 2cm × 2cm for reliable scanning
  • Test your QR code with multiple phones before printing
  • If you change your WiFi password, you'll need a new QR code

How WiFi QR Codes Work

WiFi QR codes use the standard WIFI:T:WPA;S:NetworkName;P:Password;; format recognized by iOS (11+) and Android phones. When scanned, the phone automatically prompts to join the network — no typing required.

Privacy & Security

Our generator creates QR codes entirely in your browser. Your WiFi credentials are never sent to any server. The QR code itself contains the password in encoded form, so place it where only authorized people can scan it.
