Wi-Fi QR Code Generator
Let guests join your wireless network by scanning a QR code — supports WPA, WEP, and open networks.

Anyone who can scan this QR code can see your Wi-Fi password. Print it only for trusted guests, and avoid posting it publicly. Credentials are processed locally in your browser — never uploaded.
Sharing a Wi-Fi password by reading it aloud or typing it on a guest’s phone is slow and error-prone. A Wi-Fi QR code encodes your network name, security type, and password into a single image that Android and iOS recognize automatically — tap to connect in seconds. Our free Wi-Fi QR generator follows the standard WIFI: payload format used by major phone makers, supports WPA/WPA2, WEP, and open networks, and runs entirely in your browser so your credentials never leave your device.
How Wi-Fi QR Codes Work
When a guest scans the code, the camera app parses a structured string such as WIFI:T:WPA;S:NetworkName;P:YourPassword;;. The phone then offers to join that network without manual entry. This format is widely
supported on modern smartphones; older devices may still require typing the password. Hidden
networks can be flagged so the SSID is stored even when not broadcast.
How to Create a Wi-Fi QR Code
- Enter your SSID — The exact network name shown in your router or phone Wi-Fi settings.
- Select security — WPA/WPA2 for most networks, WEP for legacy hardware, or Open for password-free guest VLANs.
- Add the password — Required for encrypted networks; special characters are escaped automatically.
- Mark hidden if needed — Enable only if your router does not broadcast the SSID.
- Download and display — Print a card for your Airbnb, office lobby, or event check-in desk.
Practical Use Cases
- Vacation rentals
Frame a QR card near the router for hassle-free guest onboarding.
- Cafés & coworking
Replace handwritten passwords on chalkboards with a scannable sign.
- Home offices
Share a guest VLAN QR without exposing your main network password verbally.
- Events & trade shows
Speed up exhibitor Wi-Fi access for staff and demo devices.
Security Best Practices
Treat a Wi-Fi QR like a written password: display it only where you trust visitors. For public venues, use a dedicated guest network with limited bandwidth and isolated VLANs rather than your primary home SSID. Rotate guest passwords periodically and regenerate the QR when you do. WPA3 routers should still use the WPA option in this tool — phones map it correctly for WPA2/WPA3 mixed mode in most cases.
