Wi-Fi QR Code Generator

How Wi-Fi QR codes work

Android and iPhone cameras understand a special Wi-Fi QR format containing the network name, security type and password. When scanned, the phone offers to join the network straight away. It’s perfect for homes, offices, cafés, clinics, homestays and events, and it keeps complex passwords secure because nobody needs to read them aloud.

Getting the details right

• Network name: must match exactly, including capital letters and spaces. Check it in your phone’s Wi-Fi list.
• Security: most modern routers use WPA2 or WPA3, which is the “WPA” option. Choose WEP only for very old routers, and “No password” for open networks.
• Special characters in names or passwords (like ; , : or quotes) are escaped automatically, a common cause of failures with other generators.

Printing and placement

Print the QR at least 4–5 cm wide and place it where guests can easily scan it: a reception desk, a table tent, a fridge magnet or a guest room. Add a line like “Scan to join Wi-Fi” and the network name. SVG downloads print sharply at any size.

Security tips

• Anyone who can see the QR can join your network. For businesses, use a separate guest network, which most routers support.
• If you change the Wi-Fi password, create and print a new QR code.
• Your password is converted to a QR image entirely in your browser and never sent to our servers.
