WiFi QR Code Generator
Create a QR code that connects a phone to your WiFi network automatically — scan, no typing the password.
How to create a WiFi QR code in 3 steps
-
Enter your network details
Type your WiFi network name (SSID) and password exactly as they appear on your router — capitalization matters.
-
Choose the security type
Select WPA/WPA2 (the standard on almost all modern routers), WEP for older networks, or None for an open network.
-
Generate and share the code
Click "Generate QR code", then download or display it — anyone who scans it connects automatically, no typing required.
Why use this WiFi QR code generator

What is a WiFi QR code?
A WiFi QR code is a standard QR code that encodes your network's name (SSID), password, and security type in a single string, following a format most phones already understand. Scanning it doesn't open a link — it triggers the phone's WiFi settings to join that network directly.
This tool builds that string for you and turns it into a scannable code, so you never have to type or share the raw text. The code is static: once generated, it always points to the same network name and password, so if you change your WiFi password later, you'll need to generate a new code.
How to scan a WiFi QR code
-
On iPhone (iOS 11+)
Open the Camera app, point it at the code, then tap the notification that appears at the top of the screen — your phone joins the network automatically.
-
On Android (10+)
Open the Camera app (or a QR scanner app if your phone doesn't scan directly from Camera), point it at the code, and tap Connect when prompted.
Tips for a WiFi QR code that connects every time
- Double-check the password — typos are the most common reason a WiFi QR code fails; this tool doesn't validate your input against your router.
- Match the security type to your router — if you pick WPA/WPA2 but your network is actually WEP or open, the code won't connect.
- Keep it private — anyone who scans the code gets network access, so treat a printed code the same way you'd treat the password itself.
- Re-generate after a password change — the code is static, so an old one silently stops working the moment you change your WiFi password.
- Test it yourself first — scan the code with your own phone before printing or handing it to guests.
Frequently asked questions
- How does a WiFi QR code work?
- It encodes your network name, password, and security type in a standard format phones understand. Scanning it connects the phone to the network without typing the password.
- Which phones support scanning WiFi QR codes?
- Most modern iPhone (iOS 11+) and Android (10+) camera apps can scan and connect directly, no extra app needed.
- Is my WiFi password sent anywhere?
- No. The QR code is generated entirely in your browser — your network name and password never leave your device.
- Can I print this and put it on my wall?
- Yes — that is the most common use case, for a home, office, or cafe guest network.
- How do I scan a WiFi QR code on iPhone or Android?
- On iPhone, open the Camera app and tap the notification that appears when you point it at the code. On Android, open the Camera app (or a QR scanner app) and tap Connect when prompted.
- Does the WiFi QR code still work if I change my password later?
- No — the code is static and encodes your password at the moment you generate it. If you change your WiFi password, generate and print a new code.
- Is a WiFi QR code safe to share publicly?
- Treat it like the password itself: anyone who scans it can join that network. For a guest network with its own password, that's usually fine; for your main network, only share the code with people you'd trust with the password directly.
- Can I use this for a business or guest WiFi network?
- Yes — this is one of the most common uses, from cafes and offices to Airbnb rentals. Just make sure you encode the guest network's own credentials, not your private network's.
