Free WiFi QR Code Generator
Stop reading your WiFi password out loud. Create a WiFi QR code your guests scan once to connect automatically. No sign-up, no account, no watermark, and no expiration — the code is built in your browser and is yours to keep.
Create your WiFi QR code free →How to make a WiFi QR code
- Open the free QR code generator and select the WiFi type.
- Enter your network name (SSID) exactly as it appears, including capital letters and spaces.
- Enter the password and choose the security type — WPA/WPA2 covers almost every modern home and office network. Pick None only for genuinely open networks.
- If your network is hidden, toggle the hidden network option so phones know to search for it.
- Generate the code, then download it as a crisp PNG or scalable SVG for print.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. Modern phones decode WiFi QR codes with the built-in camera — no separate app:
| Device | Minimum version | How to scan |
|---|---|---|
| iPhone / iPad | iOS 11+ | Open Camera, point at the code, tap the network banner |
| Android | Android 10+ | Open Camera or Google Lens, tap "Join network" |
| Older Android | Android 9 and below | Use any free QR scanner app, then confirm the join prompt |
Where a WiFi QR code pays off
- Cafés and restaurants: a small table tent stops staff repeating the password all day.
- Short-term rentals: put the code in the welcome binder so guests connect before they unpack.
- Offices and waiting rooms: a guest-network code keeps visitors off your internal network.
- Home: a fridge magnet or framed sign means you never spell out a 20-character password again.
- Events and pop-ups: print it on signage so attendees self-serve.
Best practices that prevent failed scans
- Use a guest network. It isolates visitors from your main devices and lets you rotate that password without touching your own gear.
- Mind contrast and quiet zone. Keep the code dark on a light background and leave clear white space around it. Low contrast is the most common reason a code will not scan.
- Size for distance. The printed code should be at least one tenth of the scanning distance — about 3 cm for a tabletop card, 20 cm for a wall sign read from across a room.
- Test before you print a batch. Scan it with one iPhone and one Android first.
- Reprint after a password change. WiFi codes are static by design; a new password means a new code.
Is it safe?
The QR code is generated entirely in your browser. Your SSID and password are never uploaded to a server, logged, or stored. For any shared or public space, the strongest precaution is still network design: put guests on a dedicated guest SSID so the QR code only ever exposes a network that has nothing sensitive on it.
WiFi QR code FAQ
- Is the WiFi QR code generator really free?
- Yes — free with no sign-up, no account, no watermark, and no expiration. The code is generated locally in your browser.
- Does a WiFi QR code work on iPhone and Android?
- Yes. iOS 11+ and Android 10+ connect automatically from the built-in camera. Older Android phones may need a free scanner app.
- Is it safe to put my WiFi password in a QR code?
- The code is created in your browser and never uploaded. For shared spaces, put guests on a separate guest network so your main devices stay isolated.
- What happens if I change my WiFi password?
- The code stops working because WiFi codes are static. Generate a new one and reprint — under a minute, still free.
- Can I use this for a hidden network?
- Yes. Enable the hidden network option so phones search for the non-broadcast SSID.
- What size should I print it?
- At least one tenth of the scanning distance: ~3 cm for a card read at 30 cm, ~20 cm for a sign read at 2 m.
