Stop telling people your WiFi password. A WiFi QR code lets guests connect just by pointing their phone camera at it. No typing, no spelling, no asking the waiter "what was that again?"
This free WiFi QR code generator works with every router (WPA, WPA2, WPA3, WEP, and open networks) and every modern phone. No app required.
Works with any phone camera • Static free forever • Dynamic from $5/month
A WiFi QR code generator like this one creates a small image that contains your WiFi network details: the network name, the password, and the security type. When someone scans it with their phone camera, their phone offers to join the network. They tap "yes" and they're connected.
The code follows a simple format that's built into every iPhone (iOS 11 and later) and every Android phone (Android 10 and later). The encoded text inside looks like this: WIFI:T:WPA;S:YourNetworkName;P:YourPassword;;. You never have to write that yourself, our generator handles the formatting.
The whole point is to skip the slow part of giving people WiFi: spelling out a 20-character password while they type on their phone. Print one QR code, stick it on the wall, done.
Anywhere people might ask for your WiFi password. The most common spots:
On the welcome card, the nightstand, or the back of the room door. Guests connect the second they walk in, without calling reception or hunting for a password card that's already lost. More QR ideas for hotels.
On the table tent, the menu, or the receipt. Customers connect once and stay longer, which means they order more. Stops your staff from repeating the WiFi password fifty times a day.
Print one for your guest network. Stick it on the reception desk and in every meeting room. Clients, contractors, and visiting auditors connect themselves without bothering anyone in IT.
For salons, dental clinics, kirana shops, boutiques, tuition centres, anywhere customers wait. People stay longer and feel looked after when WiFi is one tap away.
On the badge, on the screen behind the stage, on every printed programme. Hundreds of people connect at once without a crowd at the help desk or someone shouting credentials.
On each desk, in phone booths, in the kitchen. New day-pass members and visiting clients connect without needing to find a community manager.
Mostly yes, with one thing to watch.
A WiFi QR code holds your network name and password, the same details you would write on a card or tell someone out loud. The QR itself isn't doing anything risky. Someone who scans it gets the same access they would get if you handed them a note.
Two safety tips for businesses:
Use a separate guest WiFi network with its own password. Most modern routers let you set this up in five minutes. If a password gets out, you change just the guest one without disrupting your main work network.
For very sensitive networks (offices handling financial data, healthcare, government), don't use a WiFi QR code at all. Hand out access manually or use a managed network with a separate authentication system.
For everyone else (cafés, salons, restaurants, hotels, homes, classrooms), a WiFi QR code is the safe, normal way to share access.
The network name and password are locked into the QR forever. If you change your WiFi password, the printed QR stops working. You'd need to make and print a new one.
Free to make. No signup. Good for home WiFi, one-off events, or businesses where you almost never change the password.
→ Make a static QR codeA dynamic WiFi QR code stays the same once printed, but you can update the network name, password, or security type anytime from your dashboard. The customer still scans the same code and connects to the right network.
This matters more than people realise. Imagine you're a restaurant. You've printed 40 table tents with your WiFi QR. Six months in, you upgrade your router and the password changes. With a static QR, every one of those table tents is now useless. With a dynamic QR, you change the password once on your phone and every table tent still works.
You also see scan analytics: how many guests connected, when, and where. Useful for hotels with multiple floors or restaurants comparing two locations. From $5/month (₹400/month). 3-day free trial.
→ Try the dynamic QR generator freeThree steps with this WiFi QR code generator:
The first step is the SSID, the name that shows up when phones search for WiFi. Capital letters and spaces count, so type it exactly as it appears. If you're not sure, check your router or your phone's WiFi settings.
Type the password exactly as you set it (case-sensitive). Then pick the security: WPA/WPA2 for most routers, WPA3 for newer ones, WEP for very old ones, or "no password" if your network is open. If you don't know which one, WPA/WPA2 is right 95% of the time.
Add your business logo to the centre, pick colours that match your brand. Download as PNG (most common, fine for printing), SVG (for printing big, like a wall poster), or PDF.
Yes. Static WiFi QRs (where the password is locked in) are free, no signup needed. Dynamic WiFi QRs (where you can update the password later and see scan stats) start at $5/month with a 3-day free trial.
No. iPhones (iOS 11 or later) and Android phones (Android 10 or later) read WiFi QR codes through the built-in camera app. That covers basically every phone made in the last seven years. No app downloads, no scanner needed.
With a dynamic WiFi QR, yes. Change the password from your dashboard and the same printed QR code starts using the new password right away. With a static QR, you would need to make a new one.
We support hidden networks too. There's a "Hidden network" checkbox in the generator. Tick it and the QR will tell phones to connect to the hidden SSID without searching for it first.
Yes. We support WPA, WPA2, WPA3, WEP, and open networks. WPA3 is the newest standard and most phones from 2020 onwards support it.
Yes. With dynamic QRs, you can add a centre logo, change the colours, and pick a dot or corner style. Static QRs are simpler (just the standard black-on-white code) but still scan fine.
Yes. With a dynamic WiFi QR code, you can add a text label or caption frame around the code, such as "Scan for WiFi" or your business name. This makes the QR easier to recognise on table tents, posters, or wall signs. Static QR codes can't be edited with text but you can add your own caption when you print them.
For table tents, room cards, or counter signs: at least 2×2 inches (5×5 cm). For wall posters scanned from across a room: 4×4 inches or more. The rule of thumb: the QR should be at least 1/10th the distance someone will scan from.
Most businesses use more than one QR type. Pair your WiFi QR with:
Use this free WiFi QR code generator to make a code in 30 seconds. No signup for the static version. Print it once and never spell out the password again.
