How to create a Wi-Fi QR code
- Enter your network name (SSID) exactly as it appears in your Wi-Fi list, including upper and lower case.
- Enter the password and choose the security type (WPA/WPA2/WPA3 for most routers).
- Customize it with your logo and colors so it matches your home, venue or brand.
- Download and test by scanning it with your phone before you print it.
Where to use a Wi-Fi QR code
Cafés & restaurants
Put it on table tents, menus or the counter so customers can connect without asking staff.
Airbnb & hotels
Add it to your welcome book or frame it by the door. Guests connect in seconds.
Offices & events
Share the guest network in meeting rooms, receptions and conference badges.
At home
Stick it on the fridge for visitors, or print it on the back of your router.
Tips for a Wi-Fi QR code that works first time
- Double-check the network name: it is case-sensitive, so "MyWiFi" and "mywifi" are different networks.
- Use a guest network for public places to keep your main network private.
- Add a short caption such as "Scan to join our Wi-Fi" next to the code so people know what it does.
- Print it at least 3 × 3 cm (1.2 × 1.2 in). Wi-Fi codes contain more data than a short link, so bigger is safer.
Frequently asked questions
How do I connect to Wi-Fi with a QR code?
Open the camera app on your phone and point it at the QR code. A "Join network" notification appears; tap it and the phone connects without typing the password. This works on iPhone (iOS 11 and later) and on Android 10 and later, and most older Android phones can use Google Lens.
Is it safe to put my Wi-Fi password in a QR code?
The password is stored inside the QR code, so anyone who can scan it can join your network, just as if you had told them the password. Only display it where you would be comfortable sharing the password. For businesses, use a separate guest network. This generator runs in your browser, so we never see your password.
What happens if I change my Wi-Fi password?
The QR code stores the password itself, so it stops working when you change the password. Simply create a new Wi-Fi QR code here with the new password and replace the printed one.
Which security type should I choose?
Choose WPA / WPA2 / WPA3 for almost every modern router. Pick WEP only for very old equipment, and "None" for open networks without a password. If you are unsure, check the Wi-Fi settings on your router or on a connected laptop.
Does the Wi-Fi QR code work for hidden networks?
Yes. Tick "Hidden network" so phones know to connect to a network that does not broadcast its name.
Can I add my logo to a Wi-Fi QR code?
Yes. Upload your logo and pick your colors. Error correction is set to the highest level automatically so the code still scans reliably with a logo in the middle.
