WiFi QR code

Encode your network name, password, and security type in a QR. Guests scan once and their phone auto-joins — no more typing long WPA passwords on a tiny keyboard.

Open the generator with this type pre-filled

Free, no signup, runs in your browser. The QR is generated on your device, never sent to a server.

When to use it

  • Print a "Scan to join the WiFi" card for cafés, B&Bs, and waiting rooms

  • Put the QR on the back of the router or a kitchen counter so guests can self-serve

  • Add it to conference signage so attendees skip the password on the welcome slide

Tips for clean scans

01

Most home networks use WPA/WPA2 — pick WPA unless you have a specific reason not to

02

For open networks with no password, select "No password" — do not leave the password field empty with WPA selected

03

Print at least 4×4 cm (1.5×1.5 in) so phones can lock on from across a table

Common questions

Is the WiFi password stored in the QR safe?

Anyone who scans can see the password. Don't put the QR where the public can photograph it if you're worried about password sharing.

Does this work on iPhone and Android?

Yes — both iOS 11+ and Android 10+ recognize WIFI: URIs natively and prompt to join.
