WiFi QR code: guests scan, they're connected
Type your network details and download a ready-to-print “Scan to join WiFi” card.
How to make a WiFi QR code
Type your network name exactly as it appears on your router, then the password, and pick the security type. The card on the right updates as you type. Press Download PNG for a 1024 pixel card, or Copy WIFI string if you want to paste the code into another design tool. Print it, stick it on the fridge, the café counter or the guest room wall, and anyone who points a phone camera at it gets a prompt to join.
Where it goes wrong
Most failed scans come from a typo, because names and passwords are case sensitive. Check every character before you print. A WPA password must be at least 8 characters, and we flag shorter ones, since the router would not accept them either. If the security type does not match your router, phones show a join error, so choose WPA unless the router is very old. Tick Hidden network only if your router really hides its name, otherwise some phones will refuse to connect.
Printing and privacy
Print the card at least 5 cm wide with dark ink on white paper; glossy lamination under a strong lamp can cause glare that stops a camera reading it. If you print the password under the code, anyone who sees the card can also read it, so leave that box unticked for public places. Everything is built inside your browser. The network name and password are never uploaded, and there is no account to create. If you change the router password later, make and print a new card, because a static code holds the password itself.
FAQ
Is the WiFi QR code generator really free?
Yes. There is no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on how many cards you make. The code is a static QR, so it never expires.
Is my WiFi password sent anywhere?
No. The code is built in your browser. The network name and password never leave your device and nothing is stored on a server.
Which phones can scan a WiFi QR code?
The built-in camera on iPhone (iOS 11 and later) and on most Android phones (Android 10 and later) reads it and offers to join the network. Older phones may need a scanner app.
What happens if I change my WiFi password?
A static code holds the password itself, so after a change you need to make and print a new card. The old one keeps pointing at the old password.
Which security type should I pick?
Most routers use WPA2 or WPA3, so choose WPA. Pick WEP only for very old equipment and None for an open network. If a phone fails to join, a wrong security type is the usual cause.
