WiFi QR Code Generator: Free Instant Network Login Maker
Generate a scannable WiFi QR code from your network name and password. Guests scan and connect automatically, no typing passwords, works with WPA, WEP, or open networks.
Enter your network name above to generate a QR code.
What this tool does
This tool encodes your WiFi network name, password, and security type into a standard WiFi QR code format that phones and tablets recognize automatically. Enter your SSID and password, choose the security type, optionally mark the network as hidden, and get an instant QR code you can download as a PNG and print or display for guests.
Who it's for
Anyone who repeats their WiFi password out loud too often: Airbnb and short-term rental hosts, cafes and small businesses offering guest WiFi, home users tired of spelling out passwords for visitors, and offices that want a quick way to get contractors or guests online without sharing the password verbally.
How to use it
- Enter your network name exactly as it appears on your router or device WiFi list.
- Choose the security type: WPA/WPA2, WEP, or None for an open network.
- Enter the password, this is skipped automatically if you selected None.
- Toggle hidden network on if your WiFi does not broadcast its name.
- Download the QR code PNG and print it or display it on a screen near your router.
Good to know
This QR format is widely supported on modern Android and iOS devices through the native camera app, but very old phones or some third-party QR scanner apps may not recognize the WiFi format and will just show the raw text instead of offering to connect. The password is encoded directly into the QR code image, so treat a printed or shared code with the same care as the password itself.
Frequently asked questions
Will scanning this QR code actually connect my phone to WiFi automatically?
On most modern iPhones and Android phones, scanning with the built-in camera app shows a notification to join the network, and tapping it connects automatically without typing the password. Some older devices or third-party scanner apps may only display the encoded text instead of offering to connect.
Is it safe to print my WiFi password in a QR code?
The QR code contains your actual password encoded inside it, so anyone who scans it can connect to your network, exactly as if you had told them the password directly. Treat a printed WiFi QR code the same way you would treat the password itself, and avoid posting it somewhere the public can freely photograph it if you want to restrict access.
What security type should I choose if I'm not sure?
Most home and business routers set up in the last several years use WPA2, which falls under the WPA/WPA2 option here. Check your router's admin panel or the WiFi settings on a connected device if you are unsure, since selecting the wrong type will generate a QR code that fails to connect.
What does the hidden network toggle do?
Turning it on tells connecting devices that your network does not broadcast its name publicly, so they need to actively look for it rather than just seeing it appear in a normal list of nearby networks. Only enable this if you have specifically configured your router to hide its SSID.
Does this work for open networks with no password?
Yes, select None as the security type and the password field is skipped entirely. The generated QR code tells devices to join the open network directly without prompting for any credentials.
Can I use special characters like semicolons or commas in my network name or password?
Yes. This tool automatically escapes characters that have special meaning in the WiFi QR format, such as backslashes, semicolons, commas, and quotation marks, so your exact network name and password are preserved correctly regardless of what characters they contain.
