How to Create a WiFi QR Code — Share Your Password
Generate a WiFi QR code so guests can connect to your network with a single scan. No typing required.
What Is a WiFi QR Code?
A WiFi QR code encodes your network name (SSID), password, and security type into a standardized format. When someone scans it with their phone, they are automatically prompted to join the network — no manual typing required. It works on iPhones (iOS 11+), Android phones, and most modern devices.
This is especially useful for businesses that want to offer guest WiFi without verbally sharing passwords, and for homes where guests frequently ask for the WiFi credentials.
Step-by-Step: Create Your WiFi QR Code
Go to the WiFi QR Code Generator on our site. Enter your network name exactly as it appears in your WiFi settings — it is case-sensitive. Enter your password, select the security type (WPA/WPA2 for most modern routers, WEP for older ones, or None for open networks).
The QR code generates in real time as you type. Once it looks correct, download it as PNG for printing or SVG for high-resolution materials. You can customize the color to match your brand or interior design.
Where to Display Your WiFi QR Code
For businesses: print it on table tents, menu cards, reception desks, or wall-mounted frames. For Airbnb and vacation rentals: include it in the welcome packet or frame it near the router. For home use: stick it on the refrigerator or print a small card for the guest room.
The key is placing it where people naturally look for WiFi information. A visible QR code with a label like 'Scan to Connect to WiFi' eliminates the most common guest question.
Security Considerations
Sharing your WiFi password via QR code is as secure as sharing it verbally — the QR code simply contains the same information. For better security, set up a separate guest network with its own password and create the QR code for that network instead. This keeps your primary network and connected devices isolated.
If you change your WiFi password, you will need to generate and print a new QR code. Consider laminating the printout so you can swap it easily when passwords change.
