Wi-Fi QR code generator

Enter the network name and password exactly as your router has them. Guests point a phone camera at the printed code and join, with no password to read out or mistype. Free to download, with no account.

Dynamic & Editable

Change where it points after printing, and see who scans it.

Your code is drawn as you type.

Type a destination to download.

This is an example code. Style it now — yours takes its place as you type.

What happens when a guest scans it

The code holds the network’s name, its security type and its password, in a short line of text phones know how to read. The guest taps once and the phone remembers the network like any other.

iPhone

The Camera app reads the code and shows a banner offering to join the network. One tap and it connects, with the password filled in for the guest.

Android

The camera or Google Lens offers to connect. On many Android phones the Wi-Fi settings screen has a scan button of its own, beside the list of networks.

Laptops and older phones

A laptop has no camera scanner for this, and a few older phones show the text rather than joining. Print the network name and password in small type under the code for them.

The line of text inside a Wi-Fi code

Wi-Fi codes follow a format phone makers settled on between themselves rather than a published standard. For a network called Cafe-Guest, this generator writes:

WIFI:T:WPA;S:Cafe-Guest;P:espresso2026;;

T is the security type, S the network name and P the password. A semicolon, comma, colon, quote mark or backslash in the name or password gets a backslash in front of it, so a network called “Bar; Kitchen” is not cut short at the semicolon, which would send the phone after a network called “Bar”. An open network gets no P at all, because an empty one makes some Android phones ask for a password that does not exist. H:true is added for a hidden network and nowhere else.

Pick the security your router uses

The security type has to match the router, or the phone tries the right password the wrong way and gives up.

WPA / WPA2
Nearly every home and office router. Choose it when the router’s label or settings page says WPA2 or WPA2-Personal, or a mixed WPA2/WPA3 mode.
WEP
Very old routers only. If yours still uses it, its settings can probably be switched to WPA2, which is far harder to break into.
No password
An open network, such as a guest network with a sign-in page in the browser. The code then carries no password at all.
Hidden network
A tick box under More options, for a network set not to broadcast its name. Leave it clear on an ordinary network, or phones go looking for one they cannot see.

A router set to WPA3 alone is newer than the choices in this format. Scan the finished code with a phone of the kind your guests carry before you print a hundred of them.

Your password stays on your side of the screen

A free Wi-Fi code is worked out and drawn by this page, on your own device. The network name and password you type are not sent to us and not stored anywhere of ours.

  • No connection needed to join. The phone reads everything it needs from the pattern, which is the point: the guest is not online yet when they scan it.
  • Nothing of ours in the way. No link, no server and no account sit between the code and your router, so it goes on working as long as the network name and password do.
  • Only if you choose an account. The details leave this page only when you switch Dynamic on and continue, and then they are saved in your account so they can be changed.
  • Nothing to sign in to later. Download the PNG or SVG and you are done. There is no dashboard to keep, and no email address asked for.

When you change the Wi-Fi password

A printed Wi-Fi code carries the password in its pattern, so a new password needs a new code. How to deal with that depends on how often yours changes.

Print a new one

For a home network, or an office password that changes once a year, make a fresh code on this page and print it again. It costs nothing but the paper.

Or make the code editable

Switch Dynamic on above and save it in an account. The printed code then opens a small web page with the network name, the password and a Copy button, plus a join code a second phone can scan. Change the password in your account and every copy on the walls shows the new one.

The trade: a web page cannot join a network for anyone, so the guest needs mobile data to open it and one more tap to copy the password. It is one of the 3 editable items on Free.

What a Wi-Fi code cannot do

Four limits worth knowing before you print one, none of which is a fault in the code.

  • Sign-in pages. A hotel or airport network that opens a page asking for a room number cannot be got past by any code. The scan joins the network; the sign-in page still appears, exactly as it would otherwise.
  • Company networks with usernames. Networks where each person has their own username and certificate, the kind universities and large offices run, are not part of this format at all. There is nowhere in the string to put them.
  • Changing the password. The password is in the pattern, so the printed card is as current as the day it was made. That is the argument for the editable version, and for a guest password you do not rotate every week.
  • Telling you who joined. The phone talks to your router, never to us, so a static Wi-Fi code counts nothing. If you want to know how many people scanned, that is the router’s guest list, or an editable code, which counts the page opening rather than the joining.

Before it goes on the wall

A Wi-Fi code is scanned by somebody standing up, often holding a suitcase or a coffee, in whatever light the room has. That decides how it should be printed.

  1. Scan your own print

    Test the finished card on an iPhone and on an Android phone before you make twenty of them. A camera is the only opinion that counts.

  2. Give it room

    Keep the pale border the download comes with. Artwork or a frame edge pressed against the squares is a common reason a card in a nice holder stops working.

  3. Mind the shine

    Glossy lamination under a downlight throws a highlight across the middle of the code. Matt laminate, or a spot where the light is not directly overhead.

  4. Write it out as well

    Put the network name, and the password if it is a guest network, in small type beneath. It rescues the laptop, the old phone and the visitor whose camera app is set to something else.

Where a Wi-Fi code earns its frame

Anywhere people ask for the password more often than you would like to answer.

  • Holiday lets and guest rooms

    A framed code by the door answers the first question every guest asks, without a laminated card of letters and numbers.

  • Cafés and waiting rooms

    On the table tent or the counter, so staff are not spelling the password out loud all day.

  • Offices and meeting rooms

    A guest-network code at reception lets visitors join without somebody typing on their phone for them.

  • Events and venues

    On the badge, the programme or the stage screen, so a room of people is not queueing to ask.

Where the router allows it, give guests a network of their own, so the code does not hand out the one your computers, cameras and card reader use. Need codes for a whole building of rooms? The bulk QR code generator makes a batch from a list, and the page on file formats says which download to send a printer.

Change many codes at once

Tick the codes, then pause, tag, file or move them together.

Tick codes in the list, or pick every code with a tag, and pause or resume them, add or remove tags, move them to a folder or onto your own domain, or add campaign tags, in one go. The API does the same in one request.

Short links, with your own ending

The link on its own, for a bio, an email or an ad.

Paste a link and get a short one you can change, route and count, with no QR code unless you want one. Every dynamic code already has its short link beside it, and a short link gets its QR code in one click - the same link, so clicks and scans count together. On Business you choose how the link ends, like /spring-menu, instead of random letters.

Wi-Fi QR codes, answered

How do I make a QR code for my Wi-Fi?
Type the network name as your phone lists it, capitals and spaces included, add the password, choose the security type and download the PNG or SVG. Scan it with your own phone before printing to be sure it joins.
Is this Wi-Fi QR code generator free?
Yes. The download costs nothing, needs no account and carries no watermark. Only the editable kind, which opens a web page you can update, needs a free account.
Does a Wi-Fi QR code expire?
No. It holds the network details themselves, so it keeps joining until you rename the network or change its password. Nothing on our side can switch it off.
Where do I find my network name and password?
On most home routers both are on a sticker on the back or underneath, often labelled SSID and key. If they have been changed since, the router’s settings page or your internet provider’s app shows the current ones.
Can guests see the password?
Anyone who scans the code can join, and many phones can show or share the password of a network they have joined. Treat the code like the password written on a card, and give it a guest network if your router has one.
Why does my phone not offer to join?
Check what the code carries: the name must match the network exactly, the security type must match the router, and the hidden box should be ticked only for a hidden network. Some older phones need a scanner app before they will join.
Can I put my logo on a Wi-Fi QR code?
Yes, in the design panel: colours, shapes, a frame with a line such as SCAN TO JOIN WI-FI, and a logo in the middle. The code raises its error correction so the logo does not stop phones reading it.
