Free WiFi QR code generator
Create a QR code that connects guests to your WiFi in one scan — no typing, no spelling out passwords. Free, no signup, and generated entirely in your browser.
Generated entirely in your browser — nothing you type here is uploaded or stored.
This is a free static QR code — it works forever, but it can't be tracked or edited after download.
Make It Dynamic & Trackable — FreeHow it works
Enter your network details
Type the network name (SSID) and password, then pick the encryption type — WPA/WPA2/WPA3 covers nearly every modern router. Flip the hidden-network toggle if your router doesn't broadcast the SSID.
Watch the code update live
The QR code regenerates as you type. Point your phone camera at the screen to test it before you download — if a join-network prompt appears, it works.
Download PNG or SVG
Grab a PNG for screens and documents, or a print-ready SVG that scales to any size without blurring. Everything is generated in your browser; your password is never uploaded.
Optional: make it dynamic
If you want to edit the network details later without reprinting, or see how often the code gets scanned, create a dynamic WiFi code at /create-qr-code. Free, no credit card required.
What is a wifi qr code?
A WiFi QR code joins a phone to a wireless network the moment it's scanned. Instead of a web address, the code stores a short text string in a standard format — WIFI:T:WPA;S:YourNetwork;P:YourPassword;; — that lists the network name (SSID), the encryption type, and the password. iPhone and Android cameras recognize that format natively and show a join-network prompt, so nobody has to type a 27-character password or ask you to spell it out.
Use one anywhere people regularly ask for your WiFi: a table tent in a cafe, a framed card in a rental, a sign in an office lobby, the first slide of a workshop. Because the network details live inside the code itself, a WiFi QR code needs no internet connection to work — the phone reads the credentials straight from the pattern and connects. The generator on this page runs entirely in your browser, so your password is never uploaded anywhere.
When you print it, keep the code dark on a light background — scanners read the contrast between modules, and low-contrast or inverted codes fail more often. Leave a quiet zone of white space around the code at least four modules wide, and don't print it smaller than about 2 cm (0.8 in) per side; go larger if people will scan from across a table. Longer passwords make denser codes, so give them more room. Always test-scan the final artwork with both an iPhone and an Android before sending it to print.
Where wifi qr codes work best
Cafe and restaurant tables
Print the code on table tents, menus, or a small sign by the register. Guests connect without flagging down staff, and your team stops repeating the password forty times a shift. Point it at your guest network so customer devices never share WiFi with your point-of-sale system.
Vacation rentals and hotels
Frame a WiFi code in the entryway or add it to the welcome binder. Guests arriving with luggage and low batteries connect the whole family in one scan instead of squinting at a router sticker. Print one per property and it keeps working until you change the network.
Office guest networks
Post the code at reception and in conference rooms. Visitors, contractors, and interview candidates get online in seconds without anyone from IT reading a password over the phone. Point it at your guest VLAN so outside devices never touch the internal network, and a reprint takes minutes if you rotate credentials.
Events and weddings
Add the WiFi code to welcome signage, programs, or table cards so guests can share photos and stream without burning mobile data. For venues, one printed sign replaces hundreds of individual password requests over a season. Pair it with an event QR code that drops the date into guests' calendars.
Classrooms and workshops
Drop the code on the first slide or a printed handout so attendees connect before the session starts instead of during it. Trainers who teach in a different venue every week can generate a fresh code in seconds for each location's network — faster than writing credentials on a whiteboard.
Home guest WiFi
Stick a small printed code on the fridge or in the guest room. Visitors, babysitters, and in-laws connect themselves, and you stop reciting a 16-character password from memory. If your router runs a separate guest network, this is the easiest way to actually get people to use it.
Static code vs. dynamic QR code
- A static WiFi code can't be edited — the SSID and password are baked into the pattern, so changing your router password means reprinting every copy.
- Static codes also can't tell you anything: there's no record of how many people scanned, when, or on what device.
- A dynamic QR code from QRelix stays editable after printing and adds scan analytics — counts, device type, geography, and time of day — plus logo and brand-color customization.
- If your network details rarely change and you don't need scan data, the free static code from this page is all you need, and it works forever.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a WiFi QR code work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. Modern iPhone and Android phones scan WiFi QR codes with the built-in camera — no app needed. Point the camera at the code and a join-network prompt appears with the password filled in automatically. On older devices without native camera scanning, any free QR scanner app reads the same code. The format this tool uses is the standard both operating systems have supported for years.
Is it safe to put my WiFi password in a QR code?
It's as safe as handing someone the password, because that's exactly what the code contains: the SSID and password stored as plain text. Anyone who scans the code — or decodes the image — can read them, so post it only where you'd post the password itself. For a business, point it at a guest network that's separated from point-of-sale and internal systems. This generator runs entirely in your browser, so the password is never uploaded.
Which encryption type should I select?
Choose WPA/WPA2/WPA3 unless you know otherwise — it covers almost every home and business router sold in the last decade. Select WEP only for legacy hardware, and None for open networks with no password. If you pick the wrong type, the phone may refuse to join even though the password is correct, so check your router's security setting if test scans keep failing.
Can I change the WiFi password after printing the code?
Not with a static code — the SSID and password are encoded into the pattern permanently, so a new password means generating and printing a new code. If your network details change often, create a dynamic WiFi code at /create-qr-code instead: you can edit the credentials anytime and every printed copy keeps working. The static code from this page never expires; it simply always contains what you typed today.
Does this tool upload or store my WiFi password?
No. The QR code is generated entirely in your browser — the network name and password never leave your device, nothing is stored on QRelix servers, and there's no account to create. The downloaded PNG or SVG is a plain image file with no branding and no expiration, and because the code is static there's no redirect behind it — the credentials live in the pattern itself.
Do WiFi QR codes work for hidden networks?
Yes — turn on the hidden-network toggle and the code includes a flag telling the phone the SSID isn't broadcast, so it connects without waiting to see the network in a scan list. Type the SSID exactly as it's configured on the router, including capitalization, because a hidden network can't be picked from a list. Both iPhone and Android handle the hidden flag in this standard format.
