Wi-Fi QR Code Generator

A Wi-Fi QR code lets visitors connect to your network by scanning instead of typing a long password. It is perfect for cafés, guest rooms, events, and home networks.

How to create a Wi-Fi QR code

  1. Build a string in this format (no spaces around the values):
    WIFI:T:WPA;S:MyNetwork;P:MyPassword;;
  2. Replace MyNetwork and MyPassword, and use T:WEP or T:nopass if needed.
  3. Paste the whole string into the free QR code generator.
  4. Generate and download the SVG, then print or display it.

Where to put it

Frame it at the entrance, add it to a menu or receipt, or show it on a tablet at the front desk. For more QR ideas, see our guide to QR codes for business cards.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does a Wi-Fi QR code work?

It stores a special string in the format WIFI:S:<network>;T:<type>;P:<password>;;. Modern phones read it and offer a one-tap 'Join network' button — no app required.

Do guests need an app to connect?

No. Both Android and iPhone cameras (and the Control Center on iOS) recognize Wi-Fi QR codes natively and prompt to join the network.

Is it safe to share my password this way?

Anyone who can see the code can connect, so use it for a guest or home network rather than a sensitive corporate one. The password is encoded in plain text inside the image.

Which security types are supported?

WPA/WPA2/WPA3, WEP, and open networks (nopass). WPA3 is recommended for new networks.

How do I make one with this tool?

Build the WIFI: string below, paste it into the free QR code generator, generate, and download the SVG to print or display.
