QR code generator
Nobody has to shout the password across the room again
A Wi-Fi QR code holds the network name and the password in a format phones understand. Your guest points the camera, taps Join, and they are on. No spelling out capital letters.
Your password never leaves this page. The code is drawn by your own browser, so we never see it and there is nothing on our side to leak.
Your Wi-Fi details
Type it exactly, capital letters included.
Fill the form and your QR code shows up here.
1024 px is fine for a visiting card or a menu. 2048 px is for a shutter poster or a flex board.
Your password is only ever handled by your own browser on this page.
Type the details exactly right
- • The network name is the SSID. Copy it letter for letter, including capitals and underscores. Wi-Fi names are case sensitive.
- • Pick WPA if you are unsure. Almost every router made in the last fifteen years uses WPA, WPA2 or WPA3, and all three work with the WPA setting.
- • Pick WEP only for a very old router that says WEP in its settings.
- • Pick open if your network truly has no password. Do not do this in a home.
- • Tick "hidden" only if your router is set to not broadcast its name.
Good places for a Wi-Fi code
| Cafe table | Next to the menu code. Label them or people scan the wrong one. |
|---|---|
| Guest room or homestay | Framed on the desk. Saves you a phone call at midnight. |
| Office reception | A guest network code, not your main office network. |
| Clinic waiting room | People wait less painfully when the internet works. |
| Your fridge at home | For relatives, so nobody hunts for the router sticker. |
Make and test the code
- 1. Type the network name exactly as it appears in your phone Wi-Fi list.
- 2. Type the password.
- 3. Leave the security type at WPA unless your router says otherwise.
- 4. Download the PNG. The network name gets printed under the code.
- 5. Forget the network on your own phone, then scan the code. If it reconnects, the code is right.
Keep your main network to yourself
Anyone who can see the printed code can join that network. In a shop or a cafe, that matters.
Most routers can create a second guest network with its own password. Make the QR for the guest network and keep your billing computer, your CCTV and your printer on the main one.
If your router cannot do guest networks, at least set a password you are willing to change every few months.
Common questions
- Does the Wi-Fi QR code work on iPhone and Android?
- Yes. Both read the standard WIFI: format straight from the camera app. On older Android phones you may need to open the camera in QR mode first.
- Do you store my Wi-Fi password?
- No. The code is built inside your browser. Nothing is sent to a server, so there is nothing for us to store.
- Can someone read my password out of the printed code?
- Yes, with a QR reader app that shows raw text. Treat the printed code like a written password, not like a secret.
- I changed my Wi-Fi password. Does the old code still work?
- No. The old password is baked into the pattern. Make a new code and replace the printed one.
- The code scans but the phone does not connect. What now?
- Nine times out of ten the network name has a capital letter or a space in a different place. Copy the exact name from a phone that is already connected.
