How to Create a WiFi QR Code

A WiFi QR code generator takes your wireless network credentials and encodes them into a compact image. This eliminates the hassle of dictating long, complex passwords to visitors. The QR code uses the widely supported WIFI: URI scheme that both iOS and Android recognize natively.

Steps to Generate Your QR Code

  1. Enter your network name (SSID) exactly as it appears on your router.
  2. Type your WiFi password and select the correct encryption type (WPA/WPA2 is most common).
  3. If your network is hidden, enable the hidden network toggle.
  4. Download the generated QR code and print it for your lobby, guest room, or office.

Common Use Cases

  • Hotels and Airbnbs — place a framed QR code on the bedside table so guests can connect instantly.
  • Coffee shops and restaurants — display the code at the counter or on table tents instead of writing the password on a chalkboard.
  • Offices and coworking spaces — share the guest network securely without emailing credentials.
  • Home parties — print a small card so friends can get online without asking for the password.

How the WiFi QR Format Works

The code follows the format WIFI:T:WPA;S:NetworkName;P:Password;H:false;;. The T field specifies encryption, S is the SSID, P is the password, and H indicates whether the network is hidden. This format was originally proposed by Google for Android and is now universally supported across mobile platforms.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does a WiFi QR code work?
A WiFi QR code stores your network name (SSID), password, and encryption type in a standardized format. When someone scans it, their phone automatically offers to join the network without any manual typing.
Is it safe to share my WiFi password via QR code?
The QR code is generated entirely in your browser — your password never leaves your device. However, anyone who scans the printed code will gain access to the network, so display it only in trusted locations.
Which encryption types are supported?
The generator supports WPA/WPA2 (most common for home and business networks), WEP (legacy), and open networks with no password. Select the option that matches your router configuration.
Does this work on both iPhone and Android?
Yes. iPhones running iOS 11 or later and virtually all modern Android devices can scan WiFi QR codes directly from the built-in camera app. No third-party scanner is needed.
Can I use this for a hidden network?
Absolutely. Toggle the hidden network option and the generated QR code will include the hidden flag, telling the scanning device to connect even though the SSID is not broadcast.
