A WiFi QR code is a special type of QR code that stores your network credentials in an encrypted format. When an iOS or Android user scans it with their camera app, their device reads the SSID (network name), password, and encryption type and offers to connect automatically. This works with WPA2, WPA3, and older WEP networks. The main benefit is zero friction — your guest does not need to read a long password from a sign, mistype it, or ask again. Modern smartphones running iOS 11+ and Android 9+ support WiFi QR scanning natively with no app required.

1. Select the "WiFi" mode in the generator above. 2. Enter your SSID (this is the name of your WiFi network exactly as it appears on devices). Enter your WiFi password in the Password field. Select the encryption type — most modern routers use WPA/WPA2. 3. Your QR code generates instantly in the preview panel on the right. Click "Download PNG" to save a high-resolution 1000×1000px image file, perfect for printing.

For cafés and restaurants, place your WiFi QR code on your table cards, menus, or near the counter. For hotels or Airbnbs, display it on your welcome card or a desk stand in the room. For offices, put it at the reception desk or meeting room tables so visitors connect immediately. For retail stores, post it near the checkout or entrance. Adding a short label like "📶 Scan to Connect to Free WiFi" significantly increases scan rates. Print at minimum 3×3cm for reliable scanning, and always test with multiple devices before placing it in production.

Yes. The WiFi QR code stores your credentials but requires physical proximity to scan — unlike sharing your password verbally or on a sticky note. The QR code does not expose your credentials to any server; generation happens entirely in your browser with our tool. For extra security, create a separate "Guest" WiFi network on your router and use that network's credentials for the QR code, keeping your main network private and protected.
