Free WiFi QR Code Generator
Let visitors connect to your WiFi with a single scan. Perfect for cafes, hotels, co-working spaces, Airbnbs, and events.
What Is a WiFi QR Code?
Stop spelling out your WiFi password. A WiFi QR code encodes your network name, password, and encryption type into a scannable image. Guests point their phone camera at it and connect automatically — no manual entry needed.
This is the fastest way to share WiFi in cafes, restaurants, hotels, Airbnbs, co-working spaces, offices, and event venues. Print the QR code on a table tent, wall sign, welcome card, or check-in sheet and never answer "What's the WiFi password?" again.
Your WiFi credentials never leave your browser. The QR code is generated 100% client-side — nothing is uploaded to any server. Change your password? Just generate a new code and reprint.
Under the hood, a WiFi QR code uses a standard format (WIFI:S:network;T:WPA;P:password;;) that phones recognize natively. iPhones running iOS 11 or later and Android phones running Android 10 or later can scan it with the built-in camera app — no third-party scanner needed. The phone reads the network name, encryption type, and password, then prompts the guest to join with one tap.
WiFi QR codes are inherently static: the credentials live inside the code itself, which is exactly why they work with no internet connection and no server. The trade-off is that when you change your network password, the old code stops working — regenerate and reprint it, which takes under a minute with this tool. Many venues keep the code in a picture frame or menu sleeve so swapping the printout is easy.
A practical tip for businesses: point guests at a dedicated guest network rather than the network your point-of-sale terminals, cameras, or office machines use. Most modern routers support a separate guest SSID with its own password — make the QR code for that network, and you can rotate its password without touching your internal one.
If your WiFi sign is doing double duty — many venues pair the WiFi code with a menu, review, or social link on the same table tent — reRoute dynamic QR codes handle the URL side. Those links can be updated and tracked after printing, so one reprint-proof sign covers both connecting to your WiFi and everything else you want guests to reach.
Why Use a WiFi QR Code
One Scan to Connect
Guests point their camera at the code and tap once to join your network. No spelling out passwords, no typos, no support questions.
Works on iPhone and Android Natively
The WiFi QR format is supported by the built-in camera app on iOS 11+ and Android 10+ — no app download required for your guests.
Credentials Stay Private
Your network name and password are encoded entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to any server, and only people who can physically scan the code get access.
Free With Unlimited Reprints
Generate as many WiFi QR codes as you need at no cost. Changed your password? Regenerate and reprint in under a minute.
Matches Your Venue Branding
Customize colors, dot styles, and corners, and add your logo to the center so the WiFi sign looks like part of your space, not an afterthought.
Works Completely Offline
The credentials are stored in the code itself, so scanning works even with no internet connection — ideal for venues with patchy mobile coverage.
Where to Use a WiFi QR Code
Cafes and restaurants print WiFi QR codes on table tents, menus, and counter signs. Staff stop repeating the password all day, and guests connect before they have even ordered — which matters when your menu or ordering system is also online.
Hotels, Airbnbs, and vacation rentals put the code in the welcome book, on the fridge, or framed by the door. Guests connect the moment they arrive instead of messaging the host for credentials at midnight.
Offices and co-working spaces post a guest-network QR code in reception and meeting rooms. Visitors get online without IT involvement, and the guest network keeps them separated from internal systems.
Events, weddings, and conferences print the venue WiFi code on programs, badges, and signage so attendees can share photos and stay connected without queuing at an information desk.
At home, a framed WiFi QR code by the entrance or in the guest room settles the "What's your WiFi?" question permanently — visiting family connect themselves.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does a WiFi QR code work?
The QR code encodes your network name (SSID), password, and encryption type in a standard format. When someone scans it with their phone camera, the device prompts them to join the network automatically — no manual password entry required.
Is sharing my WiFi password via QR code safe?
The QR code is generated entirely in your browser — your credentials are never sent to a server. The password is embedded in the QR image, so only people who can physically see or scan the code will have access.
Which devices support WiFi QR codes?
All modern iPhones (iOS 11+) and Android phones (Android 10+) can scan WiFi QR codes natively through the built-in camera app. Older devices may need a third-party QR scanner app.
What encryption types are supported?
The generator supports WPA/WPA2 (most common), WPA3, WEP, and open (no password) networks. Select your encryption type from the dropdown when creating your code.
Can I customize the WiFi QR code design?
Yes. You can change the foreground and background colors, select different dot styles, add rounded corners, and place your logo or brand icon in the center.
What happens when I change my WiFi password?
The old QR code stops working, because the credentials are encoded in the code itself. Generate a new code with the updated password and swap the printout. Keeping the code in a frame or menu sleeve makes this a ten-second job.
Do WiFi QR codes expire?
No. A WiFi QR code works for as long as the network name and password it encodes remain valid. There is no server or subscription involved — the code is entirely self-contained.
Can guests see my WiFi password after scanning?
On most phones the password is filled in automatically without being displayed, but you should treat the code like the password itself: anyone who can scan or photograph it can join the network. For businesses, use a separate guest network so you can rotate its password freely.
Can I track how many people scan my WiFi QR code?
No — and no WiFi QR generator can honestly offer this. The scan happens entirely between the guest's phone and your router, with no web request involved. Scan tracking applies to URL-based QR codes, where reRoute dynamic links record analytics on each visit.
Should I make the QR code for my main network or a guest network?
A guest network, if your router supports one. It keeps visitors separated from point-of-sale systems, cameras, and office devices, and you can change the guest password without disrupting your own equipment — just reprint the code.
