How do I create a QR code for my WiFi?

Enter your WiFi network name (SSID) and password in the generator above, select your encryption type (WPA/WPA2 for most networks), and click Generate. Download the QR code as a PNG or SVG and print it wherever you want guests to connect.

Can I scan a WiFi QR code with my iPhone?

Yes. iPhones running iOS 11 or later can scan WiFi QR codes directly with the built-in Camera app. Just point your camera at the QR code and tap the notification that appears to join the network.

Do WiFi QR codes work on Android?

Yes. Most Android phones (Android 10+) can scan WiFi QR codes with the built-in camera. Older Android versions may need a QR scanner app like Google Lens, which is pre-installed on most devices.

Is it safe to share my WiFi password via QR code?

The QR code is generated entirely in your browser, so your WiFi credentials are never sent to any server. The QR code itself is just a visual encoding of your password, similar to writing it on paper. For added control, use a dynamic QR code so you can revoke access anytime.

What if I change my WiFi password?

With a static QR code, you’ll need to generate a new one. With a dynamic QR code from QRKIT, you can update the password from your dashboard without reprinting the code. The same physical QR code will always connect to the current credentials.

My WiFi network is hidden. Can I still create a QR code?

Yes. WiFi QR codes support hidden networks. The QR code includes a flag that tells the scanning device to search for your hidden network by name, so the connection works even when the SSID is not broadcast.

Which security protocol should I choose: WPA, WPA2, WEP or None?

Pick the WPA option for nearly all modern home and business networks, it covers WPA, WPA2, and WPA3 and is what almost everyone needs. Select WEP only if you have a very old router that does not support WPA; WEP is outdated and insecure. Select “None” only for open networks with no password.

Will my WiFi QR code expire?

Static QR codes never expire. They’ll work as long as the password in the code matches your actual WiFi password. Dynamic QR codes also don’t expire, but you can deactivate them from your dashboard if needed.

How do I make a WiFi QR code for my cafe or restaurant?

Generate the WiFi QR code with your network name and password, download as SVG for crisp print quality, and place it on table tents, the counter, or a small wall card. For a cafe or restaurant, a dynamic QR code is worth it: when you cycle the WiFi password every few months for security, you update it once in the dashboard and the printed code keeps working.

Can I create a WiFi QR code for my Airbnb or short-term rental?

Yes, and it’s one of the most common use cases. Print the QR code on a welcome card next to instructions for the smart TV and parking. Guests scan with their phone camera and connect without typing anything. Use a dynamic QR code so you can rotate the WiFi password between stays without reprinting cards.

Can I make a WiFi QR code for a guest network?

Yes. Most modern routers let you set up a separate guest WiFi network with its own SSID and password. Create the QR code for the guest network specifically so visitors connect to that network instead of your main one. This isolates traffic and keeps your primary network private. Refresh the guest password periodically and update it via the dynamic QR if you set one up.

How big should the WiFi QR code be when I print it?

For a table tent or wall card scanned from about 30cm (12 inches) away, aim for a printed QR code at least 3cm x 3cm (1.2 in x 1.2 in). For posters scanned from across a room, go larger, at least 10cm x 10cm (4 in x 4 in). Always test-scan the printed version from the realistic distance before producing a full run.

Is a WLAN QR code the same as a WiFi QR code?

Yes. “WLAN” is the term for WiFi used in Germany and much of Europe, so a WLAN QR code and a WiFi QR code are exactly the same thing: a scannable code that stores your network name, password, and encryption type. This generator creates WLAN and WiFi QR codes that work on any iPhone or Android phone.

Can I create WiFi QR codes for multiple locations at once?

Yes. If you manage several properties, hotel rooms, or store locations, you can generate many WiFi QR codes at once from a spreadsheet with bulk generation. Bulk generation is available on the Plus plan and up, from $16/month billed annually; creating a single WiFi QR code is always free.

Add your logo, brand colors, and a frame style so it looks professional anywhere. Design customization is a paid feature (Starter and up, from $6/month); the single WiFi QR code is free. For a deeper logo workflow, see our QR code with logo generator.

Download & Print

Download your WiFi QR code as a PNG or SVG file. Print it on a table tent, wall poster, welcome card, or sticker. Anyone can scan it with their phone camera to connect in seconds.

How it works

What Is a WiFi QR Code?

A WiFi QR code stores your network name, password, and encryption type in a scannable format. When someone scans it with their phone camera (iPhone or Android), their device automatically connects to your WiFi network, no manual typing required.

Encoded format

WIFI:S:<network name>;T:<encryption>;P:<password>;;

This is an open standard supported by all modern smartphones. iPhone users running iOS 11 or later and Android users can scan WiFi QR codes directly from the built-in camera app.

Privacy

Your WiFi Password Stays Private

Your WiFi QR code is generated entirely in your browser. Your network name and password are never sent to our servers, the code is just a visual encoding of details you already have, like writing them on a card. It also never expires: a static WiFi QR code keeps working as long as the password in it matches your real WiFi password.

Need to change the password later without reprinting? Use a dynamic QR code and update it from your dashboard.

Which to pick

WiFi Security Protocols: WPA, WPA2, WEP or None

When you create your WiFi QR code, you pick an encryption type. Here is which one to choose.

WPA (most common)

Pick the WPA option for nearly all modern home and business networks. It covers WPA, WPA2, and WPA3, and it is what almost everyone needs.

WEP (older networks)

Only for very old routers that do not support WPA. WEP is outdated and insecure, so upgrade your router if you can.

No password (open network)

Only for open networks that have no password.

Not sure? Pick WPA, it covers the vast majority of networks. For added safety, share a separate guest network rather than your main one.

Use cases

Who Uses WiFi QR Codes?

Restaurants & Cafes

Print your WiFi QR code on table tents, menus, or near the counter. Guests connect without asking staff for the password, and you avoid shouting it across the room. Change your password anytime without reprinting if you use a dynamic QR code.

Airbnb & Vacation Rentals

Place a WiFi QR code in your welcome guide or on a small card near the router. Guests appreciate not having to type a 20-character password on arrival. It's one of the easiest ways to improve your guest rating.

Offices & Coworking Spaces

Give visitors and clients quick WiFi access without sharing your internal network password verbally. Print the QR code at reception or in meeting rooms. For security, use a separate guest network.

Events & Conferences

Display a large WiFi QR code on screens or banners. Hundreds of attendees can connect simultaneously without anyone needing to spell out the password. Pair with an event QR code so attendees can also add sessions to their calendar.

Hotels & Hospitality

Place WiFi QR codes in rooms, lobbies, and common areas. Guests scan and connect in seconds, with no need to call the front desk or type a room-specific code.

Schools & Libraries

Post WiFi QR codes in study areas and classrooms. Students and visitors connect without IT support, and you can rotate the password on a schedule using a dynamic QR code.

Benefits

Why Share Your WiFi with a QR Code?

No More Password Hassle

Stop spelling out long passwords to every guest. A single scan connects them automatically. Works especially well when your password is complex (which it should be for security).

Works on Every Phone

WiFi QR codes are natively supported on iPhones (iOS 11+) and all Android devices. No special app required, the built-in camera handles it.

Change Password Without Reprinting

With a dynamic WiFi QR code, you can update the stored password anytime from your QRKIT dashboard. The same printed QR code will always point to the current credentials. This is unique to dynamic QR codes, because static codes are locked once created.

Keep Your Network Secure

Sharing a QR code is more secure than posting your password on a whiteboard. You control who sees the code, and with a dynamic code, you can disable access at any time.

Track How Many People Connect

Dynamic WiFi QR codes show you scan analytics, including how many people connected, when they scanned, and from what devices. Track your WiFi QR code scans to understand foot traffic patterns.

Compare

Static vs Dynamic WiFi QR Codes

Which should you choose? It depends on whether you need to update your WiFi credentials after printing.

Static WiFi QR Code

Free

The WiFi credentials are encoded directly in the QR code. It works forever and doesn't need an internet connection to function. Downside: if you change your WiFi password, you need to generate and print a new QR code. Create free static WiFi QR codes with our free QR code generator, no account needed.

Best for

Home use, one-time events, personal sharing.

Dynamic WiFi QR Code

Popular

A dynamic QR code points to a redirect that you control from your QRKIT dashboard. You can change the WiFi password, network name, or encryption type anytime, and the printed QR code stays the same. You also get scan analytics (total scans, devices, dates).

Best for

Businesses, Airbnbs, restaurants, offices, anywhere you rotate passwords.

Print it

How to Print Your WiFi QR Code

Download your WiFi QR code as an SVG for crisp printing at any size, then place it where guests will look.

Table cards and tents: print at least 3cm x 3cm (1.2 in) for scanning from about 30cm away.
Posters and signage: go 10cm x 10cm (4 in) or larger for across-the-room scanning.
Always test-scan the printed copy from a realistic distance before a full print run.
