How to create a Wi-Fi QR code
- Enter your Wi-Fi network name exactly as it appears on your phone, including capital letters.
- Choose the security type and type the password.
- Test it by scanning with your phone camera, then download and print it.
Where to use it
- Home: stick it on the fridge or router so guests can join without asking.
- Cafés, restaurants and salons: print it on table tents or at the counter.
- Homestays and rentals: put it in the welcome card so guests are online in seconds.
- Offices and events: share the guest network without reading out a long password.
Tip: the network name and password are case-sensitive. If the QR code doesn’t connect, check both for a capital letter or extra space.
Frequently asked questions
How do I scan a Wi-Fi QR code?
Open the camera on an iPhone (iOS 11 or later) or Android phone (Android 10 or later), point it at the code and tap the notification to join. Older phones can use the QR code scanner on this site to see and copy the password.
Is it safe to put my Wi-Fi password in a QR code?
Anyone who scans the code can join your network, just like anyone you tell the password to. For visitors, it’s best to use a separate guest network on your router.
What if I change my Wi-Fi password?
The old QR code stops working. Create and print a new one with the new password.
Which security type should I choose?
Most home and office routers use WPA2 or WPA3. Pick that unless your router settings say WEP, or None for open networks without a password.
Is my Wi-Fi password sent anywhere?
No. The QR code is created in your browser on your device. Your network name and password never leave your phone or computer.
