WiFi QR code generator
Let guests join your network with a scan instead of typing a password. Free, private, and generated entirely in your browser — no app, no sign-up, and the code never expires.
Why use a WiFi QR code
Typing a long, random WiFi password on a phone keyboard is annoying for guests, and writing it on a whiteboard isn't much better. A WiFi QR code encodes your network name, password, and security type in one scannable image — the phone's camera recognizes the format and offers to join the network directly, no typing required.
It's a good fit for:
- Coffee shops, restaurants, and waiting rooms with guest WiFi
- Airbnbs and vacation rentals (print it on a card by the router)
- Offices and coworking spaces onboarding visitors
- Home guest networks you share with friends and family often
How it works
- Open the generator and switch the data type to "Wi-Fi network".
- Enter your network name (SSID) and password, and pick the security type (WPA/WPA2/WPA3, WEP, or open).
- Style the code, add a caption like "Scan for WiFi", and download it as PNG, SVG, or PDF to print.
Because everything runs client-side, your password is never uploaded anywhere — it goes straight from the form into the QR code image in your own browser.
How to share your WiFi password without typing it
If you just need to view or share your WiFi password once, your phone can usually show it to you directly — no QR code needed:
- To view your WiFi password on iPhone: open Settings → Wi-Fi, tap the "i" next to your network, then tap Password (Face ID/passcode required). On iOS 16 and newer you can also tap "Share Password" when standing near another Apple device already on the network.
- To view it on Android: open Settings → Network & internet → your WiFi network, then tap "Share" — Android shows a QR code for it right there.
Those built-in options work for a single, one-off share. They fall short the moment you want to hand the password to more than one or two people — printing a WiFi QR code once and leaving it on the wall covers every guest after that, with nothing to tap or read aloud.
Frequently asked questions
How does a WiFi QR code work?
It encodes your network name, password, and security type in a standard format that phone cameras recognize. Scanning it shows a "Join network" prompt instead of a link.
Is my WiFi password sent anywhere?
No. The QR code is generated entirely in your browser — your network name and password never leave your device or touch a server.
Which phones support scanning WiFi QR codes?
Most modern iPhones (via the built-in Camera app) and Android phones (via Camera or Google Lens) support the WIFI: QR format natively, with no extra app required.
Does this work for hidden networks?
Yes. Check the "Hidden network" box when generating the code and it will be flagged correctly so scanning devices know to connect even though the network isn't broadcasting its name.
How do I share my WiFi password without typing it?
For a one-off share, iPhone and Android can both display or beam your current WiFi password from the network settings screen. For sharing with guests repeatedly, a printed WiFi QR code is easier — anyone scans it and joins, with nothing to type or read aloud.
How do I view my WiFi password on iPhone?
Open Settings, tap Wi-Fi, tap the info (i) button next to your network, then tap Password and authenticate with Face ID or your passcode.
