WiFi QR Code Generator — Free & No Login
Let guests join your network with a single scan — no typing, no spelling out passwords. Create your WiFi QR code in seconds and download it as PNG or SVG, completely free.
How do you make a WiFi QR code?
Enter the network name, the password and the security type, then download the PNG or SVG. Scanning it joins the network without typing anything. The credentials are encoded as plain text inside the code, so anyone who scans it can read the password — use a guest network in public spaces.
How to display your WiFi QR code
Why use a WiFi QR code?
WiFi QR codes are the fastest way to share internet access with guests, customers, or visitors. Instead of reading out a complex password — with uppercase letters, numbers, and symbols — guests simply point their camera at the code and connect in one tap.
Hotels, cafés, restaurants, Airbnb hosts, coworking spaces, and offices all use WiFi QR codes. A single laminated card on reception or a sticker on each table eliminates the most common guest frustration: "What's the WiFi password?"
The QR code is generated using the standard WIFI: format, which is natively supported by the iPhone camera app (iOS 11+) and the Android camera app — no additional app download required.

Technical reference
WiFi QR code: format and compatibility
A WiFi QR code encodes the network credentials as plain text in the form WIFI:T:WPA;S:network;P:password;H:false;; — anyone who scans it can read the password.
| Security type | Encoded as | Native support |
|---|---|---|
| WPA / WPA2 | T:WPA | iOS 11+, Android 10+ |
| WPA3 | T:WPA | Unreliable — many devices fail to join |
| WEP | T:WEP | iOS 11+, Android 10+ (obsolete, avoid) |
| Open, no password | T:nopass | iOS 11+, Android 10+ |
| Hidden SSID | H:true | Android 10+; unreliable on iOS |
The password is stored in clear text inside the code. For a public space, use a guest network rather than your main one.
Minimum QR code size by scan distance
The 10:1 rule: divide the distance the code will be scanned from by 10 to get its minimum printed side length. Below this, phone cameras fail to lock on.
| Scan distance | Minimum size | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| 10 cm | 1 cm | Product label, business card |
| 30 cm | 3 cm | Menu, flyer, packaging |
| 1 m | 10 cm | Poster, shop window |
| 3 m | 30 cm | Wall display, exhibition stand |
| 10 m | 100 cm | Billboard, building signage |
Add a quiet zone of at least 4 modules around the code, and print from SVG rather than PNG for anything above A5.
