WiFi QR Code Generator

WiFi QR code generator — share network access without typing a password

Typing a 20‑character WiFi password into a visitor's phone is the kind of friction that makes a good first impression stumble. A WiFi QR code lets guests scan and connect instantly — no typing, no typos, no reading a password aloud across a room. This generator creates a QR code from your network name (SSID), password, and security type, all processed locally in the browser. Nothing is uploaded; the code is rendered client‑side and downloaded as a PNG.

The tool supports WPA/WPA2, WEP, and open (no password) networks. Hidden‑network support is included — check the "Hidden network" box and the QR code includes the flag so devices know to probe for the SSID.

Who uses it

• Home hosts and Airbnb operators — print a WiFi QR code in the guest room or welcome book instead of writing the password on a sticky note.
• Cafes, restaurants, and coworking spaces — display a QR code on table tents, counter signs, and wall posters so customers connect without asking staff.
• Offices and meeting rooms — post a guest‑network QR code in conference rooms and reception areas for visitors.
• Schools, libraries, and event spaces — provide temporary WiFi access to attendees without distributing the password in plain text.

How to use it well

1. Enter the exact network name (SSID) — capitalisation matters. "MyWifi" and "mywifi" are different networks.
2. Enter the password and select the security type. Most modern networks use WPA/WPA2.
3. Check "Hidden network" only if your router does not broadcast the SSID. Most home and small‑business networks broadcast and should leave this unchecked.
4. Download the PNG and print or display it. The QR code updates in real time as you type, so you can verify the data before downloading.

Practical tips

• Use a separate guest network with client isolation enabled — this keeps visitors off your primary network where shared devices and files live.
• Double‑check SSID spelling and capitalisation before printing. A mismatch between the QR code and the actual network name causes a silent connection failure.
• Print the QR code at a size that is easily scannable from a natural holding distance — at least 3–4 cm (1.5 inches) on each side for table tents.
• Regenerate the code whenever the WiFi password changes. A stale QR code on the wall causes more frustration than no code at all.

Common use cases

• Guest‑room WiFi cards for homes, vacation rentals, and bed‑and‑breakfasts
• Cafe and restaurant table tents with self‑service WiFi access
• Office visitor‑network signs in reception, meeting rooms, and hot‑desk areas
• Event‑space and conference WiFi posters for attendee access
• School labs, library study areas, and workshop spaces with temporary access needs

Privacy and browser‑side processing

All QR code generation runs locally in the browser. Your network name, password, and security type never leave your device. This is critical — if you upload your WiFi password to a server‑side generator, that service operator now has your credentials. With browser‑side generation, the QR code is rendered on your device and the password stays with you.
