Step by step
- Open the QR Code Generator and choose Wi-Fi.
- Type the network name (SSID) exactly as it appears, including capital letters.
- Enter the password and pick the security type. Most home and office networks use WPA / WPA2 / WPA3.
- Check the live preview, then download a PNG for screens or an SVG for printing big.
- Test it with your own phone camera before you print copies.
Wi-Fi QR settings
| Field | What to enter |
|---|---|
| Network name (SSID) | The exact name of your Wi-Fi, case sensitive |
| Password | Your Wi-Fi password |
| Security | WPA / WPA2 / WPA3 for almost all networks, WEP only for very old routers, None (open) for networks without a password |
| Hidden network | Tick only if your network name is hidden |
Keep it safe
Anyone who scans the code can join the network, and the password is readable from the code. For shops, cafes and rentals, set up a separate guest network on your router and put that on the QR code instead of your main network.
Tips
Print it at least 3 by 3 cm (about 1.2 inches). Bigger is easier to scan from a distance.
Keep dark code on a light background. Inverted colors fail on some phones.
Changed your password? Make a new code, the old one will stop working.

Open the QR Code GeneratorFrequently asked questions
Do Wi-Fi QR codes work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. The built in camera app on current iPhones and Android phones recognises Wi-Fi codes and offers to join.
Does the QR code expire?
No. The code contains the network details directly, so it works until you change the network name or password.
Is my Wi-Fi password sent anywhere?
No. The code is created in your browser on your device.
Why does my code not connect?
Check the network name and password match exactly, including capitals, and that the security type is right.
