How to Make a WiFi QR Code (Android and iPhone)

Updated 13 November 2026

What is a WiFi QR code?

A WiFi QR code stores your network name and password. When a guest scans it with their phone camera, the phone offers to join the network, so nobody has to type a long password.

What you need

• Your exact network name (SSID). It is case sensitive.
• Your WiFi password. You can usually find both on a label on the router.

Steps to make your WiFi QR code

1. Open the WiFi QR code generator.
2. Type the network name exactly as it appears on your phone.
3. Type the password (8 to 63 characters). For an open network with no password, leave it empty.
4. Keep Track scans turned off. A tracked code opens a web page instead of joining WiFi directly.
5. Pick a template. If you want a logo, choose the WiFi symbol or upload your own. The code has no logo by default.
6. Click Generate QR code and download the PNG or SVG.
7. Scan it with your own phone first to check that it joins.

How guests scan it

• iPhone: open the Camera app, point it at the code and tap the Join Network banner.
• Android: most phones on Android 10 or newer can scan with the camera app. On older phones, use Google Lens or a QR scanner app.

Tips for sharing

• Use a guest network if the code will be on show in a public place, because anyone who scans it can see the password.
• Print it as a card for a cafe table, a framed note for guests, an office reception desk or a rental property.
• Keep the white border and print at least 3 cm wide.
• If you change the WiFi password, make a new QR code and replace the old one.

If it does not work

• Check the name and password for typos, including capital letters.
• Make sure tracking is off.
• Print larger and avoid glare from glossy paper.
• This generator is for standard visible networks that use a password or no password.
