Free WiFi QR Code Generator

How a WiFi QR code works

A WiFi QR code encodes your network credentials in the format defined by the Wi-Fi QR code standard — a payload like WIFI:T:WPA;S:MyNetwork;P:password;;. When a guest scans it with their phone camera (iPhone 11+ on iOS, most modern Androids), the device offers to join the network with a single tap. No typing, no shouting the password across the room.

The QR code generated here is fully static and self-contained. The network name and password are encoded directly into the pattern — nothing routes through our servers. You can print it, screenshot it, or paste it into a frame on the wall.

Where WiFi QR codes shine

• Cafés and restaurants — print a small framed sign on each table so guests join in seconds.
• Hotels and rentals — laminate a card in each room with the network QR, alongside check-in info.
• Co-working spaces and offices — replace sticky notes on the meeting-room door with a clean QR.
• Events and conferences — branded QR cards at registration for venue WiFi. Pair with our QR code poster guide for placement tips.
• Real estate showings — share guest WiFi during open houses. See QR codes for real estate.

How to scan the QR code

On iPhone (iOS 11 and later), open the Camera app and point at the code — a notification will appear to join the network. Full walkthrough in our iPhone QR scanning guide.

On Android, most modern Camera apps decode WiFi QRs natively. If yours doesn't, Google Lens handles it from any photo. See scanning QR codes on Android for the full menu of options.

Print size recommendations

A WiFi QR card meant to be scanned from arm's length (about 20–30 cm) works at 3–4 cm square. For a wall-mounted poster meant to be scanned from across a small room, go to 10–15 cm. Run the exact number through our QR size calculator before printing.

Want to track who scans it?

This generator produces a static QR — it works fine but you won't know how many guests scanned it. For that you'd need a dynamic QR code with scan analytics, which Scanely supports on the free plan (3 codes, 1,000 scans/month). The trade-off: a dynamic QR routes through a short link, so it works for URL QRs, not for the offline-readable WiFi payload format.

The practical approach for businesses: print the WiFi QR for actual network joining, and place a separate trackable URL QR next to it that links to your menu, booking page, or feedback form. That's the placement most cafés we work with end up with.
