Wi-Fi QR Code Generator

Turn your Wi-Fi network into a scannable QR code. Guests join with one tap from the iPhone or Android camera — no typing the password.

Exactly as it appears in your router — case sensitive, 1–32 characters.

WPA passwords are 8–63 characters.

Enable if your router does not broadcast its SSID.

Open the Camera (or Google Lens) on Android 10+, point at the QR, and tap the Connect prompt.

Other devices

Any QR reader that supports the WIFI: URI scheme will offer a one-tap join — common in modern Samsung, Xiaomi and Pixel cameras.

About the Wi-Fi QR code generator

The ReadBarcode Wi-Fi QR code generator turns your network name, password and security type into a scannable QR code that joins the Wi-Fi in one tap. Print it, stick it on the fridge, or drop it into a welcome guide — no more reading a 20-character WPA password out loud.

The encoded string follows the de-facto WIFI:T:…;S:…;P:…;H:…;; format that iOS Camera, Android Camera and most third-party QR readers recognise natively. Generation happens entirely in your browser using the open-source qrcode library — your password never leaves your device.

When to use it

  • Cafés, restaurants and co-working spaces sharing guest Wi-Fi.
  • Airbnbs and short-term rentals — print one card for the kitchen.
  • Conference rooms and event venues with rotating guest networks.
  • Home networks when family or visitors keep asking for the password.
  • Schools, classrooms and libraries with shared device carts.
  • Retail backrooms where staff devices need to rejoin the network.

How it works

  1. 1Step 1
    Enter your network

    Type the SSID exactly as it appears in your router settings.

  2. 2Step 2
    Pick security

    WPA covers WPA/WPA2/WPA3. Use WEP only for legacy networks, or No password for open Wi-Fi.

  3. 3Step 3
    Enter the password

    8–63 characters for WPA. Toggle the eye icon to verify what you typed.

  4. 4Step 4
    Flag hidden networks

    Enable Hidden if your router does not broadcast its SSID.

  5. 5Step 5
    Download PNG or SVG

    PNG for screens and quick prints. SVG for cards, signs and packaging.

What to avoid

  • Typos in the SSID — Wi-Fi names are case sensitive and a single wrong character means no connection.
  • Sharing a QR for your main network with strangers — set up a separate guest SSID instead.
  • Printing the QR very small without bumping error correction to Q or H.
  • Inverting the colours (light QR on a dark background) — many phone cameras refuse to scan them.
  • Embedding control characters or emoji that some routers strip — keep the SSID printable ASCII.

Tips & tricks

  • Print the QR alongside the SSID and password in text — useful for devices that cannot scan.
  • Laminate it if it lives somewhere wet (kitchen, gym, pool).
  • Rotate the guest password regularly and regenerate the QR — it takes 10 seconds.
  • Test the QR with both an iPhone and an Android before you print a batch.
  • Use the QR Code Reader on this site to confirm the payload decodes correctly.

Your password stays on your device

SSIDs and passwords are encoded locally with the open-source qrcode library. Nothing is uploaded, logged, or saved to our servers — close the tab and the credentials are gone.
