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.
QR appearance
WIFI:T:WPA;S:MyNetwork;P:supersecret;H:false;;Files are generated on your device — nothing is uploaded.
Open the Camera app, point at the QR, and tap the Wi-Fi notification. Works on iOS 11 and newer.
Open the Camera (or Google Lens) on Android 10+, point at the QR, and tap the Connect prompt.
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
- Enter your network
Type the SSID exactly as it appears in your router settings.
- Pick security
WPA covers WPA/WPA2/WPA3. Use WEP only for legacy networks, or No password for open Wi-Fi.
- Enter the password
8–63 characters for WPA. Toggle the eye icon to verify what you typed.
- Flag hidden networks
Enable Hidden if your router does not broadcast its SSID.
- 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.
