Why a WiFi QR code helps
One of the most tedious things at a cafe, a shop, or at home with guests is reading out the WiFi password and having people type it in. With a WiFi QR code, a guest just points their camera at it and connects to the network automatically.
The QR encodes the network name (SSID), password, and security type in a fixed format. Most modern phones recognize this format in the default camera app and show a "Join network" prompt.
Steps to create one
In the "Create QR" tab on this site, choose the "WiFi" type. Then enter the network name (SSID) and password, and select the security type that matches your router.
The preview generates instantly on the right, and you can download it as PNG or SVG to print or display. Everything is processed in your browser, so the password is never sent to a server.
Choosing the security type
Most home and shop routers use WPA/WPA2. If you're unsure, choosing WPA is almost always correct. For an open network with no password, select "No password" and leave the password field empty.
If your router hides the SSID, turn on the "Hidden network" option so some devices connect properly. Even if your SSID or password contains special characters such as a semicolon (;) or quotation mark ("), this tool escapes them correctly for you.
Practical tips
Laminate the printed QR or put it in a frame on the counter or table so it lasts. Use SVG for printing (it scales without quality loss) and PNG for sharing on screen or via messengers.
If you change the password, the old QR code stops working, so regenerate and replace it whenever the password changes.
