How to Create a WiFi QR Code (Free, No App)

A 2-minute guide to letting guests connect to your WiFi with one scan — no spelled-out passwords, no downloads.

If you've ever had to spell out “capital S, lowercase y, dollar sign, seven, three” to a guest trying to join your WiFi, you already know why WiFi QR codes exist. Print one, stick it on the wall, and people connect by pointing their camera at it. No app, no typos, no repeating the password for the third time.

Here's exactly how to make one — for free, right in your browser.

What a WiFi QR code actually does

A WiFi QR code isn't a link. It's a small text string encoded into the QR pattern, formatted like WIFI:T:WPA;S:NetworkName;P:Password;;. When a phone camera reads that format, it recognizes it instantly and offers a “Join Network” button — the password is typed in automatically, behind the scenes.

This works natively on iPhones (iOS 11 and later) and nearly all modern Android phones. No extra app needed on either end.

Skip the manual steps.

QR Here's generator builds a properly formatted WiFi QR code in seconds — entirely in your browser, nothing uploaded to a server.

Create Your WiFi QR Code

How to create a WiFi QR code

  1. Open the QR generator and select the WiFi option.
  2. Enter your network name (SSID) exactly as it appears on your router — it's case-sensitive.
  3. Add your password and choose the correct security type: WPA/WPA2 (most common), WPA3, or WEP for older routers. If your network has no password, select “no encryption.”
  4. Check “hidden network” only if your SSID doesn't broadcast publicly.
  5. Customize it (optional). Add your logo, adjust colors, or apply a frame so it fits your space.
  6. Download as SVG for sharp printing at any size, or PNG for digital use.

Where WiFi QR codes are genuinely useful

  • Airbnbs and guest rooms — leave it on a card by the bed instead of a sticky note.
  • Cafes and restaurants — print it on the table or receipt.
  • Offices — a laminated card at reception saves IT from repeating the guest password all day.
  • Home — frame it near the router so family and friends stop asking.

Before you print it

Test the code with two or three different phones first — don't assume it works just because it looks right. Keep a quiet white border around the code (no text or logos crowding the edges), and if you're adding a center logo, make sure your generator applies high error correction, or the code may fail to scan once printed.

Is it safe to share your WiFi password this way?

Yes, as long as the QR code was generated locally in your browser rather than sent to someone else's server. QR Here never uploads or stores what you type — the code is built entirely on your device, so your password never leaves your screen.

Quick answers

Does the WiFi QR code expire?
No. It works for as long as the network name and password stay the same. Change your WiFi password, and you'll need a new code.

Can I make one for a hidden network?
Yes — just tick the hidden network option when generating it so scanners know to look for it.

Will it work on older phones?
Most phones from the last several years support it natively. Very old devices may need a separate QR scanner app to read the code, though they'll still connect fine once scanned.
