About Wi-Fi QR Generator
Turn your Wi-Fi login into a QR code that anyone can scan to connect — no reading passwords aloud or typing long SSIDs. Enter your network name, password, and encryption type, and the tool builds a scannable code you can download as a sharp PNG. Point a phone camera at it and the device offers to join the network automatically.
It's built for the moments when sharing a password is a pain: a guest Wi-Fi code taped by the front door, a café or rental sign, or a card for the spare room. Pick WPA/WPA2 for almost any modern router, WEP for old hardware, or None for an open network. Running a hidden network? Tick the hidden-network box so scanning devices still know to connect even though the SSID isn't broadcast. The 320px PNG stays crisp on cards, posters, and printed signs.
Because everything happens in your browser with plain JavaScript, there's no app to install and no Canva account or sign-up to create — just fill in the fields and download. Your SSID and password are used only on your own device to draw the QR image; they're never uploaded, logged, or sent to a server. It's completely free, with no watermarks and no limit on how many Wi-Fi QR codes you make.
Frequently asked questions
- Is the Wi-Fi QR code generator free?
- Yes, it is completely free with no sign-up, watermarks, or limits. Generate and download as many Wi-Fi QR codes as you like.
- Is my Wi-Fi password kept private?
- Yes. The QR code is built entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your SSID and password never leave your device — nothing is uploaded to a server, stored, or logged.
- Does the QR code actually contain my Wi-Fi password?
- Yes. The password is embedded in a standard WIFI: payload along with the network name and encryption type. That is what lets a scanning phone fill in the credentials and connect without anyone typing them.
- How does scanning the QR code join a network?
- The code encodes a WIFI: payload that modern phone cameras recognize. When scanned, the phone prompts to connect to the network automatically, so no one has to type the password or the SSID.
- Do I need an app to create or scan the code?
- No. You make the code right here in your browser with no app or download, and most current iPhones and Android phones scan Wi-Fi QR codes straight from the built-in camera app. Older phones may need a free QR scanner app.
- Is this a pure-JavaScript, client-side generator?
- Yes. It's written in plain JavaScript and runs entirely in your browser, with no server call involved — so there is nothing to clone or self-host from GitHub, and your details stay on your own device.
- Which encryption type should I choose?
- Pick WPA/WPA2 for almost all modern home and office routers. Use WEP only for very old equipment, and choose None for open networks that have no password.
- Can I use this for a hidden network?
- Yes. Tick the 'Hidden network' checkbox and the QR code will flag the SSID as hidden, so scanning devices know to connect even though the network is not broadcast.
- How do I set up a guest Wi-Fi QR code?
- Enter your guest network's name, password, and encryption type, then download the PNG and print it. Place it by the door, on a table tent, or on a guest-room card so visitors can scan and join without asking for the password.
- Can I add a logo to the Wi-Fi QR code?
- This tool generates a clean, high-contrast standard code without a logo overlay, which keeps scanning fast and reliable. If you want branding around it, add the downloaded PNG to your own poster or card design and place your logo alongside the code rather than on top of it.
- What format is the download and can I print it?
- The QR code downloads as a PNG image at 320px, which stays sharp when printed. Put it on a card, poster, or guest-room sign so visitors can scan and connect.
- How is this different from making one in Canva?
- It's purpose-built for Wi-Fi and works in seconds with no account, template, or design step. You just enter your network details and download, and because it runs locally your password is never sent to an online design service.
