Create a QR code and a print-ready WiFi sign in one place. Guests can scan or type the details.
Choose a sign style, then add the exact network name and password shown by your router.
Only enable this when the WiFi name is not broadcast.
Useful when a guest cannot scan the QR code.
Printed on the sign only. Add a short instruction guests can follow if WiFi fails.
Your WiFi password stays on this device
The QR code and sign are generated in your browser.
Check the finished sign or QR code before you download, print, or share it.
The preview is the same artwork you will download or print.
Next, choose a printer or Save as PDF in the browser dialog. Match the paper size and check the preview before printing.
How it works
A WiFi QR code removes the two mistakes that cause most guest connection problems: choosing the wrong network and mistyping a long password. The generator keeps the process on one page and gives you a result you can test before sharing.
Copy the WiFi name exactly as it appears on the router or a connected device. WiFi names and passwords are case-sensitive. Choose WPA for most WPA, WPA2, and WPA3 Personal networks, WEP only for an older WEP network, or None for a truly open network. Mark Hidden network when the SSID is not broadcast.
The free WiFi QR code generator converts those details into the standard WiFi QR text format. Punctuation and reserved characters are escaped before encoding. The finished symbol is then decoded again in your browser, so a basic encoding problem can be reported before you download or share it.
Scan the result with a phone that is not already connected to the network. Confirm that it offers the correct WiFi name, then complete the connection. Download a crisp PNG for everyday use or an SVG when the code must stay sharp at different sizes. Need a complete display? Continue to the dedicated printable WiFi sign maker.
WiFi QR code guide
A reliable result starts with understanding what is inside the square. It is not a remote login service or a link to a password database. It is a compact set of connection instructions that a compatible phone can read.
A typical payload looks like WIFI:T:WPA;S:NetworkName;P:Password;;. The T field describes security, S is the SSID, P is the password, and H can identify a hidden network. You do not need to write this text yourself. The generator formats it and escapes characters such as semicolons, colons, commas, quotes, and backslashes so they are not mistaken for separators.
For a normal home or guest network protected by WPA, WPA2, or WPA3 Personal, choose WPA. Select WEP only when the router genuinely uses that obsolete security method. Choose None only for an open network with no password. Enterprise WiFi that asks for a username, certificate, domain, or EAP method needs more settings than this simple format carries and is not supported here.
Current iPhones and many Android phones recognize WiFi information through the built-in camera or system QR scanner. The phone still decides whether to show a Join prompt, and older devices or third-party camera apps may only display the encoded text. Keep the network name and password available as a fallback when sharing access with a mixed group of devices.
First check capitalization, spaces, the selected security type, and the Hidden network setting. Next, scan from a screen before printing. If the digital version works but the printed one does not, restore a white margin around the code, use dark modules on a light background, avoid stretching it, and print it large enough for the expected viewing distance. Test again after every design or password change.
Match the setting to the network configuration, not to the brand or age of the phone that will scan it.
| Generator option | What it represents | Choose it when |
|---|---|---|
| WPA | Password-protected WPA, WPA2, or WPA3 Personal WiFi | This is the correct choice for most current home, guest, and small-business networks. |
| WEP | An older network explicitly configured to use WEP | Use it only when the router settings say WEP; consider upgrading the network security. |
| None | An open WiFi network with no password | Leave the password empty and use this only when anyone nearby is allowed to join. |
Built for a dependable result
The useful parts are available directly on the page. There is no account wall, watermark, expiry date, or requirement to route a guest through a tracking URL.
The network name and password are used by code running in your browser. They are not submitted to our server to create the QR image. Use the same care you would use with any saved copy: anyone who can read the final code may be able to join that network.
Create codes for WPA/WPA2/WPA3 Personal, WEP, open, and hidden networks. Correct escaping lets network names and passwords contain punctuation without breaking the WiFi field structure. Enterprise credentials and certificate-based access remain outside the tool's scope.
After generation, the browser reads the pixels back and compares the decoded result with the intended WiFi payload. That check catches many encoding failures, but it cannot confirm that the router password is correct. A real scan-and-connect test is still the final proof.
PNG is convenient for messages, documents, and common image editors. SVG is a vector file, so edges stay clean when the code is resized for a card, poster, or other layout. Keep the original proportions and an empty margin around either format.
The form, validation, preview, and downloads work in a mobile browser. You can create a code beside the router, test it with another device, and save the result without installing a QR generator app or creating a user profile.
If guests also need to read the network name or type the password manually, use the separate printable sign tool. It combines the tested code with human-readable details while this homepage stays focused on fast WiFi QR code generation.
These are real layouts from the same tool. Every network name and password shown is fictional.
Short answers about compatibility, privacy, downloads, and common connection problems.
It stores your network name, security type, password, and hidden-network setting in a standard WiFi text format. A compatible phone reads that data and offers to join the network. The person scanning still confirms the connection on their device.
No. Generation and validation run locally in your browser. The page does not need an account or an API request containing your WiFi details. The downloaded QR code does contain the credentials, so share or display it only where intended users can access it.
Yes. WPA, WPA2, and WPA3 Personal networks use the WPA value recognized by current phone QR readers. Enterprise networks that require usernames, certificates, domains, or EAP settings are not supported by this generator.
Check capitalization and spaces in the network name and password, confirm the security type, and enable Hidden network if the SSID is not broadcast. Test the on-screen code on another current phone. If only the printed version fails, increase its size, contrast, and white margin.
Yes. The generator escapes reserved punctuation before it builds the WiFi payload. Enter the real characters exactly as configured on the router; do not add your own backslashes. Always test the result because device support can differ.
The old QR code still contains the old password, so it must be replaced. Return to the generator, enter the new credentials, test the new result, and remove old digital or printed copies that guests might continue to scan.
Yes. You can download the code alone as PNG or SVG. For a complete layout that also shows the network name and password, open the printable WiFi sign tool and choose a suitable scene and paper size.
Yes. The core generator, browser-based validation, PNG and SVG downloads, and printable sign options are available without registration, a watermark, or an expiration date.
Create a private, scan-tested QR code now, or turn it into a clear sign when guests need a readable fallback.
