How It Works

A WiFi QR code is not a “special WiFi feature” of your router—it's simply a QR code that encodes a short text payload in a widely used format. When a phone camera or QR scanner recognizes that payload, the operating system offers to join the network by filling the SSID, security type, and password automatically. You control exactly what gets encoded.

Step-by-step

• 1) Enter your SSID: Type the network name exactly as it appears on devices (case-sensitive).
• 2) Choose security: Select WPA/WPA2/WPA3 (most common), WEP (legacy), or “No password” for open networks.
• 3) Add the password: Provide the WiFi password if the network is secured.
• 4) Optional hidden network: Mark hidden if the SSID is not broadcast (some devices handle this differently).
• 5) Generate and download: The QR code is created instantly in your browser and can be saved as an image for printing or sharing.

Because the QR image is generated on the page, you can preview it immediately and copy the underlying WiFi payload for verification or documentation.

Key Features

WiFi QR payload formatting

Generates a WiFi QR payload using the well-known WIFI: schema (SSID, authentication type, password, and hidden flag) so camera apps can recognize it as a network join request.

Works for common security types

Supports WPA/WPA2/WPA3 (select “WPA”), WEP for older routers, and open networks (no password). The generator prevents common mistakes such as forgetting the password for secured networks.

Printable, shareable output

Preview the QR code at a crisp size and download it for printouts, desk placards, welcome packets, or digital signage. You can also copy the encoded payload for audit or backup.

Privacy-friendly workflow

The QR is produced in the browser session from your inputs. You can clear the form with one click and regenerate any time you change a password or rename the network.

Simple, focused UI

A clean two-panel layout keeps inputs on the left and the generated QR on the right, with a guided empty state and clear actions for generate, reset, copy, and download.

Use Cases

• Homes and apartments: Put a QR code on the fridge so visitors can join without asking for the password again.
• Small offices: Add a QR to onboarding documents for new team members or contractors.
• Guest networks: Encourage guests to use a separated guest SSID by making it the easiest option to connect.
• Events and workshops: Print a poster at the entrance with the QR code for fast check-in connectivity.
• Hospitality and retail: Display a QR at the counter or on menus so customers can connect quickly if you provide WiFi.
• IT and support: Share a QR in tickets or internal docs to reduce back-and-forth on credentials.

In all of these scenarios, the goal is the same: eliminate typing errors, reduce support requests, and keep the connection process smooth—especially when passwords are long and complex.

Optimization Tips

Use a guest network

For visitors, prefer a dedicated guest SSID that is isolated from internal devices. You can rotate the guest password without disrupting staff devices and regenerate the QR in seconds.

Increase scan reliability

When printing, keep a comfortable size (for example, 3–5 cm or larger) and avoid glossy reflections. High contrast helps: a dark QR on a light background is easiest for cameras.

Rotate credentials safely

If you update your router password, regenerate the QR and replace old posters. Keep a simple date note in your internal documentation so you can track which QR is current.
