What is a WiFi QR code for?
A WiFi QR code stores your network name, password and security type. Anyone who scans it with their phone camera connects straight away, with no need to read out or type a long password full of capitals, numbers and symbols.
It works with the built-in camera on Android and iPhone (iOS 11 or later), without installing any app. It is the easiest way to share your network at home, at the office or in your business, and it avoids typing mistakes.
Advantages
- Connect in a secondGuests join by pointing their camera, without asking for the password or mistyping it.
- Strong passwords without hassleYou can use a long, hard-to-guess password, because nobody has to type it.
- Fewer interruptionsIn a business, staff stop repeating the password to every customer and can focus on serving them.
- A better impressionA sign with the WiFi QR code on the table or at reception shows order and care for your guests.
- No apps neededModern phone cameras recognize the code and offer to join the network straight away.

See the detailed instructions
- Enter the network name (SSID) exactly as it appears on your router, including capitals and spaces.
- Enter the password and choose the security type: WPA/WPA2 is the most common; WEP only for old routers, and "no password" for open networks.
- Tick "Hidden network" only if your network does not appear in the list of available networks.
- Customize colors and shapes, or add a logo so it matches your brand.
- Download the code as PNG, SVG or PDF, print it and test it with two different phones before putting it up.
Ideas for using it
- Restaurants and cafés: on every table, next to the menu.
- Hotels and holiday rentals: at reception or in the room.
- Offices and meeting rooms: for the guest network.
- Clinics, salons and waiting rooms.
- Your home: a frame by the door or on the fridge for visitors.
- Events, trade fairs and coworking spaces where many people connect at once.
Tips so it always works
Use a guest network separate from your main one: you share internet without giving access to your other devices. If you change the router password, the old code stops working and you will need a new one.
Print the code with good contrast (dark on a light background) and at least 3 × 3 cm (about 1.2 in). Add a short line such as "Scan to join the WiFi" so people know what it does.
Size, color and contrast for your WiFi QR code
A WiFi QR code usually lives in a fixed spot: a card on the table, a sign by reception or a frame in a holiday rental. People scan it from about 12 to 20 in (30 to 50 cm), so 1.2 to 2 in (3 to 5 cm) per side is enough. If you put it on the wall of a café or a waiting room, go up to 4 in (10 cm) or more. Long passwords create a denser code: in that case don't go below 1.6 in (4 cm), even for close-up scanning.
Use a dark color for the dots and a white background. If you laminate the card or place it behind acrylic, choose a matte finish: glare from lamps is the most common reason a camera can't focus on the code. Write the network name and password underneath in plain text for anyone connecting from a laptop or a phone that can't read this kind of code.

Frequently asked questions
Is it safe to share my WiFi with a QR code?
The code contains the password, so anyone who scans it can connect. Only place it where you want to give access and, ideally, use a guest network.
Do I need an app to scan it?
No. The camera on most Android phones and on iPhones with iOS 11 or later recognizes the code and offers to join the network.
Does a WiFi QR code expire?
No. It works as long as you do not change the network name or password. If you change them, generate a new code.
What if it does not connect?
Check that the network name and password are typed exactly the same, with capitals and spaces, and that the security type is correct.
Can I create a QR code for a network without a password?
Yes. Under "Security" choose "Open" and leave the password empty. The code will only store the network name, and the phone will connect straight away when it's scanned.
Does it work on laptops and tablets?
Tablets with a camera work just like a phone. Laptops usually can't scan QR codes, which is why it's a good idea to write the password next to the code as well.
My router has two networks (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz). What should I do?
Each QR code stores a single network. Create a code for the network you'd rather your guests use or, if your router allows it, merge both bands under the same name and password.
