Free WiFi QR code generator
Why a WiFi QR is better than a printed password
Reciting a 14-character mixed-case Wi-Fi password to a customer is one of the worst customer-experience moments in hospitality. A WiFi QR cuts it to one scan.
The QR encodes the SSID, password, and encryption type in a Wi-Fi Alliance-standard URI. iOS and Android both decode it natively and offer to join the network — no clipboard, no typing, no spelling out 'capital P, lowercase a, three…'.
What you need
Three things:
- Network name (SSID) — case-sensitive, exactly as broadcast
- Password — leave blank for an open network
- Encryption type — WPA / WPA2 / WPA3 (most networks) or WEP (rare, deprecated) or none
Print sizing
WiFi QRs are typically scanned at close range (1m or less), so they don't need to be huge. Minimum 3cm × 3cm on a table tent; 5cm × 5cm on a wall sign. Print on matte paper to avoid glare.
Frequently asked
Is this WiFi QR generator really free?
Yes. Generating WiFi QRs is free forever, no account, no watermark on the basic export. We make money from dynamic QR codes (where you can change the destination later) and high-volume packs — neither applies to a static WiFi QR.
Will the WiFi QR keep working if I change my password?
Static WiFi QRs encode the password into the QR matrix permanently. If you change your password, you need to regenerate and reprint the QR. If you change passwords often, use a dynamic QR — change the password in the QRshop dashboard, the printed QR updates instantly.
Can scanners see my WiFi password?
Yes — anyone who scans the QR with a generic decoder can see the password as plain text. WiFi QRs are designed for trusted environments (your café, your home guest network) — not for high-security networks.
