What security type should I choose for my WiFi QR code?

Choose WPA2/WPA3 for modern routers. Use WEP only for legacy devices. Select "None / Open" only for intentionally open networks.

Can guests connect just by scanning, without typing a password?

Yes. When a mobile device scans the WiFi QR code, it reads the WIFI: string and automatically offers to join the network — no password typing required.

Is my WiFi password stored after generation?

No. The generator runs entirely in your browser. Your password is used only to render the QR code on the canvas. Nothing is logged or sent to any server.

Does the QR code expire?

Never. A WiFi QR code remains valid as long as your network name and password stay the same. If you change your password, generate a new code.

Who Uses WiFi QR Codes?

A WiFi QR code replaces the awkward ritual of reading out a complex password and waiting while guests type it in. Print it, frame it, or add it to a card.

🏠

Home & Family

Hang a printed card near your router. Guests connect in seconds without asking for the password — and you never have to share it verbally again.

☕

Cafés & Restaurants

Add a QR code to table cards, menus, or window stickers. Customers get instant access to your guest network without interrupting staff.

🏨

Hotels & Airbnbs

Place a printed card on the welcome desk. Guests scan on arrival and connect all their devices. No more "WiFi password?" messages at 2 AM.

🏢

Offices & Coworking

Display the visitor WiFi QR code in the reception area or meeting rooms. Keep your internal network separate with a dedicated guest QR code.

🎉

Events & Venues

Print the QR code on event programs, lanyards, or signage. Attendees connect at once rather than bottlenecking on a shared password.

🏫

Schools & Libraries

Post QR codes in classrooms and study areas for student guest networks. Update the password regularly by printing new codes — no IT announcement needed.

Best Practices for WiFi QR Codes

✓
Use a separate guest network
Most modern routers support a guest SSID isolated from your main network. Put that password in the QR code, not your primary network password, so guests cannot access other devices on your LAN.
✓
Print at least 2 × 2 cm
QR codes smaller than 2 cm across are hard for mobile cameras to detect reliably. The generator outputs 512 × 512 px — at 300 DPI this is about 4.3 × 4.3 cm, which is ideal.
✓
Test before printing in bulk
After downloading, open the image and scan it with a separate device. Verify the SSID and password are correct before printing 50 table cards.
✓
Rotate your guest password periodically
Generate a new QR code whenever you update the password. Keep the old code out of circulation to prevent unauthorized access.
