Wi-Fi QR Code
Create a Wi-Fi QR code with SSID, password and security type so guests and customers join your network with one scan. Free PNG and SVG, no login.
In short
A Wi-Fi QR code lets guests connect to your wireless network by scanning it with their phone camera instead of typing the password. It encodes the network name (SSID), security type (WPA/WPA2, WEP or open) and password in the standard WIFI: format that Android and iOS understand. The tool generates it in your browser and downloads a PNG or SVG.
Fill in the details to generate your QR code.
Is the password exposed?
The password is inside the QR, so anyone who scans it can join. Print it only where you want guests to connect.
About the wi-fi qr code tool
A Wi-Fi QR code carries your network name and password in a format phones recognise natively. Scanning it with the camera app on Android or iPhone shows a Join network prompt, and the phone connects without anyone reading a password aloud. Cafes, co-working spaces, clinics, hotels, guest houses and offices in India print them at reception so staff stop repeating the password all day, and so the password can be long and secure instead of shop1234.
Passwords written on a whiteboard are misread, letter case gets confused, and every wrong attempt costs a staff member's time. Some free QR sites send your Wi-Fi password to their server, which is a poor idea for an office network. This tool builds the WIFI:T:WPA;S:name;P:password;; string entirely in your browser, escapes special characters correctly, and gives you a clean PNG or SVG. Nothing is uploaded and nothing is stored.
Print it on a table tent using the QR Label Sheets tool, or add it to a welcome card next to your UPI QR so guests can both connect and pay with one scan each.
How to create a Wi-Fi QR code
- 1
Enter the network name
Type the SSID exactly as it appears on phones in the Network name (SSID) field, including spaces and capital letters.
- 2
Choose the security type
Pick WPA/WPA2 for almost every modern router, WEP only for very old equipment, or Open for a network with no password. The Password field is disabled for open networks.
- 3
Enter the password
Type the Wi-Fi password. Special characters such as ; and : are escaped automatically so the code stays valid.
- 4
Test the scan
Scan the preview with a phone that is not yet connected. If the SSID or password is wrong the phone will fail to join, so fix it before printing.
- 5
Download PNG or SVG
Click PNG for a laminated card at the counter or SVG for a larger sign. Copy data copies the raw WIFI: string if you need it for another design.
What the Wi-Fi QR encodes
- WIFI:T:<security>;S:<ssid>;P:<password>;; is the standard format read by Android and iOS cameras
- T is WPA for WPA/WPA2/WPA3 personal networks, WEP for legacy routers, or nopass for open networks
- S is the SSID, case-sensitive and including any spaces
- P is the password; the characters \ ; , : and " are escaped with a backslash
- WPA2 with a 12-character or longer passphrase is the sensible minimum for a business network
- Hidden networks: the QR still carries the SSID and password, but some phones need the network unhidden to auto-join
- The password is readable by anyone who scans, so use a guest network separate from your billing and CCTV devices
Who uses the wi-fi qr code
Cafes and restaurants
A table tent with the Wi-Fi QR means guests connect themselves and staff take orders instead of spelling passwords. Change the password monthly and reprint in minutes.
Guest houses and homestays
Put the QR in each room's welcome card. Guests join on arrival without WhatsApping the host at midnight.
Offices and co-working spaces
Print a guest-network QR at reception for visitors and vendors, keeping the staff network password private.
Clinics and waiting rooms
Offer Wi-Fi to waiting patients with a sign near the seating area, reducing questions at the reception desk.
Wi-Fi QR Code: frequently asked questions
- Does a Wi-Fi QR code work on iPhone?
- Yes. iOS 11 and later recognise the WIFI: format in the built-in Camera app and show a Join network banner. Older iPhones need a third-party scanner app. Android has supported it in the camera or Google Lens since Android 10, and most older phones read it through Lens.
- Is my Wi-Fi password sent anywhere when I generate the QR?
- No. VyaparKit generates the QR image in your browser with JavaScript, and the SSID and password never leave your device. There is no server call, no account needed and nothing is saved. You can even generate it while offline once the page has loaded.
- Can I make a QR for a hidden Wi-Fi network?
- The code still contains the SSID and password, and many phones connect fine. Some Android versions ignore hidden networks when joining from a QR, so if guests report failures, unhide the network or have them enter it manually once. WPA2 with a strong password is safer than hiding the SSID.
- What happens when I change the Wi-Fi password?
- The old QR stops working because the password is encoded in the pattern. Generate a new code with the new password and replace the printed cards. Since the tool is free and instant, many businesses rotate the guest password monthly.
- Which security option should I pick for my router?
- Choose WPA/WPA2 unless your router is very old. This option also works for WPA3 personal networks, since phones treat the T:WPA hint generically. Use WEP only if the router literally offers nothing else, and Open only for a network that truly has no password.
