How to Share Wi-Fi With a QR Code (iPhone and Android)

Make a Wi-Fi QR code so guests join without typing the password. Works with iPhone and Android cameras. Security tips and printable sign ideas.

· 2 min read

Spelling out a Wi-Fi password like "Xk7#pQ2m" to every guest gets old fast. A Wi-Fi QR code lets people join by pointing their camera at a sign.

Make the code

  1. Open the Wi-Fi QR generator.
  2. Type the network name (SSID) exactly as it appears, including capitals and spaces.
  3. Type the password and choose the security type. WPA/WPA2/WPA3 fits almost every modern router.
  4. Check the scan test, then download and print.

How guests use it

On iPhone and Android, open the Camera app and point it at the code. A "Join network" prompt appears. No app needed.

Keep it secure

  • The password is readable by anyone who scans the code. Use a guest network, separate from the network your computers, cameras or payment terminals use.
  • Change the guest password now and then, and print a new code when you do.

Sign ideas

A small framed sign by the entrance, a card in each hotel room, a sticker on the café counter, or a line on your Airbnb welcome sheet. Add a short line such as "Scan to join our Wi-Fi" next to the code.

Make it yourself in under a minute

  1. Open the generator

    The Wi-Fi QR code generator opens with the right content type already selected.

  2. Fill in the content

    Enter the link, network, contact or message. The preview updates instantly.

  3. Brand it (optional)

    Add your logo and colors. The scan test checks every change.

  4. Download and print

    Black codes download free as PNG. Use SVG for print with a paid plan.

Quick answers

Why won't my Wi-Fi QR code connect?

Check that the network name and password match exactly, including capital letters, and that the security type is right.

Can I hide the password?

No. A Wi-Fi QR code must contain the password so the phone can connect. Use a guest network instead.
