WiFi QR Code Generator

1. Type your network name (SSID) exactly as it appears on your phone's WiFi list, including capitals and spaces.
2. Choose the security type. Almost every modern router uses WPA, WPA2 or WPA3; pick "No password" only for open networks.
3. Enter the password and tick "Hidden network" only if your network doesn't broadcast its name.
4. Download the PNG and scan it with your own phone before printing. If it connects, you're done.

The code works offline: it contains the network details themselves, so guests don't need mobile data to join.

The built-in camera app on current iPhones and most Android phones recognises WiFi QR codes and shows a "Join network" prompt. On some older Android phones, open the WiFi settings and look for a QR icon next to "Add network", or use Google Lens. The code uses the standard WIFI: format that phones and routers use themselves, so no app is needed.

Windows 11 laptops can join too, using barcode mode in the Camera app. See how to connect to WiFi with a QR code on Windows.

A WiFi QR code isn't encrypted: anyone who scans it can read the password, just as they could read it off a printed card. Use it for a guest network rather than the network your business systems run on, and change the guest password now and then; you'll only need to print a new code.

This generator builds the code in your browser. The network name and password you type are not sent to QRtracer or stored anywhere.

Put it where people look when they ask for the WiFi: on the reception desk, table cards, a frame near the counter, the room info folder of a holiday rental, or the welcome screen in a meeting room. Add the network name and password in plain text underneath as a fallback for people who prefer to type. Print it at least 3 × 3 cm (about 1.2 in) for close-range scanning and keep the white margin around the code.

Because the password is stored inside the pattern, a WiFi QR code can't be updated after printing; when you change the password, generate and print a new code. That's the trade-off of a static code. For links to menus, forms or websites, a dynamic QR code lets you change the destination without reprinting.
