What the phone reads
A WiFi QR stores the network name, security type, and password in the payload. Guests scan once and their phone offers to join. It is not a website link. If you need a help page instead, use a URL QR to that page.

WiFi QR code generator
Create a scan-ready WiFi QR for cafes, offices, events, rentals, and guest networks so people join without typing the password.
Quick answer
Use a WiFi QR when a phone should join the network from the encoded SSID, encryption type, and password. Print it only where guests are meant to connect.
Works without signup
Create and download a static QR code for free. Pro is available when you need saved codes, analytics, editable destinations, or campaign controls.
Cafes, offices, and rentals
Counter signs, meeting-room posters, and Airbnb nightstand cards all work when the code is large enough for the room. Test from the farthest seat, not only at the router. Reprint if you rotate the passphrase.
Print and contrast
Use strong contrast, keep a quiet zone, and avoid placing the code behind a glass glare. Download PNG for a home printer or SVG for a small sign run. No account is required for a static WiFi QR.
Password exposure
Anyone who can scan the code can read the password. Put it at the guest desk, not on a street-facing window, unless that network is meant to be public.
When Pro is useful
Saved codes, analytics, and editable campaigns are Pro features. The free static WiFi path stays available if you only need a downloadable join code.

Scan-safe publishing checklist
- Keep strong contrast between the code and background.
- Preserve the quiet zone around the QR code.
- Test the final artwork on multiple phones before printing.
- Use Pro dynamic controls when the destination may change later.
Questions
Can I make a WiFi QR code for free?
Yes. A static WiFi QR can be created and downloaded without an account.
Does a WiFi QR code expose the password?
The password is encoded in the QR payload, so only print it in places where guests are meant to join the network.
Can I change the WiFi password later?
A static WiFi QR is fixed after download. If the passphrase changes, create and print a new code, or use a managed campaign workflow on Pro.
