WiFi QR Code Generator: Let Guests Connect Instantly
Stop spelling out your WiFi password. Create a QR code that connects phones to your network with a single scan. Free, no signup, takes 10 seconds.
How to create a WiFi QR code in 3 steps
Open the WiFi tab
Go to OneQR and click the WiFi tab at the top of the generator. This switches to WiFi QR mode.
Enter your network details
Type your network name (SSID) exactly as it appears on your router. Enter the password. Select your encryption type — WPA/WPA2 for most modern networks. If your network has no password, select "None".
Generate and download
Click Generate. Download as SVG for print (perfect at any size) or PNG for digital. Print and place wherever guests need WiFi — tables, walls, welcome cards.
WiFi QR code security: what you should know
Use WPA2 or WPA3. These are the current security standards. Never use WEP — it can be cracked in minutes.
Create a guest network. Most routers let you set up a separate guest network. Share that via QR instead of your main network, so visitors can't access your printers, NAS, or other devices.
The password is in the QR code. Anyone who scans it gets access. This is intentional — the QR code replaces telling people the password verbally. If you change the password, you'll need a new QR code.
Where to use WiFi QR codes
Restaurants & cafes
Print the QR code on table tents, menus, or the counter. Guests connect without asking staff for the password. Reduces interruptions and improves the experience.
Airbnbs & vacation rentals
Put a framed QR code by the router or on the welcome card. Guests connect in seconds — no hunting for the password on the fridge or in a welcome binder.
Offices & coworking spaces
Mount near the entrance or in meeting rooms. Visitors and contractors connect to the guest network without IT support. Saves time for everyone.
Events & conferences
Display on signage, badges, or projector slides. Hundreds of attendees connect simultaneously without a help desk bottleneck.
Retail stores
Offer free WiFi to keep customers browsing longer. A QR code at the entrance or checkout makes connecting effortless.
Hotels & lobbies
Replace the 'ask at front desk' experience. Place QR codes in rooms, the lobby, and common areas so guests self-serve.

Frequently asked questions
What is a WiFi QR code?
A WiFi QR code encodes your network name (SSID), password, and encryption type into a scannable code. When someone scans it with their phone camera, their device connects to the network automatically — no typing required.
Is it free to create a WiFi QR code?
Yes. OneQR generates WiFi QR codes completely free — unlimited, no signup, no watermark. You can download as SVG for print or PNG for digital use.
Is sharing my WiFi password via QR code safe?
The password is encoded in the QR code data, so anyone who scans it gets access. This is the same as telling someone your password — the QR code just makes it faster. Use WPA2 or WPA3 encryption, and consider creating a separate guest network so visitors can't access your main devices.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. iPhones running iOS 11+ and Android phones running Android 10+ can scan WiFi QR codes natively with their camera app. Older devices may need a QR scanner app.
What if I change my WiFi password?
You'll need to generate a new QR code with the updated password. If you have the QR code printed, you'll need to reprint it. Tip: set a stable guest password that you rarely change and use a dedicated guest network.
What encryption type should I choose?
Choose WPA/WPA2 — it's the standard for modern networks and the most widely supported. WPA3 is newer and more secure but not all devices support it yet. Never use WEP (it's insecure and outdated). If your network has no password, select 'None'.
