Make a Wi-Fi QR code

A Wi-Fi code means guests never have to type your password.

Make the code

  1. Open the Wi-Fi tab. It is in the generator.
  2. Enter the network name. Type it exactly as it appears on your phone, including capital letters, in Network name (SSID).
  3. Choose the security. Pick WPA / WPA2 for most home and office networks, WEP for old equipment, or None for an open network.
  4. Type the password. The Password field is hidden when you choose None.
  5. Tick Hidden network if you need to. Do this only if your network does not show up in the list of available networks.
  6. Download and test. Save the code as PNG or SVG, and scan it with a phone.

Good to know

  • Special characters such as ; , : and \ in the name or password are handled for you.
  • The password is stored inside the QR code, so anyone who can scan it can join. Print it where you are happy for people to use the network.
  • A guest network with its own password is a safer choice for a code you leave on display.

If a phone scans the code but does not connect, see A Wi-Fi QR code does not connect.
