How to Create a WiFi QR Code
- Open QRCodeGen.ai — Select "WiFi" as the QR code type.
- Enter your network name — This is your SSID, the name that appears when people search for WiFi networks.
- Enter your password — Type your WiFi password exactly as set on your router.
- Select encryption type — Choose WPA/WPA2 (most common), WPA3, WEP, or None for open networks.
- Customize and download — Add your brand colors or logo, then export as PNG or SVG.
WiFi QR Code Format Explained
WiFi QR codes encode network credentials in a standard text format that all smartphones understand:
- T: — Encryption type (WPA, WEP, or nopass for open networks)
- S: — SSID (your network name)
- P: — Password (omit for open networks)
- H: — Optional. Set to "true" for hidden networks
You don't need to memorize this — QRCodeGen.ai handles the formatting automatically. Just fill in the fields and the QR code is generated instantly.
Where to Use WiFi QR Codes

- ✅ Print large enough to scan easily — at least 3cm × 3cm
- ✅ Add your brand logo to the QR code for a professional look
- ✅ Test the QR code on both iPhone and Android before printing

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I create a WiFi QR code?
Go to QRCodeGen.ai and select 'WiFi' as the QR code type. Enter your network name (SSID), password, and encryption type (usually WPA/WPA2). Click generate, then download or print the QR code. Anyone who scans it will connect to your WiFi automatically.
Does a WiFi QR code work with iPhone and Android?
Yes. iPhones running iOS 11 or later and all modern Android phones can scan WiFi QR codes with their built-in camera app. When scanned, a prompt appears asking to join the network — tap 'Join' or 'Connect' and you're online instantly.
Is my WiFi password safe in a QR code?
Your password is encoded directly into the QR code image — it's not sent to any server. QRCodeGen.ai generates everything in your browser, so your credentials never leave your device. However, anyone who scans the QR code can see the password, so treat the printed QR code like you would your written password.
What is the WiFi QR code format?
WiFi QR codes use the standard format: WIFI:T:WPA;S:YourNetworkName;P:YourPassword;; where T is the encryption type (WPA, WEP, or nopass), S is the SSID (network name), and P is the password. QRCodeGen.ai handles this formatting automatically — just fill in the fields.
What's the difference between WPA2 and WPA3 for WiFi QR codes?
Both WPA2 and WPA3 work with WiFi QR codes. WPA3 is newer and more secure, but WPA2 is still the most common. In the QR code format, both use 'WPA' as the encryption type value. The QR code simply passes the password to the phone — the actual encryption negotiation happens between the phone and your router.
Can I create a WiFi QR code for a hidden network?
Yes. QRCodeGen.ai supports hidden (non-broadcast) SSIDs. When creating your WiFi QR code, enter your network name exactly as configured on your router. The phone will attempt to connect to the hidden network by name using the provided credentials.
Where should I display my WiFi QR code?
Common placements include: reception desks, hotel room cards, restaurant table tents, office meeting rooms, Airbnb welcome guides, and retail checkout areas. Print it large enough to scan easily (at least 3cm × 3cm) and add a label like 'Scan to Connect to WiFi'.
Do I need to update the QR code if I change my WiFi password?
Yes. Unlike URL QR codes, WiFi QR codes contain the password directly in the image. If you change your WiFi password, you'll need to generate and print a new QR code with the updated credentials. It takes under a minute on QRCodeGen.ai.
