Go to our homepage where you'll find the free QR code generator. You'll see the type selector at the top with various QR code options.
Tip: Works on any device - desktop, tablet, or phone.
Click on "WiFi" in the type selector. You'll see a WiFi icon. Once selected, the form will change to show WiFi-specific fields.
Tip: If you've previously entered content for another type, it will be cleared when you switch.
In the "Network Name" field, type your WiFi network name exactly as it appears in the list of available networks on your devices. This is case-sensitive!
Tip: Check your router settings or an already-connected device if you're unsure of the exact name.
Type your WiFi password in the password field. Make sure it's exactly correct - even one wrong character will prevent connections.
Tip: Double-check for typos, especially with similar characters like 0/O or 1/l.
Choose your network's security type. Most modern networks use "WPA/WPA2" - select this unless you know your network uses something different. Options are: WPA/WPA2/WPA3 (most common), WEP (older, less secure), or No Password (open networks).
Tip: If unsure, check your router's admin page or look at WiFi settings on a connected device.
If your network is hidden (doesn't broadcast its name), toggle on the "Hidden Network" option. This tells devices to search for the network even though it's not visible.
Tip: Most home and business networks are NOT hidden. Only enable this if you specifically set up a hidden network.
The preview updates in real-time. Grab your smartphone and scan the QR code preview to test. Your phone should prompt you to join the network.
Tip: Test on a device that isn't already connected to the network for a true test.
Click the Style tab to customize colors and shapes. For WiFi QR codes, keeping it simple often works best, but you can add brand colors if desired.
Tip: High contrast is especially important for WiFi QR codes that might be scanned in various lighting conditions.
Click Download and choose your format. PNG works great for digital display, SVG is perfect for printing (signage, table tents, welcome cards).
Tip: Print at a good size (at least 2cm x 2cm) for reliable scanning.
