Share your WiFi with a QR code
Typing long passwords on a phone is painful. A WiFi QR code lets guests join your network in one scan — no spelling your password across the room.
What is a WiFi QR code?
It is a normal QR image that encodes your network name (SSID), security type (WPA, WEP, or open), and password in a standard format phones understand. When someone scans it with their camera, iOS and Android can offer to join the network automatically.
The data lives inside the QR itself — it is not a “live” link that we can change after printing. If you change your WiFi password, generate a new QR.
Create one in your browser
- Open kodotools.com/qr-code-for-wifi (or the WiFi tab on our full generator).
- Enter your SSID, password, and security type (most networks use WPA/WPA2/WPA3).
- Download PNG for screens or SVG for sharp print.
With Kodotools, nothing is uploaded: the QR is drawn locally in your browser, which matters when the payload is your WiFi password.
Phones and scanning
- iPhone: Camera app on iOS 11+ usually recognises WiFi QR codes.
- Android: Many devices handle them in the default camera or Google Lens.
- Very old phones may need a dedicated QR app — the QR still works; only the camera software differs.
Practical tips
- Print size: For a poster or wall sticker, use a large QR and high contrast so it scans from a distance.
- Guest networks: If your router supports a guest SSID, put that in the QR instead of your main password.
- Airbnb and cafes: Laminate the print or use a desk stand so the code stays readable.
