How to make a Wi-Fi QR code
A Wi-Fi QR code stores your network name and password so a guest can scan it and connect instantly — no typing, and no reading a long password out loud. It's perfect to print for a guest room, café, or office.
Create the code
- Open Scan QR Code Master and choose Create, then the Wi-Fi type.
- Enter your network name (SSID) exactly as it appears, including capitals.
- Enter the password and pick the security type (usually WPA/WPA2).
- Generate the code and print or display it where guests can reach it.
How guests connect
On both iPhone and Android, a guest points their camera at the code and taps the prompt to join the network — the phone fills in the password automatically. No app is required to connect.
FAQ
- Is a Wi-Fi QR code safe to share?
- It's as safe as sharing the password itself — anyone who scans the code can join that network, so only display it where you're comfortable letting people connect. For sensitive networks, consider a separate guest network.
- Do guests need an app to scan a Wi-Fi QR code?
- No. Modern iPhone and Android cameras recognize Wi-Fi QR codes natively and offer to join the network. You only need an app to create the code.
