Wi-Fi QR Code Generator

Guests point their camera at the code and join your network instantly, without asking for the password or typing it wrong. Ideal for homes, cafés, offices, hotels and Airbnbs.

Fill in the form to create your QR code.

Made in your browser — nothing you type is uploaded.

How to make a Wi-Fi QR code

Type your network name (SSID) exactly as it appears on your phone. It is case-sensitive: “Cafe_Guest” and “cafe_guest” are different networks.
Choose the security type. Almost every router made in the last 15 years uses WPA/WPA2/WPA3. Pick None only for open networks without a password.
Enter the password and tick Hidden network if your router does not broadcast its name.
Check the green scan-test message, then download the PNG for printing or the SVG for large signs.

How guests connect

On an iPhone (iOS 11 or newer) guests open the Camera app, point it at the code and tap the “Join network” banner. On Android (Android 10 or newer) the camera or Google Lens shows a “Connect” button; on some Samsung and Xiaomi phones the scanner is inside the camera's “Scan” or “Bixby Vision” mode. Nobody needs to install an app, and the password never has to be read out loud.

Where to put your Wi-Fi QR code

Cafés and restaurants: on table tents, menus and the counter, next to the opening hours.
Hotels, guest houses and Airbnbs: in a frame by the bed or on the welcome card. Guests stop calling reception for the password.
Offices and co-working spaces: at reception and in meeting rooms for the visitor network.
Homes: on the fridge or near the router for friends and family. Handy when your password is long and random.
Events and classrooms: on slides, name badges or handouts so everyone is online in seconds.

Is a Wi-Fi QR code safe?

The code contains your network name and password in plain text, exactly like writing them on a card, so anyone who can see the code can join. Follow three simple rules:

Create a separate guest network on your router and put only that network in public QR codes. Your main network, computers and printers stay private.
Change the guest password every few months and print a new code. Static codes never expire, so an old card keeps working until the password changes.
This generator runs entirely in your browser. Your password is never uploaded, stored or logged by HAYAQR.

The Wi-Fi QR format explained

Wi-Fi codes use a simple text format that phone makers agreed on: WIFI:T:WPA;S:NetworkName;P:Password;;. T is the security type, S the network name, P the password and H:true marks a hidden network. Special characters such as semicolons, commas, colons and quotes are escaped automatically, so passwords like Tea;Time:2026 work without any extra effort.

Printing tips

Print the code at least 3 × 3 cm (about 1.2 inches) for table cards and 8 cm or more for wall posters.
Add a short line of text under it, such as “Scan to join our Wi-Fi”, plus the network name and password for laptops that cannot scan.
Keep the code dark on a light background and laminate cards that sit on tables.

Frequently asked questions

Does the Wi-Fi QR code work on iPhone and Android?

Yes. iPhones with iOS 11 or newer and Android phones with Android 10 or newer join the network straight from the camera. Older Android phones can use Google Lens or any QR scanner app.

Will the code stop working if I change my Wi-Fi password?

Yes. The password is stored inside the code, so after changing it you need to create and print a new QR code. Keep the same network name to make the swap easy.

Is my Wi-Fi password sent to your server?

No. The QR code is generated in your browser and nothing you type is uploaded or saved.

Which security type should I choose?

Choose WPA / WPA2 / WPA3 for almost every modern router. Use WEP only for very old equipment and None for open networks without a password.

Can I connect a laptop with the QR code?

Laptops usually cannot scan QR codes, so print the network name and password in small text under the code as a backup.
