What you get
Everything included, free
Join with one scan
Phones read the network name, password, and security type straight from the code and offer to connect.
WPA/WPA2, WEP, and open networks
Covers the security modes real routers use.
Hidden network support
A hidden SSID never shows up in the Wi-Fi list, so it can't be joined by browsing.
Password stays on your device
The code is generated entirely in your browser.
PNG and SVG downloads
PNG drops into a welcome booklet or house manual.
Never expires
The credentials live inside the pattern itself, with no redirect service behind it.

How a phone joins Wi-Fi from a QR code
Read more
The code encodes your network in a small standard format that spells out the network name (SSID), the password, the security type, and whether the SSID is hidden. When the camera recognizes it, the operating system takes over and offers to join the network with those exact credentials — the same flow as when a friend shares Wi-Fi from their settings screen.
Because the phone receives the credentials directly, there is no captive portal to build and nothing for guests to install. Recent iPhones and Android phones handle the whole thing from the built-in camera app, which is what makes a printed code practical for a rental, a café, or a guest room.
Printing Wi-Fi codes for guests, rentals, and cafés

Placement decides whether the code gets used: next to the door in a rental, on the table tent in a café, at eye level in a waiting room. Keep the white border (the quiet zone) intact when you frame or crop it, and stick with a dark pattern on a light background, which scans most reliably across phones and lighting.
Codes in public spots collect fingerprints and scuffs, so laminate anything guests will touch and choose Quartile or High error correction for extra resilience; the highest level keeps a code readable with up to 30% of it damaged. When the password rotates, regenerate and reprint — a static code is a snapshot of your credentials, which is exactly why it works forever without depending on anyone's servers.
Frequently asked questions
How do guests join my Wi-Fi from the QR code?
They point their phone's camera at the code. The phone reads the network name, password, and security type from the pattern and shows a prompt to join the network. One tap connects them, with nothing typed. Recent iPhones and Android phones do this from the built-in camera app.
Which security types are supported?
WPA/WPA2 for password-protected networks, WEP for legacy hardware, and open networks with no password. If your router runs mixed WPA2/WPA3 mode, which is how most WPA3-capable home routers ship, choose WPA/WPA2.
Does it work with hidden networks?
Yes. Tick the hidden network box and the code carries a flag telling phones the SSID isn't broadcast, so they connect directly instead of waiting for it to appear in a scan.
What happens if I change my Wi-Fi password?
The old code stops working, because the password is encoded in the pattern itself. Generate a fresh code with the new password and swap the print. That static design is also why the code never expires and never depends on our servers.
Can you see my Wi-Fi password?
No. The code is generated entirely in your browser, and your network name and password never leave your device. There is no server involved that could store them.
What size should I print a Wi-Fi code?
Wi-Fi payloads are short, so the code stays clean even at small sizes. Business-card size works on a table. Go bigger for a framed print guests scan from a few steps away, and run a test scan from the real distance before committing to a print run.
Is anything watermarked or paid?
No watermark, no paid tier, no usage caps. Sign in with a free Bravely account, claim free lifetime access once, and download as many Wi-Fi codes as you need.
