How it works
Make a Wi-Fi QR code in three steps
- 1Enter your network name (SSID), pick the security type your router uses, and type the Wi-Fi password. Tick the box if the network is hidden.
- 2Style the code with colors, size, and error correction while the live preview updates, then test a scan with your own phone.
- 3Sign in free and download the finished Wi-Fi QR code as a PNG or SVG, then print it where guests will look for it.
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. Nobody reads the password off the router sticker again.
WPA/WPA2, WEP, and open networks
Covers the security modes real routers use. Most WPA3-capable home routers ship in mixed WPA2/WPA3 mode, and the WPA/WPA2 setting covers those. Open guest networks need no password at all.
Hidden network support
A hidden SSID never shows up in the Wi-Fi list, so it can't be joined by browsing. The code carries a hidden flag that tells phones to connect anyway.
Password stays on your device
The code is generated entirely in your browser. Your network name and password are never sent to our servers.
PNG and SVG downloads
PNG drops into a welcome booklet or house manual. SVG stays perfectly sharp for framed prints, table tents, and window decals.
Never expires
The credentials live inside the pattern itself, with no redirect service behind it. The code works until you change the Wi-Fi password.
Use cases
What people make with it
Vacation rentals. Frame the code by the door or put it in the house manual. Guests are online before they unpack, and nobody messages you asking for the password.
Cafés and restaurants. A small code on the menu, the counter, or a table tent beats a chalkboard password that gets mistyped all day.
Guest rooms at home. Print a card for the guest room so visitors never have to ask, and you never have to spell the password out loud.
Offices and meeting rooms. Post the guest network code in reception and every conference room so visitors connect while they wait.
Events and weddings. Post the venue Wi-Fi at check-in so everyone gets online without a line at the help desk.
Waiting rooms. Clinics, salons, and shops can offer guest Wi-Fi with a clean printed code instead of a password taped to the wall.
How a phone joins Wi-Fi from a QR code
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.
FAQ
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.
