Is it safe to put my WiFi password in a QR code?

The password is stored in the code itself, so anyone who can scan the code can read it. Treat the printed code like the password: display it where only guests you'd give the password to can see it. This generator runs entirely in your browser, so your password is never uploaded anywhere.

Do WiFi QR codes work on both iPhone and Android?

Yes. iPhones (iOS 11 and later) and Android phones (Android 10 and later natively, earlier with a QR app) both join networks from a scanned WiFi code.

What happens if I change my WiFi password?

The code stores the password at the time you created it, so you'll need to generate and print a new code after changing your password.

Your WiFi code appears here. Guests scan it with their camera and join instantly.

PNG for most uses; SVG scales to any print size without blur — ideal for posters and framed signs.

Never spell out your WiFi password again

A WiFi QR code stores your network name and password in a format every modern phone understands. Guests point their camera at it and tap "Join" — no hunting for the router sticker, no reading passwords across the room, no "is that a zero or an O?"

Where people use them

Homes: a small framed code by the door or on the fridge handles every guest forever.
Cafés and restaurants: table tents with a WiFi code reduce the single most-asked question your staff gets.
Airbnbs and rentals: put the code in your welcome binder and check-in instructions — fewer messages from guests on arrival day.
Offices: a guest-network code at reception gets visitors online without IT involvement.

Tips

Add a caption like "Scan to join our WiFi" — a labeled code gets used, a bare one gets ignored.
Print at least 1.5 inches wide for tabletop scanning; use the 2048px or SVG download for wall signs.
For businesses, put your guest network in the code, not your main one.
Test the printed code with one iPhone and one Android before making copies.

WiFi QR code FAQ

How does a WiFi QR code work?

The code stores your network name, password, and security type in a standard format (the same one Android's "share network" feature uses). When scanned, the phone offers to join the network automatically.

Is it safe to put my password in a QR code?

The password is readable by anyone who can scan the code, so display it only where you'd happily hand out the password anyway. On the privacy side: this tool runs entirely in your browser, so your password never leaves your device or touches our servers.

Does it work on iPhone and Android?

Yes — iOS 11+ and Android 10+ support it natively through the camera app; older Androids can use any free QR scanner app.

What if I change my WiFi password?

The old code keeps the old password, so generate and print a fresh one. It takes ten seconds and there's no limit.
