Free to use, including commercially. No watermark, no sign-up.

This code is static. Here is what that means.

Everything on this page is encoded directly into the pattern, so the code works forever and needs no account. The trade-off is that it cannot change and cannot be counted.

Static code (this tool)

  • Free forever, no account needed
  • Works offline, never expires
  • Destination is fixed once printed
  • No way to count scans

Dynamic code (Qrelux)

  • Change the destination after printing
  • See when, where and how often it is scanned
  • Fix a typo without a reprint
  • Compare which poster or flyer actually works

How to make a wi-fi network QR code

  1. 1

    Enter the network name exactly

    The SSID is case-sensitive and must match your router precisely, including any spaces. 'Cafe Guest' and 'cafe guest' are different networks.

  2. 2

    Add the password and security type

    Almost every modern router is WPA. Choose 'None' only if the network genuinely has no password.

  3. 3

    Test before you print

    Forget the network on your phone first, then scan. Otherwise your phone rejoins from memory and the code looks like it worked when it did not.

  4. 4

    Download and display it

    Print SVG for table tents and window decals so the pattern stays sharp.

What people use these for

Cafes and restaurants

A table-tent code stops staff reciting the password all day and keeps the counter queue moving.

Hotels and short lets

Put the code in the welcome pack so guests get online before they have unpacked.

Offices and co-working

Give visitors guest access without anyone reading a 20-character key aloud.

Wi-Fi Network QR codes: common questions

Does the WiFi QR code work on iPhone and Android?

Yes. Both read WiFi codes with the built-in camera app — iOS since version 11 and Android since 10. Older Androids may need a scanner app.

Is my WiFi password safe in a QR code?

The password is encoded in the pattern, so anyone who can photograph the code can extract it. Treat a printed WiFi code the way you would treat the password written on a card — fine for a guest network, not for your main one. Your password is never sent to us; the code is built entirely inside your browser.

Why does my WiFi code not connect?

Nearly always the SSID does not match exactly — check capitals, spaces, and trailing characters. Also confirm the security type: picking WPA for an open network, or the reverse, produces a code that scans but fails to join.

Does it work with hidden networks?

Yes, tick the hidden box. That flag tells the phone to look for a network that does not broadcast its name, and connections fail without it.
