Wi-Fi QR Code

What a Wi-Fi QR Code is and how it works

A Wi-Fi QR Code is a code with the network name, the password and the encryption type written inside it. The phone reads them with its camera and connects by itself. Your guest has no password to copy off a scrap of paper, and you have none to read out loud to every one of them.

WI-FI Join the network “CornerCafe_Guest”? Join Connected no password typed
How a guest connects
1

They point a phone camera at the code — no app needed.

2

An offer to join your network appears on the screen.

3

They press the button — and the phone is on the network; the password they never even see.

What you need to make the code
The network nameThe one that shows up in the Wi-Fi list on a phone.
The passwordExactly as it is, capital and small letters and all.
The encryption typeAlmost always WPA/WPA2 — and that is what stands there by default.
The “Hidden network” tickNeeded if your network does not show up in the general list.
A code like this is always static
It works without the internetThe name and the password live in the pattern itself, not on our server.
Nothing is kept by usNo account needed: the code is made and downloaded on the spot.
Change the password and you need a new codeThe old one still holds the old password: it is not broken, it is simply honest.
Comparison

What is the difference between a static and a dynamic QR Code?

The same pattern on paper — different options once it is printed.

Static QR URL Analytics
  • A static code is tied to its link for good, and that link cannot be changed.
  • Analytics are not available for codes like this either.
Dynamic QR URL 1 URL 2 PDF Menu Analytics
  • The link or the file the code leads to can be changed at any moment.
  • Analytics show the number of scans, the countries and the devices.
  • You can set a password, an expiry date and a limit on how many people it lets in.

Styling

A QR Code in your brand colours

Add a logo, your brand colours and the shape of the elements — and the QR Code becomes part of your design on packaging, in a menu, on a business card or in a shop window.

What you can set in the editor above
  • Logo — upload your own file.
  • Colours — set the code, the background or a gradient.
  • Shape and eyes — choose the shape of the elements.
  • Frame — add a caption and set the style.
  • Preset — save the styling for your next QR Codes.
Where to use it

Where a Wi-Fi QR Code earns its place

Anywhere the network is handed out for a while and to a stream of people: the guest connects on their own, and nobody has to spell a password across the room.

A café and a restaurant

A sign on the table or a sticker by the till. The guest sits down, points a camera — and is online without catching a waiter’s eye. On that same sign there is room for a menu QR Code.

WI-FI no password

A hotel and a holiday flat

A card in the room and one at the desk. A guest checks in late, asks nobody anything and is online straight away — and you are not copying the password onto a scrap of paper for each arrival.

A coworking space and an office

At reception and in the meeting room — the code for the guest network. Visitors and contractors sit on that one, while the working network keeps its own password.

A salon and a barbershop

A client waits their turn with a phone in their hand. A code by the mirror or on the reception desk settles the question without a word.

A house you let to guests

A magnet on the fridge or a frame in the hall, instead of a sixteen-character password that has to be hunted down in an old chat every time.

Before you print

A short check while the sign is still on hold

Read the password letter by letter

Capitals and small letters matter, and a stray space at the end shows itself only when the connection has already refused to go through.

Connect from somebody else’s phone

Yours already remembers the network and will join it even from a wrong code — it will show you no error at all.

Caption the sign

“Guest Wi-Fi” and the name of the network: a person should know what is about to happen before they raise the camera.

Look at it on paper, not on a screen

Paper glares and prints less crisply than a glowing monitor. Scan it from the distance your guests will be scanning it from.

Questions and answers

Common questions about Wi-Fi QR Codes

The short version of what people ask most: the app on the guest’s phone, a changed password, hidden networks, encryption and safety.

No answer here? Write to us
How do I make a QR Code for Wi-Fi?
Type the network name and the password into the generator above and leave the encryption type as it is — almost always that is WPA/WPA2. The finished code downloads on the spot: neither an account nor the internet is needed for it.
Does my guest need an app to connect?
No. Modern phones read a code like this with the ordinary camera: the guest points it at the sign, an offer to join appears, they press the button — and that is that.
What happens if I change the Wi-Fi password?
The code stops connecting: the old password is still inside it. You make a new code and print it. That is not a fault but the other side of the convenience — it is precisely because the details lie in the code itself that it works without the internet and without us.
Can I change the network in a code that is already printed?
No: the name and the password are written into the pattern rather than kept by us. If the password has to change often, set up a separate guest network with a password that stays — then the sign never has to be printed again.
Is it safe to hand out Wi-Fi through a QR Code?
Safer than a password in marker pen on a board: a code makes no typing mistakes and does not settle in other people’s notebooks. But the password inside it is open — whoever scanned the sign is on the network. That is why guests are given a guest network of their own, and the working one keeps its own password.
When should I tick “Hidden network”?
Only if your network is invisible in the general list and its name is normally typed by hand. If the network is in the list, better to leave the tick alone: the phone will spend longer looking for it.
Which encryption type should I choose?
Almost always WPA/WPA2 — it stands there by default and suits the overwhelming majority of routers. WEP is taken only for really old equipment, and “No password” for an open network that has no password at all.
Do I need an account to make the code?
No. A Wi-Fi code is made and downloaded in one go. An account comes in handy later, once there are a lot of codes and you want them in one place, to come back to the styling.
Can I see how many people connected through the code?
No, and no service will show you that: the phone connects to your router directly, past the internet and past us. How many devices are on the network is a question for the router’s own settings. Counting scans is something dynamic codes can do — a menu QR Code on the same sign, for one.
Does a code like this work on iPhone and on Android?
Yes, on both the connection starts straight from the camera. A really old phone may need a separate scanner app, but guests carrying those are almost gone.
Which file should I take to print the sign?
PNG, SVG and PDF all download. For a print shop and for anything large take SVG: it stays crisp on a small sticker and on a full-height sign by the door alike.
Can I put my own logo on the code?
Yes, in the styling above this text: colours, the shape of the dots and a logo in the middle. Once it is styled, do scan the finished code — the logo must not cover too much of the pattern.

Make a QR Code for your own Wi-Fi

Type the network name and the password into the generator above, style the code in the colours of the place and download it for print — it’s free, no sign-up.
