Wi-Fi QR Code Generator
A Wi-Fi QR code lets anyone join your network by scanning it — no typing the password. Enter your network name, password and security type below, and Qrogo builds a free, downloadable code right in your browser. It works with WPA/WPA2, WEP and open networks, on both iPhone and Android.

How to make a Wi-Fi QR code
- Enter your network name (SSID) exactly as it appears on devices — it's case-sensitive.
- Type the password and pick the matching security type (WPA/WPA2 for almost all routers).
- Download the PNG for print or the SVG for sharp scaling on signage.
- Test it with your own phone before printing a batch — open the camera and confirm the "Join network" prompt appears.
Where a Wi-Fi QR code actually helps
The codes earn their keep anywhere guests repeatedly ask for the password. In practice the highest-value spots are:
- Cafés and restaurants — a small table tent stops staff reciting the password all day.
- Short-term rentals and hotels — put it in the welcome book or on the fridge; guests connect in seconds.
- Offices and meeting rooms — a guest-network code on the wall keeps visitors off your main network.
- Events and pop-ups — print it once on signage instead of repeating it to every attendee.
WPA/WPA2 vs WEP vs open networks
The security type must match your router or the join will silently fail. WPA/WPA2 covers essentially every router made in the last decade and is the right default. WEP is obsolete and insecure — only use it if you're stuck with very old hardware. None is for genuinely open networks with no password.
Why a Wi-Fi QR code won't scan (and how to fix it)
- Wrong security type — the most common cause. Double-check WPA vs WEP.
- SSID typo or wrong case — "CafeWifi" and "cafewifi" are different networks.
- Too small or low contrast when printed — keep the printed code at least 2 × 2 cm and high-contrast.
- Special characters in the password — Qrogo escapes these automatically, but a manual code may break on

Frequently asked questions
How does a Wi-Fi QR code work?
The code stores your network name (SSID), password and security type in a standard format. When a phone camera reads it, the OS recognises the Wi-Fi format and offers a one-tap prompt to join the network — no password typing.
Is it safe to share a Wi-Fi QR code?
Anyone who can see and scan the code can join the network, so treat it like the written password: display it where you'd already share access (a café wall, a guest room) and keep it off the public internet. Qrogo builds the code in your browser, so the password isn't sent to a server.
Does a Wi-Fi QR code work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. Modern iOS (11+) and Android (10+) cameras recognise Wi-Fi QR codes natively. Older phones may need a dedicated QR scanner app.
Which security type should I choose?
Pick WPA/WPA2 for almost all modern routers. Choose WEP only for old legacy hardware, and 'None' for open networks with no password.
Can I change the password later without a new code?
A standard Wi-Fi QR code is static — it encodes the password directly, so changing the password means generating a new code. If you change credentials often, link a short URL to a hosted instructions page instead.
