WiFi QR Code Generator — scan to join, no typing (printable WiFi card)
Turn your WiFi name (SSID) and password into a single QR code. Stick it up in your shop, rental, guest room or hallway and guests just point their camera to connect automatically — no more reading out a long password. QR Cat goes further than a bare code: it lays out a polished, ready-to-print WiFi card — with a title, the network name, the password and a 'Scan to join' prompt — so you pick a theme and download a PNG you can frame or post. Your WiFi password is encoded entirely in your browser and never uploaded. It's a static code: permanent, never expires.

How to use the wifi qr code generator?
- 1Enter the WiFi name (SSID) — it's case-sensitive.
- 2Pick the security type (usually WPA/WPA2) and enter the password; tick 'Hidden network' if it doesn't broadcast.
- 3Give the card a title (e.g. 'Guest WiFi', 'Welcome'), choose whether to show the password, and pick a theme color.
- 4Hit 'Download printable WiFi card' for a ready-to-print PNG, or 'Download QR only' for a vector SVG to lay out yourself.
Why use QR Cat's WiFi QR Code Generator?
- Printable finished card: not just a bare code — a WiFi card with title, network name, password and scan prompt; pick a theme and download a print-ready PNG. Perfect for a cafe, rental or Airbnb guest room.
- Scan to connect: iPhone (iOS 11+) and most Android cameras natively support WiFi codes — no app needed.
- Great for shops, rentals and homes: post one card and stop reciting passwords.
- Password never uploaded: both the code and the card are built locally in your browser, never sent to a server — a password shouldn't be handed to a random website.
- Free forever, never expires: these are static codes — your content lives inside the image itself, not on our servers. Even if this site shut down, your printed codes keep working — unlike the sites that disable your code when a trial ends and hold it for ransom.
- No watermark, no sign-up: download and go. We don't stamp a logo on your code or make you hand over an email first.
Frequently asked questions
What's the 'printable WiFi card' and how is it different from the code?
A bare QR code is just a code — it looks plain on a wall and guests may not know it's WiFi. The WiFi card lays the code into a finished card: your title at the top (e.g. 'Welcome'), the QR with a 'Scan to join WiFi' prompt in the middle, and the network name plus (optional) password below. Pick a theme, download the HD PNG, and print it for a table tent or wall sign — clear and professional.
Should I show the password on the card?
Showing the password helps guests who prefer typing. Hiding that line does not keep it secret: the password can still be read from the QR. Use a guest network and display the card only where you intend to share network access.
Does scanning a WiFi code connect automatically?
Yes. On iPhone (iOS 11+) and most Android phones, point the built-in camera at the WiFi QR code and a 'Join Network' prompt appears — one tap connects, no typing and no extra app.
Is my WiFi password safe?
Yes. The password is only encoded into the QR and card in your browser — never uploaded or logged. Note: the code (and the card, if shown) contains the password in plain form, so don't post it publicly online; it's meant for a physical place you trust.
Which security type should I choose?
Most home and business routers use WPA/WPA2 — pick that. Very old gear may be WEP; a fully open network with no password is 'None'. The wrong choice means it won't connect, so when unsure, choose WPA/WPA2.
If I change my WiFi password, does this code still work?
No. A static WiFi code stores the password as it was, so you'll need to regenerate the code/card after a password change. The upside is zero server dependency and no expiry; the trade-off is redoing it when the password changes — a safer deal for WiFi.
