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.
WiFi QR Code Generator is a free online tool from QR Cat. Enter your content and get a scannable QR code (or decode one) instantly — everything runs locally in your browser, nothing uploaded or tracked. The codes are static: free forever, never expire, no watermark, no sign-up.

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?
It depends. For a shop or rental open to guests, showing the password helps people who'd rather type it than scan. If the card will be seen by many strangers and you'd rather not expose the password, turn 'Show password' off and keep just the scannable code. Both work — your call.
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.
