Frequently Asked Questions
How do I create a WiFi QR code with a password?+
Enter the network SSID, select the router's security type, and type the password. The QR code updates automatically and can be downloaded or printed after validation passes.
Can a phone connect to WiFi by scanning this QR code?+
Many current Android and iPhone camera apps recognize the standard WiFi QR format and offer to join the network. Support varies, so test the final code on the devices your visitors are likely to use.
Does a WiFi QR code reveal the password?+
Yes. The password is encoded inside the QR image and can be recovered by anyone who scans or decodes it. Use a restricted guest network for public or semi-public cards.
Which security type should I choose for WPA2 or WPA3?+
Choose the matching WPA-family option in the interface. The generated payload uses the widely compatible WPA marker because common WiFi QR readers do not consistently distinguish WPA, WPA2, and WPA3 labels.
Can I make a QR code for an open WiFi network?+
Yes. Choose Open / no password. The generated payload will identify the network as having no password.
What does the hidden network option do?+
It adds the hidden-network flag to the WiFi payload. Enable it only when the router is configured not to broadcast its SSID.
Which error correction level should I use?+
Medium works for a clean, unmodified code. Use high error correction when adding a center icon, printing a small card, or expecting minor wear, while still testing the result.
Why will my WiFi QR code not scan?+
Check color contrast, printed size, quiet space around the code, SSID spelling, password, and security type. Also test without a center icon and confirm that the network is active and in range.
Can I download the WiFi QR code as SVG or PDF?+
Yes. Download an SVG for scalable artwork, or use Print / Save PDF to open a clean card and select Save as PDF in the browser print dialog.
Where are saved WiFi networks stored?+
Saved profiles are stored in localStorage in the current browser. They are not synchronized to an account and can be removed from the saved-networks panel.
Is the share link private?+
It does not require server storage, but it places the password in the URL. URLs may be recorded in browser history, messages, logs, or analytics, so do not use this option for sensitive credentials.
Are my network name and password uploaded?+
No. QR rendering and exports run locally in your browser. Downloaded QR files and optional share links still contain the credentials, so handle them securely.
About this tool
Free WiFi QR Code Generator with Password
Create a WiFi QR Code with Password
Use this free WiFi QR code generator with password support to make a scannable network card for a home, office, cafe, event, hotel, or Airbnb. Enter the network name, password, security type, and hidden-network setting. The preview updates in your browser, and compatible phones can scan the finished QR code to fill in the WiFi details without typing a long password.
How a WiFi Password QR Code Works
A WiFi password QR code stores network details in the widely supported WIFI text format. It can include the SSID, security method, password, and whether the network is hidden. Many Android and iPhone camera apps recognize that format and offer to join the network. Support still varies by device, operating-system version, and network configuration, so test the code with a real phone before printing or distributing it.
Choose WPA, WEP, or an Open Network
Select the security setting used by the router. WPA, WPA2, and WPA3 networks are encoded with the broadly compatible WPA label. Older WEP networks use a separate value, while an open network does not include a password. Security type is not a cosmetic option: an incorrect selection can stop a phone from connecting even when the SSID and password are correct.
Create a Guest WiFi QR Code
A guest WiFi QR code is useful when visitors need access without manually copying credentials. The printable card can show a custom instruction, network name, and optionally the password. Hiding the printed password does not remove it from the QR code itself; anyone who can scan or decode the QR can recover the embedded credentials. Use a separate guest network with limited access whenever possible.
WiFi QR Codes for Cafes, Offices, Events, and Airbnb Stays
Choose a practical template for a home, business or cafe, guest room, or event. Templates change the card label and visual treatment while preserving the standard WiFi payload. A cafe can place a framed code near the counter, an office can prepare cards for meeting rooms, and a host can print an Airbnb WiFi card for guests. For public displays, rotate the guest password when access should no longer remain valid.
Customize Size, Colors, Shape, and Error Correction
Set the output size for a small label, regular card, or larger sign. Choose square or rounded modules and select foreground and background colors with enough contrast for reliable scanning. Error correction controls how much damage or visual obstruction a QR code may tolerate. A higher level creates a denser code but is recommended when adding a center icon or printing in a demanding environment.
Download PNG, SVG, or a Print-Ready Card
Download PNG for everyday sharing, documents, and quick printing. SVG remains sharp when a designer scales the code for signage. The Print / Save PDF action opens a focused card that can be printed or saved as PDF through the browser. You can also copy the QR image directly when the browser supports image clipboard access.
Save and Batch-Manage Multiple Networks
Save several network profiles locally and switch between them without retyping each SSID. This is useful for guest rooms, office floors, event zones, or properties with separate networks. Saved profiles remain in this browser only. The batch download action creates a PNG for each saved network, while editable labels help keep similar entries organized.
Shareable Links and Credential Privacy
The optional share link puts the current settings into the URL so another browser can recreate the QR code without server storage. That convenience has a security tradeoff: the password becomes part of the link and may appear in browser history, messaging previews, analytics, or logs. Only create a credential link when you understand that exposure, and never use it for a sensitive private network.
Private Browser-Based Generation
QR rendering, saved profiles, image creation, and exports happen locally in the active browser. WebToolsEdge does not need to receive the SSID or password to generate the code. The QR image itself still contains the credentials by design, so treat the downloaded file like the password it represents.
Test Before You Display the Code
Scan the finished result with at least one phone while standing near the network. Confirm the detected SSID, security type, and connection behavior. A correct QR code cannot fix a disabled network, captive portal, weak signal, device incompatibility, router access rule, or mistyped password. Recreate and replace printed cards whenever network credentials change.
Need a QR code for a website, message, email, or contact card instead? Use the general QR Code Generator. For a stronger guest-network passphrase, create one locally with the Random Password Sentence Generator, then return here to make the scannable card.
