How to make a Wi‑Fi QR code

A Wi‑Fi QR code stores the network name, security type, and password in a standard WIFI: payload. Guests can join without typing the password.

What to enter

Use the exact SSID, choose WPA, WEP, or open, and add the password if the network is protected. Hidden networks need the hidden-network option so phones still try the SSID.

Where these codes work well

Cafés, offices, short-term rentals, and event desks. Print at a size people can scan from a standing distance, and keep contrast high.

Privacy

Anyone who can scan the print can join the network. Treat the poster like a written password. Static Wi‑Fi codes do not need an account.

FAQ

Will a Wi‑Fi QR code work on iPhone and Android?
Modern iOS and Android cameras can read WIFI: payloads. The guest still needs to confirm the join prompt on the device.
Should a Wi‑Fi code be dynamic?
Usually no. If the password will change, you would reprint anyway. Dynamic QR is for destinations you want to edit without reprinting.
