WPA2 network, joined in one scan
What a WiFi QR code does
A WiFi QR code holds your network name, password and security type. When someone scans it, the phone offers to join that network. Nobody has to read the password off a sticker or ask for it twice.
The details are written into the code itself. That is why a WiFi code works even when the phone has no internet yet, and why it never needs our servers to open.
Where people put them
Hotels and rentals
Put it in the welcome folder or on the fridge so guests are online before they unpack.
Offices and waiting rooms
Visitors join the guest network without seeing the password on a whiteboard.
At home
Frame one in the hallway. Friends and family stop asking for the router password.
Events and pop-ups
Print it on the badge or a counter sign so the crowd can get online quickly.
How to make a WiFi QR code
- 1
Enter your network
Type the network name exactly as it appears, the password and the security type (WPA2 for most routers).
- 2
Style it
Pick colors, a dot shape and a frame that says something like "Scan for WiFi".
- 3
Download and print
Choose PNG for a screen or PDF and SVG for print, then test it with two phones before you put it up.

Tips for a code that joins every time
More in the printing guide.
Copy the name exactly
Network names are case sensitive. "Harbor-Guest" and "harbor guest" are two different networks to a phone.
Use a guest network
Anyone who scans can see the password in their phone settings. A separate guest network keeps your main one private.
Print it at least 2.5 cm wide
About one inch works on a table. On a wall people read from a meter away, so go to 8 cm or more.
Keep it dark on light
A dark code on a white or pale background scans fastest. Avoid light dots on a dark card.
Make a new code after a password change
The password lives inside the code, so a new password means printing a new code.
A WiFi code is static, and that is a good thing
Most codes we make are dynamic: they point to a short link you can change later. A WiFi code is different. The phone reads the network details straight from the printed dots, so there is nothing to redirect and nothing to track.
That also means your WiFi code keeps working even if your plan ends one day. If you want scan counts or a page you can edit, make a dynamic code instead and link it to a page with your network details.
One plan, every feature
Dynamic codes, scan stats, your logo and frames, hosted pages and every file format are in every plan. Plans renew until you cancel.

Questions
Still stuck?
Read the help center or email [email protected].
Do iPhones and Android phones read WiFi QR codes?
Yes. The camera app on iPhone (iOS 11 and later) and on most Android phones (Android 10 and later) reads them without an extra app. The phone shows a "Join network" prompt.
Can people see my WiFi password?
Someone who joins through the code can find the password in their phone settings, the same as if you told them. Use a guest network if that matters to you.
I changed my WiFi password. Do I need a new code?
Yes. The password is written into the code, so the old code stops connecting. Make a new one with the new password and print it again.
Does it work with a hidden network?
Yes. Tick "Hidden network" when you create the code and phones will look for it even though it does not broadcast its name.
Do I need a plan to download a WiFi code?
Yes. Downloading any code needs a plan, starting with the 7-day trial for $1.00. Once printed, a WiFi code keeps working even if you cancel later, because it never goes through our servers.
