A WiFi QR code lets guests join your wireless network by scanning — no need to read out or type a long password. When scanned, the phone opens network settings and offers to connect automatically.
When to use a WiFi QR code
- Cafés, restaurants, and hotel lobbies
- Office guest networks and meeting rooms
- Airbnb and vacation rentals
- Events and conference venues
How to create a WiFi QR code in 3 steps
- Open the generator — on QR.com.vc, select WiFi as the QR type.
- Enter your network details — SSID (network name), password, and encryption. Most home routers use WPA/WPA2. Use WEP only if your router requires it.
- Generate and print — download PNG for screens or SVG for print-quality signage. Place the code where guests can scan it easily.
Tips for a scannable WiFi code
- Print at least 2×2 cm (about 1 inch) for reliable scanning
- Use high contrast — dark modules on a light background work best
- Keep a guest network separate from your main business WiFi when possible
- Update the code if you change the WiFi password (generate a new static QR)
Static or dynamic?
WiFi credentials are almost always static — the password is encoded directly in the QR. Dynamic QR codes are for URLs you might change later; they are not used for WiFi join payloads.
