Free Wi-Fi QR Code Generator

A Wi-Fi QR code lets a phone join your network the moment it's scanned: no typing a password from a sticky note, no asking staff to spell it out. It works with the network name, password, and security type encoded directly into the code.

How to create a Wi-Fi QR Code

1. Enter your network name (SSID) exactly as it appears.
2. Choose the security type: WPA/WPA2 covers most modern routers.
3. Enter the password, unless the network is open.
4. Style and download the code.

Customizing your QR code

Double-check the SSID and password for exact spelling and capitalization. Wi-Fi credentials are case-sensitive, and a single typo will produce a code that fails to connect even though it scans fine.

Choose the security type that actually matches your router: WPA/WPA2 covers the vast majority of routers in use today, WPA3 is for newer routers specifically configured for it, WEP is an older and weaker standard some legacy hardware still uses, and "None" is for fully open networks with no password at all. If your router shows a separate "Guest" network name, that's a distinct SSID with its own password; generate a separate code for it rather than reusing your main network's credentials.

Where to use a Wi-Fi QR Code

• A guest network card at a café or waiting room.
• A framed code on the wall of a short-term rental.
• An office lobby sign for visitor Wi-Fi.
• A conference or event badge insert.

Testing your QR code

Before printing or publishing any QR code, test it yourself: scan it with your phone's camera from a normal viewing distance and confirm it opens the destination you intended. If you're printing it small or on a textured surface, test that exact size and material. A code that scans easily on a screen can struggle once it's shrunk onto a napkin or embossed on packaging.

Static QR codes, explained

ClearQR creates static QR codes. The information you enter (a URL, a phone number, contact details) is encoded directly into the QR code's pattern, so the generated code doesn't depend on ClearQR's servers to keep working.

The destination itself, though, still needs to remain available: if you delete the page a QR code points to, the code will still scan, but visitors will land on a dead link. If you need to change the destination later, create a new QR code; a static code can't be redirected after it's printed.
