WiFi QR Code Generator
Encode your network name and password into a scannable QR code. Guests connect with one scan — no password visible, no typing required.
A WiFi QR code replaces the awkward ritual of reading out a password or handing someone your phone to type it in. Print it on a sign, a table card, or a frame — and guests are on your network in under three seconds.
What It Is
What is a WiFi QR code?
A WiFi QR code stores your network credentials (SSID, password, and encryption type) in the standard WPA-encoded format that phones read natively. When scanned with the built-in camera on iPhone or Android, the device prompts the user to join the network — no app, no manual entry. The password is never displayed; it is decoded by the device silently. Qrinly generates the code instantly, entirely in your browser. No data is sent to any server — the credentials never leave your device.
How It Works
Step-by-step.
- 1
Enter your network name (SSID)
Type the exact network name. It is case-sensitive — 'MyOffice' and 'myoffice' are different networks.
- 2
Enter your password and select encryption
Type your WiFi password. Select WPA2 for most modern routers, WPA for older ones, or Open for no-password networks.

Download as PNG or SVG
Use SVG for anything printed at medium or large size. Use PNG for quick prints or digital sharing.

Print and place
No lamination required for temporary use. Laminate for long-term display in places that get wet, like café tables.
Real Use Cases
Concrete problems this solves.
Café or restaurant
Scenario
A café has 20 tables. Staff are constantly asked for the WiFi password. The password is written on a chalkboard that guests squint at from across the room.
Problem
Staff interrupt service to repeat the password. Guests mistype it. The chalkboard looks unprofessional.
Solution
Print one WiFi QR code per table (or one at the counter). Guests scan to connect in three seconds. If the password changes, reprint one card.
Hotel or Airbnb
Scenario
A property host needs guests to access WiFi on arrival, often without staff present. The password is long and complex for security.
Problem
Guests arrive to find a handwritten note with a 20-character password. Errors are common. Support messages follow.
Solution
Frame a WiFi QR code next to the TV or on the welcome card. Guests scan immediately. The host never has to respond to 'what is the WiFi?' messages.
Office or co-working space
Scenario
A co-working space has a main network and a guest network. Visitors arrive for meetings and need WiFi access quickly.
Problem
Receptionists must stop what they are doing to provide credentials. Guests on the wrong network slow down corporate traffic.
Solution
Post a QR code for the guest network at reception. Visitors self-serve in seconds. Main network stays separate and secure.
Events and conferences
Scenario
An event has 300 attendees who all need WiFi. The organiser announces the password from the stage and it echoes badly.
Problem
30% of attendees still cannot connect. Support table is overwhelmed. Half the audience is typing instead of listening.
Solution
Print the WiFi QR code on the badge insert and at every table. Attendees connect before the keynote starts.
Examples
What it looks like in practice.
Standard home or office network (WPA2)
Input
SSID: MyOfficeNetwork | Password: C0nference2024! | Type: WPA2
Output
QR code → scan → phone joins MyOfficeNetwork automatically
The password is encoded but not displayed. The user only sees 'Join MyOfficeNetwork?' on their screen.
Restaurant guest network (simpler password)
Input
SSID: CafeGuest | Password: coffee123 | Type: WPA
Output
QR code printed on table card → scan → connected in 3 seconds
Open network (no password)
Input
SSID: EventWiFi | Password: (none) | Type: Open
Output
QR code → scan → connected instantly, no prompt
Use open networks only in controlled environments. Anyone nearby can join.
Why It Matters
Why typing a password is a worse experience than it sounds.
A 16-character WPA2 password with mixed case, numbers, and symbols has a meaningful chance of being mistyped — especially on a mobile keyboard. Each failed attempt is friction. Each question to staff is an interruption. WiFi QR codes eliminate both.
Without dynamic QR
Guests ask for the password. Staff repeat it. Guests mistype it. Someone holds their phone up and dictates it letter by letter. This happens 40 times a day.
With Qrinly
Print the QR code once. Guests scan. They are connected. Staff never answer the WiFi question again. If the password changes, print one new card.
Features
What is included.
No data sent to servers
WiFi QR codes are generated entirely in your browser. Your network credentials never leave your device. No account required.
Works on every modern phone
iOS 11+ and Android 10+ read WiFi QR codes natively in the built-in camera app. No additional app needed.
Supports WPA, WPA2, and open networks
Select the correct encryption type to match your router. WPA/WPA2 covers the vast majority of home and business networks.
Password hidden from view
The password is encoded inside the QR pattern. Guests who scan it never see the credential text — the device handles it silently.
SVG and PNG export
Download as SVG for large-format printing (signs, frames, banners) or PNG for quick prints and digital use.
Free and instant
No account, no payment, no waiting. Enter your network details and download the QR code in under 30 seconds.
