Is It Safe to Share a WiFi QR Code?
A WiFi QR code encodes the same information as telling someone your password verbally. If you're comfortable sharing your password with guests — and you should be, for a guest network — a QR code is equally safe.
A few best practices worth following:
- Use a separate guest network — most modern routers let you create a guest network with a different password. Share that one via QR code, not your main network password.
- Change the guest password periodically — and generate a new QR code when you do.
- Your password never leaves your browser — the generator runs entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to our servers or stored anywhere.
💡 Privacy note: The WiFi QR code generator runs 100% in your browser. Your network name and password are never transmitted to any server — they stay on your device.
Does It Work on iPhone?
Yes. Since iOS 11, the iPhone Camera app recognizes WiFi QR codes and shows a banner at the top of the screen: "Join network [SSID]?" — tap to connect instantly. No app needed, no settings to change.
Android has supported WiFi QR codes since Android 10 via the Camera app and the built-in WiFi settings screen. Older Android versions may need a QR scanner app.
⚠️ If you change your WiFi password, the old QR code will no longer work. Generate a new one with the updated password and replace the printed version.
Tips for Printing Your WiFi QR Code
- Minimum size: 3×3cm — smaller than this and phones may struggle to scan reliably
- Use SVG for print — it scales to any size without pixelation
- High contrast — black on white scans fastest. Colored QR codes work but test first
- Laminate if possible — protects the code from moisture and scratches in public areas
- Add a label — something like "📶 Free WiFi — Scan to Connect" above the QR code makes it obvious for guests
✅ Pro tip: After generating, click Validate to confirm your QR code is scannable. Then test with your own phone — forget the network first, then scan the QR code to reconnect.
