What is the WiFi QR Code Generator?

The WiFi QR Code Generator is a utility that creates a special QR code containing WiFi network credentials (network name, password, and security type). When this QR code is scanned by a smartphone, it allows the device to connect to the WiFi network automatically, without the user needing to manually find the network and type in a password.

History of this Feature

Sharing WiFi passwords with guests has always been a slightly awkward process, often involving writing down long, complex passwords. The WiFi QR code format was developed to solve this problem by encoding all the necessary connection information into a single, scannable code. Our tool was created to make this technology easy for anyone to use, providing a simple form that generates a downloadable QR code perfect for homes, offices, cafes, and guest houses.

Who Commonly Uses This Feature?

This tool is very popular with homeowners who want to provide easy WiFi access for guests, as well as businesses like cafes, restaurants, and hotels that want to offer a seamless connection experience for their customers. It's also used in offices for guest networks and at events to provide quick internet access.

How to Use the WiFi QR Code Generator

This tool lets you share your WiFi network with guests instantly, without them needing to manually type in a long password.

  1. Enter Network Name (SSID): Type in your WiFi network's name. This must be exact, as it is case-sensitive.
  2. Select Security Type: Choose the security protocol your network uses. Most modern routers use "WPA/WPA2." Select "None" if your network has no password.
  3. Enter Password: If your network is password-protected, enter the password. This is also case-sensitive.
  4. Get Your QR Code: A QR code will be generated automatically on the right.
  5. Download and Share: Click "Download QR Code." You can print this code and place it in your home or office. Guests can simply open their phone's camera app, point it at the QR code, and tap the notification to connect to the network instantly.
