Make it your own
Use a hex color like #1a2b3c.
Frames sit outside the quiet zone, so they never cover the code.
Keep at least 4 for reliable scanning.
Large logos may reduce QR scanning reliability.
Your logo is processed locally in your browser. It is never uploaded.
Higher levels let the code scan even when part of it is covered or damaged, but make it denser.

How it works
How to make a WiFi QR code
1Enter your network
Type the network name (SSID) exactly as it appears, including capital letters, plus the password.
2Choose the security type
Most home and office routers use WPA2. Pick WEP only for very old routers, or None for open networks.
3Print and place it
Put it at reception, on the fridge or on table cards. Test it with a phone first.
Features
Built for real networks
Standard WiFi format
Uses the WIFI: format that phone cameras read natively. Special characters like ; , : and " are escaped correctly.
Password never leaves your device
The code is made in your browser. We never receive, save or log your WiFi password.
Hidden networks too
Tick "Hidden network" if your router does not broadcast its name, and phones will still find it.
Use cases
Where WiFi codes save time
Cafés and restaurants
Table cards and counter signs instead of password boards.
Holiday rentals
A framed code in the welcome book or by the router.
Offices and co-working
Guest network codes in meeting rooms and reception.
Home guests
Family and friends connect without asking for the password.
Events and workshops
Put the code on slides or badges for attendees.
Shops and clinics
Offer guest WiFi in waiting areas with one small sticker.
Guide
How the WiFi code works
The code contains a short text in the format phones understand, for example WIFI:T:WPA;S:CafeGuest;P:coffee2024;;. T is the security type, S the network name and P the password. Scanning it shows a "Join network" prompt.
- Anyone who scans can read the password. Use a separate guest network if you do not want to share your main one.
- Changed your password? The old code will stop working. Create and print a new one.
- WPA3 only routers: choose "WPA3 only". Most routers run WPA2 and WPA3 together; for those, WPA2 gives the widest phone support.
WiFi code for a cafe or restaurant
Put the code on table cards and one sign by the counter, about 3 cm wide, with the frame text "Scan to join WiFi". Use a guest network, not the one your till or card reader is on. Laminated cards reflect light, so scan a test card under your own lighting before you print the set.
WiFi code for an Airbnb or holiday rental
Print the code in the welcome book and stick a second copy near the router. Guests arrive tired and with luggage, so a code beats reading a password off a card. If you change the password between bookings, print a new code; the old one stops working. The guide for hosts covers the other codes worth adding.
WiFi code for an office guest network
One code in reception and one in each meeting room lets visitors connect without asking. Keep it for the guest network only, and give the code to whoever manages the router so it gets reprinted when the password rotates.
For the full walkthrough, including what to do when a code scans but does not connect, read the WiFi QR code guide.
Do WiFi QR codes work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. iPhones (iOS 11 and later) and Android phones (Android 10 and later, or with Google Lens) read WiFi codes with the built-in camera and offer to join the network.
Is it safe to put my WiFi password in a QR code?
The password is inside the code, so anyone who scans it can see it. That is the same as writing it on a card. For public places, use a guest network. Creating the code on mqrlink is private: the password stays in your browser.
Which security type should I choose?
Choose WPA2 unless you know otherwise. It covers most routers made in the last 15 years. Choose None only for open networks without a password.
What if my network name has special characters?
That is fine. Characters such as ; , : " and \ are escaped automatically, as the WiFi QR format requires.
Will the code still work if I change the password?
No. The password is part of the code, so you will need to make a new one after changing it.
