How a Wi-Fi QR code works
A Wi-Fi QR code encodes your network name (SSID), password, and security type in a standard WIFI: string. Modern iPhone and Android cameras recognize it and offer a one-tap “Join Network.” It works fully offline — nothing is stored on our servers.
Where to use it
- Print it for guests, an Airbnb, or a vacation rental
- Stick it by the register in a café or shop
- Add it to a welcome card or fridge magnet
Frequently asked questions
Is my Wi-Fi password sent anywhere?
No. The QR code is generated entirely in your browser. Your SSID and password never touch our servers.
Will this Wi-Fi QR code expire?
No. Wi-Fi codes are static — the network details are baked into the image, so it works forever as long as your password stays the same.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. The built-in camera app on modern iPhones and Android phones detects Wi-Fi QR codes and prompts to join with one tap.
