What is a WiFi QR Code?
A WiFi QR code stores your network name (SSID), password, and encryption type in a scannable image. When someone points their phone camera at it, their device joins the network automatically — no typing required.
Unlike sharing a password verbally or on a slip of paper, a QR code works every time, can be reprinted if lost, and can be placed anywhere: tables, walls, welcome cards, or even your website.

WiFi QR Code FAQ
How do I scan a WiFi QR code?
On iPhone, open the Camera app and point it at the code — a banner will appear to join the network. On Android, go to Settings → WiFi and tap the QR icon, or just use the camera app on newer versions.
Is it safe to share my WiFi password in a QR code?
The password is encoded in the QR image itself — it's not stored on any server. Anyone who scans the code can read the password, so treat it like writing your password on a sticky note.
Does the QR code expire?
No. qrli generates static QR codes — the data lives in the image, not on a server. The code works forever as long as the image exists.
What if I change my WiFi password?
You'll need to generate a new QR code with the updated password. That's why it's worth printing it on something easy to replace, like a card in a frame.
What encryption types does a WiFi QR code support?
WiFi QR codes support WPA/WPA2 (the most common type), WEP (older routers), and open networks with no password. If you're unsure, choose WPA2.
Can I use a WiFi QR code for a guest network?
Yes — and this is the ideal use case. Print the QR and place it near the entrance or on tables so guests connect instantly without asking staff. Use a separate guest network so your main network stays private.
Do I need an account to generate a WiFi QR code?
No account needed. qrli generates WiFi QR codes completely free. Create a free account to save your codes; file QRs and scan tracking come with Qrli Pro.
