How it works
Share Wi-Fi without spelling out the password
A Wi-Fi QR code contains your network name, password and security type in a format phones understand. When a guest scans it with their camera, the phone offers to join the network. Nobody has to read a 20-character password off the back of the router.
It's handy for:
- Guests at home: a small framed code in the hallway or on the fridge.
- Cafés, shops and waiting rooms: a sign at the counter or on each table.
- Offices and holiday rentals: a card in the welcome folder.
Keep it safe
Anyone who scans the code can join your network, and the password can be read from it. A few simple habits keep that under control:
- Use a guest network if your router supports one, so visitors can't reach your own devices.
- Place the code where only the people you'd give the password to can see it.
- After changing the password, replace the code; the old one simply stops working.
If it doesn't connect
- Check the network name: it's case-sensitive and must match exactly, including spaces.
- Check the security type. Most networks are WPA2 or WPA3.
- For a hidden network, make sure "Hidden network" is ticked.
- Very old phones may need a QR scanner app instead of the camera.

Frequently asked questions
How do guests use a Wi-Fi QR code?
They open the camera app on their phone and point it at the code. The phone shows a "Join network" prompt; one tap and they are connected. This works with the built-in camera on iPhones and on most Android phones.
Is it safe to put my Wi-Fi password in a QR code?
The code contains your password in plain text, so treat it like the password itself: anyone who scans it can join and read the password. Put it where you would put the password anyway, and consider a separate guest network for visitors.
Is my password sent to QRCraftr?
No. The QR code is generated in your browser, and the network name and password are never sent to a server or saved.
Which security type should I choose?
Almost all home and office networks use WPA2 or WPA3, so choose WPA/WPA2/WPA3. You can check in your router's settings or on the sticker on the router. WEP is outdated and only found on very old equipment.
What if I change my Wi-Fi password?
Then the old code stops working, because the password is stored inside it. Make a new code with the new password and replace the printed one.
My network is hidden. Will the code work?
Yes. Tick "Hidden network" so phones know to look for a network that doesn't broadcast its name. Make sure the network name is spelled exactly as in your router, including capital letters.
