How to Make a Free WiFi QR Code
To make a WiFi QR code, enter the network name (SSID), password and security type (usually WPA/WPA2) in QR Gratis and download the image. Guests scan it with their phone camera and join straight away. The built-in camera on iPhone (iOS 11 and later) and most Android phones (Android 10 and later) supports this without an extra app.
Steps
- Choose WiFi. Open qrgratis.my.id/en/ and pick the "WiFi" content type.
- Enter the network details. Type the network name (SSID) exactly as phones show it, including capital letters, then the password.
- Pick the security type. WPA/WPA2/WPA3 for almost every modern router, WEP for very old ones, or "No password" for an open network.
- Style it and download. Choose colours or shapes, check that the scan badge says "Scans cleanly", then download PNG or SVG.
- Put it where people can reach it. Print it and place it on the counter, in the guest room or on the waiting-room wall.
What is stored in a WiFi QR code?
A standard text string such as WIFI:T:WPA;S:Cafe Guest;P:secret123;;. Special characters in the name or password (; , : " \) must be escaped; QR Gratis does that for you.
Is it safe?
Anyone who scans the code gets the WiFi password, exactly as if you wrote it on paper. For a business, use a guest network separate from your till or office network. In QR Gratis the password is only processed in your browser and never sent to any server.
Frequently asked questions
Do WiFi QR codes need a special app?
No. The built-in camera on iPhone and most modern Android phones reads WiFi codes and offers to join the network.
If I change the WiFi password, do I need a new QR code?
Yes. The password is stored inside the code, so the old code stops connecting once the password changes.
Does it work for hidden networks?
Yes. Turn on "Hidden network" so phones look for an SSID that is not broadcast.
