How to create a WiFi QR Code

Raise your hands if you have been there 🙌

You invited a few friends over for a fun Friday night. As they settle in, they ask you for your WiFi password. You jump to the arduous task of spelling out the lengthy, strong password you had set, but one friend keeps making a mistake with the caps or the alphanumerics in the password.

Worse if you forget the WiFi password (It happened to me many times)!

Manually entering passwords is time-consuming and prone to errors.

But things changed after I started using Uniqode’s QR Code generator to generate WiFi QR Codes.

WiFi QR Codes ensure security by encoding WiFi credentials in a scannable format. It reduces unauthorized access to WiFi, simplifying the process for guests and customers to access the WiFi.

Let me simplify WiFi QR Code generation for you in three simple steps.

3 Simple Steps to Create a WiFi QR Code

I have tested 10+ QR Code generators to do this, and so far, this is the easiest method,

Step 1

Login to Uniqode and start your free trial. You will be filling in details like your email address and full name. Best part? You don’t have to submit your credit card details upfront.

Step 2

Once you log in, you are directed to the QR Code generation page, where you see options to create dynamic or static QR Codes. From the static QR Code list, choose WiFi.

Step 3

When you select WiFi, you land on a page asking for your WiFi details.

  • Enter your WiFi SSID, and choose encryption mode and password.
  • Click Next.
  • This will open the customization page.
  • Click on Next, and your WiFi QR Code is generated.

Test the QR Code and download it in any of the five available formats: PNG, JPG, SVG, PDF, and EPS.

And you are done!

If you are running a business and want to have a WiFi QR Code for ease of access for your employees, then you can do that too with Uniqode, You can even customize your business WiFi QR Code to reinforce your branding identity and stand out for your customers.

Here’s how you can do it:

  • You can also create your template using the editable default template.
  • You can modify the eye of the QR Code by selecting the eye shape frame and changing its color.
