Privacy-Friendly WiFi QR Code & Guest Access Card Studio
Sharing complex wireless network passwords verbally or writing them on paper is slow, inconvenient, and exposes plain-text credentials to anyone in sight.
The WiFi QR Code Generator produces standardized wireless connection QR codes (WIFI:T:WPA;S:MySSID;P:MyPassword;;) that allow smartphones to join your network instantly with a simple camera scan.
Designed for both retail and hospitality, the tool offers a minimalist Pure QR Code mode (ideal for shop counters, stickers, and window decals) and a formatted Printable Access Card mode (ideal for hotels, Airbnbs, and meeting rooms) with a privacy toggle to mask or display cleartext passwords.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Why is Pure QR mode better for shops and stores?
- Shops and retail counters often prefer Pure QR mode because it generates a clean, minimalist QR code without writing out the cleartext password. This prevents passersby from memorizing or writing down your network credentials while still allowing rapid camera scanning.
- What is the difference between Password Masked and Password Visible states?
- Password Masked replaces the written password on the card with dots (••••••••), requiring users to scan the QR code to connect and keeping the password private. Password Visible prints the actual characters, which is helpful for guests connecting laptops or e-readers that lack QR scanners.
- Does scanning work on both iPhone and Android without installing apps?
- Yes. Both iOS (built-in Camera app) and Android (Google Lens / native camera) automatically detect WiFi QR codes and display a one-tap 'Join Network' prompt.
- Are my WiFi credentials stored or sent to SHRTX servers?
- No. The generator runs Client-side in your web browser. Your SSID and password are processed in temporary local memory and never transmitted over the internet.
- How can I print the QR code for a table placard?
- Click the 'Print' button to open a clean, formatted print preview suitable for standard photo paper, table tents, or cardstock.
