How to Create a WiFi QR Code on iPhone

Published January 12, 2026 · QR Toolkit Editorial Team

On iPhone, the fastest way to create a printable WiFi QR code is a browser-based generator — Safari works fine, no app needed. Once generated, iPhone's built-in Camera app can also scan WiFi QR codes to join a network.

Creating a WiFi QR code on iPhone

  1. Open Safari (or any browser) and go to the WiFi QR code generator.
  2. Enter your network name, security type, and password.
  3. Tap Download PNG or Download SVG, or use the Print button.
  4. Save the image to Photos, or share it via Messages, AirDrop, or Mail.

Scanning a WiFi QR code on iPhone

  1. Open the Camera app (no separate scanner app needed since iOS 11).
  2. Point it at the QR code until a notification banner appears.
  3. Tap the banner and confirm "Join" to connect.

Alternative: iPhone-to-iPhone WiFi sharing

If you just need to share your WiFi with someone else's iPhone nearby (both signed into iCloud, in each other's contacts, with Bluetooth and WiFi on), iOS can prompt a one-tap password share without any QR code. That shortcut only works device-to-device, though — a printed or displayed QR code works for anyone, on any phone.

Frequently asked questions

Does iPhone have a built-in WiFi QR code generator?

Not a dedicated one. iOS lets you share WiFi directly to another nearby iPhone via AirDrop-style sharing, but it doesn't generate a printable QR code on its own — use a browser-based generator for that.

Can I scan a WiFi QR code with the iPhone Camera app?

Yes. Open the Camera app, point it at the code, and tap the notification that appears to join the network.
