Generate a WiFi QR code so anyone can join your wireless network by scanning it with their phone camera, no spelling out a long password. Enter your network name, password, and security type, and a scannable QR code appears instantly. Everything runs in your browser, so your WiFi password never leaves your device.

What is a WiFi QR code?

A WiFi QR code stores your network name, password, and security type in a single scannable square. When a guest points their phone camera at it, the device offers to connect to the network automatically, filling in the password for them. It uses the standard WIFI: payload format that both iOS and Android recognise natively, so no special app is needed to scan it.

How to make a WiFi QR code

Fill in your network details and the QR code updates live. Print it, share it, or save it as a PNG.

  1. Type your network name (SSID) exactly as it appears on your devices.
  2. Choose the security type (WPA/WPA2/WPA3 for most networks, WEP for older ones, or None for an open network).
  3. Enter the WiFi password, and tick hidden network if your SSID is not broadcast.
  4. Scan the generated code to test it, then download the PNG to print or share.

Is generating a WiFi QR code safe?

Yes. The QR code is built entirely in your browser, so your network name and password are never uploaded to any server or stored anywhere. Keep in mind that anyone who can scan the printed code can join the network, exactly like reading the password off a sticky note, so display it only where you are happy for people to connect.

Frequently asked questions

How do guests scan the WiFi QR code?

On most modern phones they just open the camera app and point it at the code. A prompt appears asking whether to join the network, and tapping it connects without typing the password. Some older phones need a dedicated QR scanner app.

Which security type should I pick?

Choose WPA/WPA2/WPA3 for almost all home and office networks, since that is the standard for modern routers. Pick WEP only for very old equipment, and None for a truly open network with no password.

Does it work if my password has special characters?

Yes. Characters like backslash, semicolon, comma, colon, and quotation marks are automatically escaped in the QR data so the code scans correctly, even with complex passwords.

Is my WiFi password sent anywhere?

No. The QR code is generated entirely on your device in the browser, so your network name and password are never transmitted to or stored on any server.
