How does it work?
- 1Type the network name (SSID) exactly as it appears in your Wi-Fi list, including capital letters, spaces and accents.
- 2Enter the password and choose the encryption: WPA/WPA2, WPA3, WEP, or none for an open network. Tick the hidden-network box if your router does not broadcast its name.
- 3Adjust colours, size, margin, module style and error correction, and add a centre logo if you like. The live preview updates as you type.
- 4Download the code as PNG, SVG or PDF, or copy the image to the clipboard, then print it or paste it into a sign.
- 5Scan it with a phone before you put it on display, to confirm that it really joins the network.
What is Wi-Fi QR Code Generator?
A Wi-Fi QR code is an ordinary QR code whose text follows a de facto format that phone cameras understand: WIFI:T:WPA;S:MyNetwork;P:mypassword;; where T is the security type, S the network name (SSID), P the password, and an optional H:true marks a hidden network. When a phone reads it, it offers to join the network, so nobody has to type the password.
Support is wide but not universal. iPhones running iOS 11 or later join from the built-in Camera app, and Android 10 or later can do the same from the camera or Google Lens. Older phones may need a scanner app that knows the format, and most laptops cannot read the code directly. The tool escapes the special characters ; , : " and \ automatically, which is where hand-typed payloads usually break.
The code is static: the password is stored inside the image in readable form, and anyone who can scan it can read it. This generator covers personal networks that use a shared password; it does not create enterprise (802.1X) profiles.
When should you use it?
- In a café, restaurant or hotel, on a table card or in the rooms, so customers connect without asking staff.
- In a holiday rental, on the fridge or in the welcome folder, so every new guest gets online in seconds.
- At home, on a frame near the entrance, for visitors who would otherwise ask you to spell a 20-character password.
- In a meeting room or reception, next to the guest network name, to keep the main office network private.
- At an event, a coworking space or a classroom, on a sign or a slide that shows a temporary guest network.
Privacy
This tool runs in your browser. What you type, paste or open is processed on your device by JavaScript and is not sent to our servers, stored or shared. Your data stays on your device.
The network name and password are turned into the QR image locally in your browser and are never uploaded. Keep in mind that the password sits inside the code itself, so only display the printed code where you would be comfortable sharing the password.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I scan a Wi-Fi QR code with my phone?
On an iPhone, open the Camera app, point it at the code and tap the banner that appears. On Android 10 or later, use the camera or Google Lens and tap the Connect suggestion. If nothing appears, make sure the camera has enough light and the whole code, including its margin, is in the frame.
What happens if I change my Wi-Fi password later?
The old code stops working, because the password is written inside it and a static code cannot be edited. Generate a new one with the new password and replace the printed copies.
Is it safe to put my Wi-Fi password in a QR code?
Anyone who can see the code can read the password, exactly as if it were written on paper. For public places, create a separate guest network, display the code there, and change the password from time to time.
Why does the phone read the code but fail to connect?
Check the encryption type, the exact spelling and capitalisation of the SSID and password, and the hidden-network box. A wrong security type or a hidden network that was not flagged are the two most common causes.
How big should I print a Wi-Fi QR code?
About 3 cm wide is enough for a phone held close, such as on a table card. For a wall sign read from one or two metres, print it at 8 to 10 cm, keep dark modules on a light background and leave the quiet-zone margin untouched.
