How to Use

Enter the network name (SSID) exactly as it appears, including capitals and spaces.
Enter the password and choose the security type; WPA covers WPA2 and WPA3.
Tick Hidden network if your router does not broadcast the name.
Style the code if you like, then download it as PNG for printing or SVG for design work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which phones can scan a Wi-Fi QR code?

iPhones running iOS 11 or later and most Android phones from Android 10 on join the network straight from the camera app. Older Android phones may need Google Lens or a scanner app.

Is it safe to put my Wi-Fi password in a QR code?

Anyone who scans or photographs the code can read the password, just as if it were written down. Put it where only guests can see it, or use a separate guest network.

Is my password sent to a server?

No. The QR code is generated entirely in your browser, so the network name and password are never uploaded.

What if my password contains ; , : or quotes?

Those characters have special meaning in the Wi-Fi QR format, so the generator escapes them with a backslash automatically.

Create a Wi-Fi QR Code

Updated September 24, 2026 · By Saman

Reading out a long Wi-Fi password to every guest gets old fast. A Wi-Fi QR code stores the network name, password and security type in a standard format that phones understand: point the camera, tap the notification and you are connected.

This page opens the QR Code Generator with the Wi-Fi network type selected. Because the code is built in your browser, the password is never transmitted anywhere, which is not true of every online QR service.

What is inside the code

A Wi-Fi QR code contains a short text string such as WIFI:T:WPA;S:HomeNet;P:correct horse;;. T is the security type, S the network name, P the password and an optional H:true marks a hidden network. Special characters in the name or password are escaped with a backslash, which the generator does for you.

Choosing the security type

Router setting	Choose
WPA2-Personal, WPA3-Personal or mixed WPA2/WPA3	WPA/WPA2/WPA3
WEP (outdated; consider upgrading)	WEP
No password	Open (no password)

Enterprise networks that ask for a username as well as a password (802.1X) cannot be joined with this simple format.

Printing tips

Print the code at least 2 to 3 cm (about an inch) wide; larger if it will be scanned from a distance.
Keep strong contrast, dark on light, and keep the quiet zone around the code.
Add a short line such as "Scan to join Wi-Fi" and the network name, so people know what it does.
Use the SVG download for sharp results in a design program or at poster size.
Test with at least one iPhone and one Android phone before laminating it.

For cafés, rentals and offices

A guest network with its own password is the tidy option: you can change that password without affecting your own devices, then print a new code. The same generator also makes contact card QR codes for a reception desk or a business card.
