WiFi QR Code

Generate a scannable QR code that joins any phone to your WiFi network — no typing the password.

WiFi QR Code

Exactly as it appears in your phone's WiFi list — case sensitive.

Stored in the QR payload only. Never sent to a server.

Tick if your SSID is hidden — phones need this hint to connect.

Result

Type a network name to generate the QR code.

What this tool does

Encodes your WiFi network credentials into a scannable QR code. iPhones (iOS 11+) and Android phones (4.0+) recognise the WIFI: URI from the camera app and offer one-tap join — no typing a 24-character password while balancing a coffee. Print the QR on a café placard, fridge magnet, guest-room welcome card, or office board so visitors can connect in two seconds. Everything happens in your browser; the SSID and password are encoded into the QR locally and never sent anywhere.

How to use it

  1. Enter network details — Type your SSID exactly as it shows in the WiFi list — case matters. Then the password.
  2. Pick encryption — WPA / WPA2 covers most home networks. WPA3 for newer routers. WEP for legacy gear. Open if there's no password.
  3. Toggle hidden if needed — Tick the hidden-network box only if your SSID isn't broadcast. Most home networks don't need this.
  4. Download and print — PNG is friendliest for printers and most apps. SVG scales to any size without blur — better for posters and signs.

The WIFI: URI scheme

We build the standard payload WIFI:T:<auth>;S:<ssid>;P:<password>;H:<true|false>;;, where T is the encryption type (WPA / WPA2 / WPA3 use WPA, WEP uses WEP, open networks use nopass and omit the password). Special characters in SSID or password (\, ;, ,, :, ") are escaped with a backslash. The payload is then encoded into a QR matrix using qrcode-generator, rendered as scalable SVG, and rasterised to PNG via the canvas API for download.

Encryption choices in 2026

WPA / WPA2 — the workhorse of home and small-business routers from roughly 2007 to today. Pick this for almost everything. WPA3 — the newer standard rolled out from 2019 onwards. Phones running Android 12+ and iOS 13+ scan WPA3 QRs natively. WEP — legacy from the early 2000s. Insecure; only useful for older hardware that can't be upgraded. Open — no password. Common in cafés and conference WiFi; the QR still saves people typing the SSID.

Frequently asked questions

Does my WiFi password get uploaded?
No. The SSID and password are encoded into the QR matrix in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server.
Will my iPhone scan the QR?
Yes — iOS 11 and later recognise WIFI: codes from the built-in camera app. Hold the camera over the code and tap the prompt that appears at the top.
Will my Android phone scan it?
Most Android cameras (4.0+) handle it directly. Some older phones may need a dedicated QR scanner — Google Lens works on every modern Android.
Should I pick PNG or SVG?
PNG is best for fast sharing, printing on home printers, and pasting into apps. SVG is vector — scale to any size with zero blur, ideal for posters or signs.
What if my SSID has special characters?
Backslash, semicolon, comma, colon, and quote are escaped automatically per the WIFI: spec. Emoji and unusual characters work as long as your phone's QR scanner is up-to-date.
Can I include the password in the QR safely?
The QR is just a printable string of your password. Anyone who photographs the printed code can recover it. Treat the printed QR like a Post-It with the password on it: fine on your fridge, risky on the front door.
