About WiFi QR Code generator

Creates a QR code that phones can scan to join a Wi-Fi network without typing the password. It encodes the SSID, encryption type (WPA/WPA2/WPA3, WEP or none), password and hidden-network flag in the standard WIFI: format, escaping special characters such as ; , : and quotes. The code is generated in your browser, so the network password is not sent anywhere, and it can be downloaded as PNG or SVG for printing.

Common uses

  • Print a Wi-Fi sign for guests at home, an office or a cafe
  • Share a long or complex password without reading it out
  • Give access to a guest network at events
  • Connect devices to a hidden network quickly

FAQ

How do I scan a Wi-Fi QR code?
On current iPhones and most Android phones, open the camera app and point it at the code, then tap the prompt to join the network.
What is the Wi-Fi QR code format?
The common format is WIFI:T:<WPA|WEP|nopass>;S:<SSID>;P:<password>;H:<true>;; where special characters (backslash, semicolon, comma, colon, double quote) are escaped with a backslash.
Does WPA3 work with the WPA setting?
The WPA type is used for WPA, WPA2 and usually WPA3-Personal networks. Some older phones may not join WPA3-only networks from a QR code.
What happens if I change my Wi-Fi password?
The password is stored in the QR code itself, so you need to generate and print a new code after changing it.
