WiFi QR Code Generator
Guests scan, their phone joins the network.
The SSID, exactly as it appears. Case matters.
Guests scan, their phone joins the network.
How to use it
- Enter your network name. The SSID is the name the network shows up as on a phone. It is case sensitive.
- Enter the password and pick the security type. WPA2 covers almost every modern router. Choose Open for a network with no password.
- Download the code. PNG for screens, SVG for printing at any size. Both are generated on your device.
When you would use this
A WiFi QR code is a short piece of encoded text telling a phone which network to join and what password to use. It saves reading a long password aloud, and once printed it keeps working with no internet involved, which is why cafes and holiday lets pin one near the door. The format is plain text, so the whole thing can be built locally: your password becomes a pattern of squares on your own machine and nothing about it is sent anywhere. Network names and passwords containing a semicolon, colon, comma, quote or backslash are escaped properly here, which is where most free generators quietly produce a code that will not connect. Change the password later and the old code stops working, so print a new one.
Questions
- Does this work on iPhone?
- Yes. iOS 11 and later join a network straight from the camera app, and Android has done the same since version 10. No scanner app is needed on either.
- Is my password safe?
- The code is built entirely in your browser and never sent anywhere. You can check that yourself: disconnect from the internet and the tool keeps working.
- My network name has a semicolon in it. Will that work?
- Yes. Semicolons, colons, commas, quotes and backslashes are structural in the WiFi code format, so they are escaped here. Most free generators skip that and produce a code that will not connect.
