How do guests use a WiFi QR code?

They open their phone camera or QR scanner, point it at the code, and tap the prompt to join the network — no typing the password.

Which security types are supported?

WPA/WPA2/WPA3, WEP, and open (no password) networks are all supported using the standard WIFI QR format. WPA covers most modern home and office routers.

What is the WiFi QR code format?

It follows the de-facto standard string WIFI:T: ;S: ;P: ;; where T is the security type and S and P are the SSID and password. Special characters like backslash, semicolon, comma, colon and quotes are escaped automatically.

How do I make a QR code for a hidden network?

Tick the hidden box. That adds H:true; to the encoded string so phones know to connect to a network that does not broadcast its name.

Does it work on both iPhone and Android?

Yes. The standard WIFI QR format is recognised by the built-in cameras on modern iPhones and Android phones, which prompt to join the network on scan.

What if my network has no password?

Choose the open (no password) security type. The tool omits the password field from the code, so guests join an open network with one scan.

Is my WiFi password sent anywhere?

No. The QR code is built entirely in your browser and your password is never uploaded to any server.

WiFi QR Code Generator

This generator encodes your network name, security type and password into a QR code that guests scan to join your WiFi instantly — no spelling out a long password or risking a typo. It is perfect for homes, offices, cafes, holiday rentals, and waiting rooms.

How it works

The tool assembles the de-facto standard WiFi QR string and renders it as a code. The format packs the security type, SSID, and password into one line, escaping any special characters so they survive scanning:

WIFI:T:WPA;S:YourNetwork;P:YourPassword;;

For an open network the password is omitted, and ticking “hidden” adds H:true; so phones connect to networks that do not broadcast their name. When someone scans the finished code, their phone reads these fields and offers to join — no password entry needed.

Field	Meaning
T	Security type (WPA / WEP / nopass)
S	Network name (SSID)
P	Password (omitted for open networks)
H	true if the network is hidden

Example

A cafe with the network “GuestCafe”, WPA2 security, and the password “Latte2026” gets the string WIFI:T:WPA;S:GuestCafe;P:Latte2026;;. Printed on a table card, customers scan it and connect in seconds.

Download the code as a crisp PNG or scalable SVG and print it anywhere. Everything is generated locally in your browser, so your password never leaves your device.
