WiFi QR Code Generator
Generate a QR code that connects a phone to your WiFi network automatically when scanned, so your guest never has to type the network name or password. It uses the standard WIFI: format, compatible with the native camera app on iOS and Android.
How it works
- Type your network's exact name (SSID), matching uppercase and lowercase letters.
- Choose the security type: WPA/WPA2/WPA3 (the most common), WEP, or an open network with no password.
- If your network has a password, type it in the corresponding field.
- The QR code is generated instantly using the WIFI: format recognized by iOS and Android cameras.
- Download the PNG and print it or share it; when scanned, the phone offers to connect directly.
Use cases
- Sharing your WiFi with guests at home without reading out the password letter by letter.
- Putting up a sign with the WiFi QR code at the reception of a business, café, or lodging.
- Giving visitors or vendors quick access to an office's WiFi network.
- Avoiding typos with long passwords or passwords that include special characters.

Common mistakes
- Typing the network name (SSID) with different uppercase or lowercase letters than how it actually appears.The SSID is case-sensitive. Copy the exact name from your router's settings or from the list of WiFi networks on your phone.
- Selecting 'No password' for a network that actually does have one.If your network requires a password, select WPA/WPA2/WPA3 (today's most common standard) so the password field gets included in the code.
- Sharing your WiFi QR code publicly without considering who will be able to connect.Anyone who scans the code connects to your network. For occasional guests, consider creating a separate guest network on your router.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. Both systems recognize the standard WIFI: format from the native camera app, with no need to install any additional application.
No. The QR code is generated entirely in your browser; the SSID and password never leave your device.
This tool generates the code for visible networks (with SSID broadcast enabled), which is how the vast majority of home routers are configured. It doesn't include a specific option for hidden networks.
The tool automatically escapes the special characters (;, ,, :, \) that have a reserved meaning within the WIFI: format, so the password is interpreted correctly.
Alternatives
Some modern routers generate their own WiFi QR code in their admin app or settings panel. This tool is useful when your router doesn't offer that feature, when you want to print the code in your own design, or when you need to generate it for a network you don't administer directly.
