WiFi QR Code Generator
Let guests join your WiFi with one scan: WPA, WEP, open and hidden networks, special characters escaped correctly, and every code verified by decoding it locally. Credentials never leave your browser.
Enter an international number starting with + so it dials from anywhere.
Every field you add makes the code denser. Denser codes need a larger print; watch the module guidance under the preview.
Scanning opens the point in the phone's map app (geo: link). Get coordinates by right-clicking a spot in any online map.
Style
Below the required 4-module quiet zone. Scanners need that blank border to find the code; this code cannot be marked Verified and should not be printed.
#000000 #ffffff Logo overlay (optional)
Error correction switched to H so the code still scans under the logo.
Print size (for the PDF and guidance)
Fill in the fields to generate a QR code.
Not tested
PNG for screens and documents. SVG for print shops: vector, sharp at any size. PDF prints at exactly the physical width you set. All three include your logo, and everything runs in your browser: your data and logo never leave this page.
The end of spelling out your WiFi password
Cafes, rentals, offices and living rooms all share the same ritual: reciting a password that is deliberately hard to guess, twice, while someone types it wrong. A WiFi QR code ends it. Both major phone platforms have supported scan-to-join for years, the code works offline forever, and the only "infrastructure" is a piece of paper. Print it at 5 cm or larger for tabletop scanning distance, laminate it if it lives near coffee, and use the PDF export for an exact label size.
One practical tip from the field: put the network name in text under the code. When a scan fails because a phone is ancient, the human fallback should not require finding you.
WiFi QR code FAQ
How does a WiFi QR code work?
The code contains your network name, password and encryption type in the standard WIFI: format that both iOS (11+) and Android (10+) cameras understand natively. A guest points their camera at the code and gets a "Join network" prompt, no typing, no spelling out W-p-a-2 passwords across the room. The credentials live in the code itself; nothing depends on any server.
Is it safe to put my WiFi password in a QR code?
The password is exactly as safe as the piece of paper you print it on: anyone who can scan the code can join, the same as anyone who can read a password on a chalkboard. Generate it here and the credentials never leave your browser; this page uploads nothing. For guest access, best practice is a separate guest network so scanners never touch your main LAN.
Do special characters in my password break the code?
Not here. The WIFI: format requires escaping backslashes, semicolons, commas, colons and quotes, and this generator escapes all of them correctly, then verifies the finished code by decoding it. Passwords with $ymb0l$;and:commas encode and scan fine.
Does it work for hidden networks?
Yes, tick "Hidden network". The code then carries the hidden flag so phones know to probe for the SSID instead of waiting to see it broadcast. Note that some older Android versions are unreliable joining hidden networks by QR; if guests report trouble, unhiding the guest network is the pragmatic fix.
What happens when I change my WiFi password?
The printed code keeps offering the old password, because a static code cannot be edited. Print a new one; it takes thirty seconds here and costs nothing. For places that rotate passwords often, frame the print so swapping the paper is easy.
