How do I create a QR code for my WiFi for free?

Enter your WiFi network name (SSID), password, and security type, then click generate. Print the code — guests scan it with their phone camera to join instantly.

How does a WiFi QR code work?

It encodes your network details in the standard WIFI:T:WPA;S:network;P:password;; format. When a phone camera scans it, the phone reads the credentials and offers to join the network, no typing required.

Does it work on iPhone and Android?

Yes. iPhones (iOS 11 and later) join directly from the Camera app. Most Android phones do the same from the camera or the WiFi settings screen.

Is sharing my WiFi password in a QR code safe?

Anyone who scans the code can read the password, so only display it where guests already have physical access, like a cafe counter or a guest room. For better control, set up a separate guest network.

What if my network name has special characters?

This tool escapes special characters (like semicolons and backslashes) exactly as the WiFi QR standard requires, so unusual SSIDs and passwords encode correctly.

Does it support hidden networks?

Yes. Tick the hidden-network option and the QR code includes the H:true flag, telling the phone the SSID is not broadcast so it connects anyway.

// WIFI QR CODE GENERATOR · ABOUT THIS TOOL

About the WiFi QR Code Generator

A WiFi QR code packs the SSID, security type, and password into the format phone cameras read natively, so guests join with one scan. No more reading out 20-character passwords.

The payload is built exactly to spec, supporting WPA/WPA2/WPA3, WEP, open, and hidden networks, and everything runs in your browser so your password is never uploaded.

Where it helps most

Wherever guests come and go.

Cafes and restaurants

Cafes and restaurants print the code on table tents so ordering starts faster. Staff stop spelling the password across a noisy room, and guests connect themselves.

Airbnb hosting

Airbnb hosts frame the code in the entryway and stop answering late-night messages asking for the WiFi password. Guests scan on arrival and connect instantly.

Offices and events

Offices put the code in meeting rooms for visiting clients. Event venues share staff network access without shouting credentials across the hall.

Home fridge

Home users stick one on the fridge and never spell the password again. Guests join without ever seeing or typing the password themselves.

Getting it right

Small details, working codes.

Type the SSID exactly

Enter the network name exactly as the router broadcasts it. A typo produces a code that confidently connects to nothing.

Test before printing

Test the scan with a real phone before printing a stack of codes. A typo in the SSID produces a code that confidently connects to nothing.

Use a guest network

The QR encodes the password in plain text, so use a separate guest network with client isolation when you can.

WiFi QR Code Generator: built for trust

Setup takes under a minute: network name, password, security type, done. Print it, frame it, stick it on the fridge.
