WiFi QR Code

How to use

  1. Enter the network name (SSID) and choose the security type; “WPA/WPA2/WPA3” suits most networks.
  2. Enter the WiFi password. Click the eye icon to show or hide it so you can check for typos.
  3. Tick “Hidden network” if your router does not broadcast the network name.
  4. The QR code appears in the preview. Click “Download PNG” or “Download SVG” to save it, or “Print card” to print a card with the network name and password for your living room, shop or meeting room.

FAQ

Is my WiFi password uploaded or saved?

No. The QR code is generated in your browser. The network name and password are never sent to a server or saved in the browser; they are gone when you close or reload the page. Only the security type and card options are remembered for next time.

How do guests scan it?

On an iPhone (iOS 11 or later) and most Android phones (Android 10 or later), open the camera, point it at the code and tap the notification to join. No app is needed. On older Android phones, use Google Lens or another QR scanner app.

Which security type should I choose?

The one your router uses. For WPA, WPA2 or WPA3 Personal choose “WPA/WPA2/WPA3”; phones use whichever version the router supports. Choose “WPA3 only” only if the router is set to WPA3-only. WEP is no longer secure; switch to WPA2 or WPA3 if you can. Enterprise networks (802.1X, with a username and password) cannot be shared this way.

Can the name or password contain special characters?

Yes. Backslash (\), semicolon (;), comma (,), colon (:) and double quote (") have special meanings in a WiFi QR code, so the tool escapes them automatically. Phones restore the original text when they scan it.

Does the QR code still work after I change the password?

No. The code holds the network name and password directly, with no link or redirect in between, so you need a new code after changing the password. As long as the password stays the same, the code never expires.

Is it safe to post a WiFi QR code in public?

Anyone who can scan the code can read the password, so treat it as public. For visitors, set up a separate guest network on your router that is isolated from your own devices, and make the QR code for that network.
