Wi-Fi QR Code Generator Online

Updated 2026-08-03

// how to use

  1. 1 Type your network name (SSID) exactly as it appears when you connect — it is case-sensitive.
  2. 2 Pick the security type. Almost every modern router is WPA/WPA2; choose "nopass" for an open network.
  3. 3 Enter the password, then download the SVG for print or the PNG for a screen.

// examples

A guest network
Input
SSID Cafe-Guest, WPA, password flatwhite2026
Output
WIFI:T:WPA;S:Cafe-Guest;P:flatwhite2026;;
A password with punctuation
Input
SSID Cafe;Bar, password p,ss"word
Output
WIFI:T:WPA;S:Cafe\;Bar;P:p\,ss\"word;; — the reserved characters are escaped so the phone reads the whole password
An open network
Input
SSID Airport-Free, nopass
Output
WIFI:T:nopass;S:Airport-Free;;

// common uses

A café, salon or waiting-room guest network on a table card Onboarding visitors to an office network without reading the password aloud Holiday lets and Airbnbs, printed in the welcome pack Conference and event Wi-Fi on signage

// faq

Why does my Wi-Fi QR code join with the wrong password?
Almost always because the password contains a semicolon, comma, colon, double quote or backslash and the generator did not escape it. Those five characters are field separators in the WIFI: format, so an unescaped one ends the password early — the code scans fine and the join fails. This tool escapes all five, which is why the encoded payload shown under the form has backslashes in it.
Does scanning it work on both iPhone and Android?
Yes. iOS has read Wi-Fi QR codes from the Camera app since iOS 11, and Android since 10. Older Android needs a QR app rather than the camera. Neither will join silently — the phone always asks first.
Should I choose WPA or WEP?
WPA, unless you genuinely have decades-old hardware. WEP is cryptographically broken and modern Android and iOS refuse to join WEP networks at all, so a WEP code will simply fail on most phones. The tool warns you when you pick it.
What does "hidden network" do?
It adds H:true, telling the phone the network does not broadcast its name so it should probe for it directly. Only tick it if you actually disabled SSID broadcast — setting it on a normal network can stop the join working.
Can someone read my password from the QR code?
Yes — a QR code is not encryption. Anyone who can photograph it can decode the password, exactly as if you had written it on the wall. That is fine for a guest network on a café table and wrong for your main network.
