Wi-Fi QR Code Generator
Share your Wi-Fi network credentials instantly—no typing required. Guests can scan and connect in seconds.
How It Works
When someone scans your Wi-Fi QR code, their device will automatically prompt them to join the network. On most modern smartphones (Android 10+, iOS 11+), the connection process is seamless—just scan and tap "Join" or "Connect".
Format Overview
Wi-Fi QR codes use the standardized WIFI: format, which encodes your network name (SSID), security type, password, and additional settings. The format follows this structure:
WIFI:S:"NetworkName";T:WPA;P:"password";H:false;;The components are:
- S: Network name (SSID) enclosed in quotes
- T: Security type (WPA, WEP, or nopass for open networks)
- P: Password enclosed in quotes (omitted for open networks)
- H: Whether the network is hidden (true/false)
- R: Optional parameter for WPA3-only networks (R:1 disables WPA2 fallback)
Special Character Escaping
If your network name or password contains special characters like backslash (), semicolon (;), comma (,), quote ("), or colon (:), they must be escaped with a backslash. Our generator handles this automatically.
Compatibility
- Android: Native support since Android 10 (via camera app or Quick Settings QR scanner)
- iOS: Native support since iOS 11 (via Camera app)
- Older devices: May require third-party QR scanner apps with Wi-Fi support
Security Notes
- WPA/WPA2/WPA3: Modern, secure encryption. WPA3 offers the strongest protection but requires compatible devices.
- WEP: Legacy encryption, considered insecure. Only use if you have older devices that don't support WPA.
- Open networks: No password required, but anyone can connect. Not recommended except for public/guest networks.
- Hidden networks: Provide minimal security benefit and can cause connection issues on some devices.
Tips
- Print your Wi-Fi QR code and place it where guests can easily scan it (near the entrance, in guest rooms, etc.)
- Consider creating separate QR codes for your main network and a guest network
- If you change your Wi-Fi password, remember to generate a new QR code
- Test the QR code with different devices to ensure compatibility
