WiFi QR Code Generator — Free
This free Wi-Fi QR Code Generator turns your network name and password into a single scannable code. Anyone who points a phone camera at it is offered an instant connection — no typing the password, no spelling out the network name letter by letter, no mistakes with capital letters and symbols. It is the trick cafes, restaurants, Airbnb hosts, offices and families use to share Wi-Fi politely: print the code, frame it or stick it on the fridge, and guests connect themselves.
The code uses the standard Wi-Fi QR format that Android and iPhone cameras understand natively, with the special characters in your network name and password escaped correctly — the detail generic QR tools leave you to figure out yourself, which is why hand-made Wi-Fi codes so often fail. Everything is generated locally in your browser: your Wi-Fi password is never uploaded, stored or tracked, so it stays as private as the piece of paper you print it on.
How to use
- Type your Wi-Fi network name (SSID) exactly as it appears in your phone's Wi-Fi list.
- Type the password exactly, including capitals and symbols.
- Choose the security type — WPA/WPA2/WPA3 covers almost every home network.
- Tick "Hidden network" only if your router does not broadcast its name.
- Click Generate, then test the code with your own phone before printing it.
- Download the PNG and print it for your wall, guest book, menu or rental welcome pack.
Frequently asked questions
Does it work with both iPhone and Android?
Yes. Modern iPhones and Android phones both recognise the Wi-Fi QR format in their built-in camera apps. Scanning shows a "Join this network?" prompt; one tap connects. Very old phones may need a QR scanner app that supports Wi-Fi codes.
What if my password contains special characters?
The generator escapes them automatically. Characters like semicolons, commas, quotes and backslashes have special meanings inside the Wi-Fi QR format, and escaping them wrongly is the number one reason homemade Wi-Fi codes fail — this tool handles it for you.
Is it safe to share my Wi-Fi password as a QR code?
The code contains your password in readable form, so treat the printout like the password itself: fine for your home or guest network, not for a network that must stay secret. Many hosts use a separate guest network for exactly this purpose.
Is my password private here?
Yes. The code is created on your own device in your browser. Your network name and password are never sent to a server or saved anywhere.
