WiFi QR Code Generator

Print it, frame it, and never spell your Wi-Fi password out loud again. One scan and the phone offers to join your network.

How it works: your phone already knows a standard format for Wi-Fi credentials — a payload that starts with WIFI:T:WPA;S:YourNetwork;P:yourpassword;;. This tool builds exactly that payload from the fields above and draws it as a static code. iPhones and Android phones both recognise it natively; no app is needed.

Three things to get right

SSID spelling is exact — including capitals and spaces. Pick the right security type: nearly every modern router is WPA/WPA2/WPA3; WEP is the ancient option, and "no password" is for open networks. Treat the printout like the password itself, because it is: anyone who can see the code can read the password out of it with any scanner. Put a guest-network code in the living room; don't tape your main network to the shop window.

Why a guest network is the smart move

Most routers can broadcast a second, isolated guest network. Print the code for that one. Guests get internet, your own devices stay invisible to them, and when you eventually change the guest password you only reprint one sign. The code itself never expires — if you change the password, print a fresh code, because a static code can't be edited after the fact (see static vs dynamic).

Frequently asked questions

Does the code work for hidden networks?

Yes — tick "Hidden network" and the payload includes the H:true flag, which tells the phone the SSID isn't being broadcast.

The password has commas or semicolons. Will it break?

No. The generator escapes the special characters the WIFI format reserves (backslash, semicolon, comma, colon, quote) exactly as the standard requires.

Which size should I print it?

For a table tent or a sign scanned at arm's length, 3–5 cm (about 1.5–2 inches) is plenty. Bigger for a wall poster people scan from a step back — see the size guide.
