How to Use the Wi-Fi QR Code Generator
Enter your Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and password to generate a scannable QR code. Guests can connect to your network by pointing their smartphone camera at the code — no typing required. Everything is processed locally in your browser; no credentials are sent to any server.

Security Type Guide
Choose WPA/WPA2/WPA3 for virtually all modern home and office routers. WEP is a legacy standard with known vulnerabilities and should be avoided. Select None only for intentionally open guest networks, such as in a café or lobby, and be aware that all traffic on open networks is unencrypted.
Privacy Considerations When Sharing
The QR code encodes your SSID and password in plain text. Anyone who scans or photographs the QR code can retrieve your password. For guest access, consider setting up a separate guest Wi-Fi network with its own password, and generate a QR code for that network instead of your main network.
Frequently Asked Questions
Double-check the SSID and password for typos, especially case sensitivity. If your network is hidden (SSID broadcast is off), enable the Hidden SSID checkbox. Also ensure the device supports the frequency band (2.4 GHz vs. 5 GHz) your router is using.
Yes. The generator automatically escapes semicolons (;), commas (,), colons (:), backslashes (\), and double-quotes (") so the Wi-Fi QR string is correctly encoded regardless of special characters in your password.
