📶 WiFi QR Code Generator
Make a WiFi QR code that connects a phone to your network with a scan — no password typing, no app, no tracking redirect.
Scanning this code connects a phone to your WiFi automatically — perfect for a guest network or a printed card. The password is encoded directly into the code and never leaves your browser; there's no tracking redirect, so it never expires.
How the wifi qr code generator works
Enter your network name, security type and password, and the tool encodes the standard WIFI: string — WIFI:T:WPA;S:yourssid;P:yourpassword;; — that iOS and Android cameras recognise natively. Special characters in the name and password are escaped correctly (the detail most generators get wrong), and the code is drawn straight to the QR; scanning it offers to join the network.
Many “free WiFi QR” sites route the code through their own tracking domain, so it pings them on every scan and stops working if they shut down. This encodes the WiFi credentials directly into the QR — no middleman, nothing uploaded, and it never expires.
Frequently asked questions
How does a WiFi QR code work?
It encodes a WIFI: string containing the network name (SSID), security type and password. When a phone camera scans it, the OS reads that string and offers to join the network automatically — no manual typing.
Is my WiFi password safe?
Yes — the whole code is generated in your browser and never uploaded anywhere. The password is encoded into the image on your device; nothing is sent to a server.
Which phones can scan it?
Modern iPhones (iOS 11+) and Android phones (Android 10+) read WiFi QR codes with the built-in camera app — no separate app needed.
What security type should I choose?
Choose WPA for any modern network (it covers WPA, WPA2 and WPA3). Use WEP only for very old routers, or “None” for an open network with no password.
Why does my password with special characters fail elsewhere?
The WIFI: format requires escaping backslash, semicolon, comma, colon and quote characters. This tool escapes them automatically, so passwords with special characters encode correctly.
Does the code expire?
No. Because the credentials are encoded directly (not via a redirect service), the code works forever — perfect for printing on a guest-room card or café table tent.
