About the WiFi QR Code Generator
This generator builds a QR code using the standard WIFI: URI format that iOS (since iOS 11) and Android (since Android 10) recognise natively in their camera apps — no third-party scanner app needed. The encoded string contains the network name, password, encryption type, and a hidden-network flag, all rendered into a static QR code that never expires. Print it and stick it on your fridge, frame it for your office reception, or put it in a guest welcome kit. Because the QR is generated client-side, your WiFi password is never sent to any server, never logged, and never visible in network requests.
Common use cases
- Guest WiFi for cafés, restaurants, and Airbnb listings
- Office reception or meeting room WiFi cards
- Home WiFi printout for visitors and family
- Conference and event WiFi signage
- Quick mobile-to-mobile WiFi sharing without typing passwords
Why client-side?
Every byte you paste, type, or upload here is processed entirely inside your browser. Nothing is sent to a server, logged, or stored. That means it's safe to use this tool on production secrets, customer data, internal logs, and any input you would not paste into a hosted SaaS formatter.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How does a WiFi QR code work?
- It encodes your network name (SSID), password, and encryption type into a standard QR code. When scanned by a modern phone camera, the OS recognises the WIFI: prefix and offers a one-tap 'Join Network' prompt. No app required on iOS 11+, Android 10+, and most modern devices.
- Will this WiFi QR code expire?
- No. The code is static — it contains the password directly, with no third-party service in between. It works as long as the network name and password remain unchanged.
- Is my WiFi password sent to a server?
- No. The QR code is generated entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your network credentials never leave your device, never appear in network logs, and aren't stored anywhere.
- Does this work for hidden networks?
- Yes. Tick the 'Hidden network' option and the QR code will include the H:true flag, telling the scanner to look for an SSID that doesn't broadcast.
- Which encryption types are supported?
- WPA / WPA2 / WPA3 (most common), WEP (legacy / insecure), and open networks (no password). For modern WiFi, always use WPA.
