Technical notes
A Wi-Fi QR code encodes the standard WIFI:T:WPA;S:NetworkName;P:Password;; format. When a phone scans it, it auto-fills the network details and offers one-tap joining — far more practical than dictating a password one guest at a time, especially for cafés, offices and guest networks.
If the SSID or password contains special characters like ; , : \ or quotes, they are 'escaped' with a backslash (\) so they don't break the format. The tool does this escaping automatically, but make sure you enter the password characters correctly.
The security type must be chosen correctly: WPA/WPA2 for modern networks, WEP for very old ones, 'nopass' for open networks. Choosing the wrong type is the most common cause of failure to connect. For hidden networks (that don't broadcast the SSID), you must tick the 'hidden' flag.
This tool makes a static QR; the network details live inside the code, work indefinitely and rely on no server. iOS and current Android versions support Wi-Fi QR codes from the camera app. For other content types, see the QR code generator.
Frequently asked questions
The scanning phone connects automatically; on most devices they don't have to type the password. But someone who can see the QR could reveal the password on their own device, so it's ideal for a guest network — be careful with sensitive networks.
