Wi-Fi QR code

Make a QR code for your Wi-Fi: guests point the phone camera and join without typing the password. Works on iPhone and Android, with a printable card, PNG and SVG. The password never leaves your browser.

The QR code is generated in your browser; the network name and password are never sent anywhere.

How to join with the QR code

  • iPhone and iPad (iOS 11+): open the Camera, point it at the code and tap the "Join network" banner.
  • Android (10+): the camera or Google Lens; many phones have a scanner right in the Wi-Fi settings, the QR icon next to "Add network".

What is inside the code

A plain string like WIFI:T:WPA;S:name;P:password;;. Special characters \ ; , : " in the name and password are escaped with a backslash; the generator does it for you. WPA3 uses the same WPA type; the phone picks the method itself.

Tips

Make a separate guest network for visitors: its password is fine on the wall and guests will not see your devices. Our MikroTik generator sets one up with a single checkbox.
