How to use the WiFi QR Code Generator
- Enter your network name (SSID) and choose the security type.
- Enter the password (not needed for open networks) and mark a hidden network if needed.
- Download the QR code as a PNG and print it or share it.
How it works
The QR code stores a standard WiFi string, WIFI:T:WPA;S:name;P:password;; , which phones read to join the network. Special characters in names and passwords are escaped.
Worked example
Network “HomeWiFi”, WPA, password “guest1234” produces WIFI:T:WPA;S:HomeWiFi;P:guest1234;; and a QR code that joins that network.
Limits and good to know
Scanning works on iPhone (iOS 11+) and most Android phones through the camera. If you change the password, make a new QR code.
