WIFI:T:WPA;S:MyNetwork;P:mypassword;;About Wi-Fi QR Code Generator
Reading out a Wi-Fi password letter by letter for guests is tedious and error-prone. This tool encodes your network name, security type, and password into a QR code locally in your browser, using the standard format phone cameras recognize (WIFI:T:WPA;S:name;P:password;;), so guests just scan to join. It draws straight onto a Canvas and supports download; the password is only used to build the code in your browser and never uploaded, so a printed code on the wall stays safe. Tip: Bookmark this tool for quick access during your web development work. All processing happens locally in your browser with no installation required.

Use Cases
- Shop signage — Generate a Wi-Fi QR code for a cafe or guesthouse to print on the wall instead of dictating passwords.
- Guest network — Create a dedicated code for a company guest SSID so visitors connect themselves.
- Event hotspot — Turn a temporary hotspot into a QR code on screen at an event so attendees scan to connect.
- Hidden network — Produce a code with the hidden flag so devices can join an SSID that is not broadcast.
- Home sharing — Make a QR for a long, complex home password and stick it on the fridge for family and friends.
- Conference badge — Generate a QR code for the conference Wi-Fi and embed it into digital badge images for attendees.
- IoT device setup — Create a QR code with the 2.4 GHz SSID so IoT gadgets that scan the code join the correct band.
FAQ
What format is inside the QR code?
It uses the WIFI: scheme that mainstream phone cameras support, like WIFI:T:WPA;S:name;P:password;; where T is the security type, S the SSID, and P the password — the trailing semicolons are required.
Is my password sent online?
No. The code is drawn entirely in your browser on a Canvas and the password never leaves your machine. Note the QR itself contains the password in clear text, so print and post it only within trusted areas.
Which security types are supported?
WPA/WPA2 (the most common — use WPA), WEP, and open networks with no password (choose nopass). WPA3 devices usually still read a code marked WPA.
What if the SSID or password has special characters?
Semicolons, commas, colons, and backslashes must be backslash-escaped or parsing fails. This tool handles the escaping automatically, so just type the raw values.
Do both iPhone and Android scan it?
The camera on iOS 11+ and mainstream Android cameras or scanner apps natively support this format; point at the code and a connect prompt appears with no extra app needed.
Any browser compatibility requirements?
This tool works in all modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari). No plugins or extensions required.
Can I use it offline?
After initial load, most features work offline. The core logic runs entirely in your browser with no network dependency.
