Quick answer: Encodes the standard WIFI: payload (type, SSID, escaped password) into a scannable QR — guests join without typing. Generated locally; the password ne Free, instant, private — runs entirely in your browser.
Uses the same QR library as our QR generator — rendered on-device.
How to use
- Type your network name into 'Network name (SSID)' exactly as it appears on your devices.
- Enter the Wi-Fi password in 'Password' - capitalization and special characters matter.
- Select 'Security': WPA/WPA2 for modern routers, WEP only for legacy hardware, None for open guest networks.
- Scan the rendered QR with a phone to confirm the join prompt appears.
- Print the code or save the page as a PDF, then frame it where guests can see it.
- Regenerate the code whenever the router password changes, and take down the old printout.
About this tool
Encodes the standard WIFI: payload (type, SSID, escaped password) into a scannable QR — guests join without typing. Generated locally; the password never leaves this page.
Every guest asks for the Wi-Fi password, and every guest mishears it. A Wi-Fi QR code ends the ritual: the code encodes the standard WIFI: payload - network name, password and security type - and phones that scan it offer to join the network directly. This generator builds that payload with proper escaping of special characters and renders the QR on your own device using a bundled library. Cafes, guest rooms, offices and classrooms print it once and stop spelling passwords over the counter. Nothing is transmitted while you type - the password field is processed entirely in the page.
Enter the SSID exactly as the router broadcasts it - capitalization and spaces count - choose the security type that matches the network, and test the code with a phone before printing. A few honest caveats: the tool has no hidden-network flag, so it is meant for networks that broadcast normally; WEP is listed for old hardware but modern phones handle it inconsistently and it offers no real security; and enterprise networks with per-user logins are not supported at all. Treat a printed code as the password itself - whoever scans it is in.
