Tired of reading a long Wi-Fi password aloud letter by letter? This free WiFi QR code generator turns your network name and password into a code that guests scan with their phone camera — the phone offers to join the network immediately, no typing needed.

The code is built in your browser, so your Wi-Fi password is never uploaded or logged — a real risk with server-side generators. For a plain link or message instead of a network, use the QR Code Generator. And if you are setting up a new network, generate a strong password first with the Password Generator.

How to use

Type your Wi-Fi network name (SSID) exactly as it appears, including capitals.
Enter the password and pick the encryption: WPA/WPA2, WEP, or Open for a network with no password.
Tick Hidden network if your SSID is not broadcast.
Click Generate. Print the code or download the PNG/SVG and stick it where guests can scan it.

Why use Toolsvine

Your Wi-Fi password is a key to your home network — handing it to a random QR website means trusting a stranger's server with it. Toolsvine builds the code locally in your browser, so the password never leaves your device. It is free, needs no account, and the code never expires.

The WIFI: format, explained

Phones recognise Wi-Fi QR codes through a small text format that starts with WIFI: and ends with a double semicolon. A typical code reads WIFI:T:WPA;S:MyNetwork;P:secret123;H:false;; — T is the security type, S is the network name (SSID), P is the password, and H says whether the network is hidden.

Escaping special characters

Because semicolons, commas, colons, backslashes and double quotes have special meaning in this format, any of them inside your SSID or password must be escaped with a backslash — for example a semicolon becomes \;. This tool escapes them for you automatically, so a password like p;ss:word scans correctly instead of breaking the code.

Encryption types

Type	When to use it
WPA / WPA2	Almost every modern home and office network
WEP	Very old routers only — WEP is insecure and obsolete
Open (nopass)	Networks with no password, such as a guest hotspot

Most phones support these codes natively: iPhones scan them from the Camera app, and Android phones from the camera or the Wi-Fi settings screen. If a phone does not offer to join after scanning, double-check the SSID spelling and the encryption type — a single wrong capital letter in the SSID is the most common cause.

Frequently asked questions

Is my Wi-Fi password uploaded anywhere?

No. The QR code is generated entirely in your browser. Your network name and password never leave your device.

Will this work on iPhone and Android?

Yes, on modern versions. iPhones join from the Camera app; Android phones join from the camera or from Wi-Fi settings. Both read the same WIFI: format.

What if my network name or password contains a semicolon?

The tool escapes it automatically with a backslash, so the phone reads it as part of the password rather than as a separator. Type the password exactly as it is — the escaping is handled for you.

Does the code work for a hidden network?

Yes. Tick “Hidden network” and the code includes H:true, so the phone knows to look for a network that is not broadcasting its name.

Do I need to regenerate the code if I change my password?

Yes — the password is baked into the code itself. Change the password on your router, generate a fresh code here, and replace the old printout.
