WiFi QR Code Generator

SSID & Password

Create a printable WiFi QR code from network name, password, and encryption. Guests scan to join—no typing. Runs in your browser.

This conversion runs only in your browser — nothing is uploaded.

  • Network name (SSID)
  • EncryptionWPA/WPA2/WPA3
  • Size
Enter the network name to generate a WiFi QR.

What is this tool?

A dedicated form for WiFi QR codes. You enter SSID, password, encryption (WPA / WEP / open), and whether the network is hidden. The tool emits the standard WIFI:T:…;S:…;P:…;; string and renders a PNG.

It is not a general-purpose QR encoder. For links or plain text, use the QR code generator.

Common use cases

  • Print a guest-network card for a cafe, office lobby, or Airbnb
  • Put the code on a slide so attendees join without typing a long password
  • Label a travel router so family devices can join after a reset

How to use

  1. Enter the exact SSID (case-sensitive).
  2. Choose encryption and the password (skip password for an open network).
  3. Optionally mark the network as hidden.
  4. Preview, Copy the image, or Download the PNG, then scan-test on a phone.

Examples

InputNotes
SSID GuestWiFi, WPA, password example-passSample button payload; scanners should offer a join sheet.
Open network, SSID Airport-FreeT:nopass — no password field in the payload.
Hidden SSID with WPAAdds H:true; so the camera can still propose the hidden network.
SSID containing ; or \Those characters are escaped in the WIFI string; keep the printed QR uncropped.

Practical pitfalls

  • SSID mismatch: guest networks often have a different name than the main LAN. Encoding the wrong SSID looks fine and still fails to join.
  • Print size: a 256px PNG stretched across a poster becomes unscannable; keep modules large in physical millimeters.
  • This is not a Wi‑Fi password cracker and does not talk to your router.

Frequently asked questions

How do phones join WiFi from a QR code?
Most iOS and Android cameras recognize the `WIFI:T:…;S:…;P:…;;` payload and offer to join that network. The guest still needs radio range; the QR does not send the password to any server.
WPA vs WEP vs open — what should I pick?
Use WPA/WPA2/WPA3 for almost every home or office network. WEP is legacy. Choose open only when the network has no password. A mismatch with the real encryption type makes scans fail or join incorrectly.
Is the password uploaded?
No. The QR is drawn in your browser from the fields you type. Nothing is sent to Utill.net.
Can I encode a URL instead?
Use the generic QR code generator for URLs and arbitrary text. This page is only for WiFi join codes.
