Why is my password not joining?

Most common: wrong security type. WPA2 and WPA3 both use the 'WPA' value. WEP is its own option (and you shouldn't be using WEP in 2026). Open networks use 'No password'.

Does it work on iPhone?

Yes since iOS 11 — open the Camera app, point at the code, tap the WiFi banner.

What's the 'hidden' option?

If your SSID is hidden (not broadcast), set H:true so the phone knows to manually search instead of expecting to see it in the list.

Is the password really safe to print?

The QR contains your password in plaintext — anyone who scans the printed code gets WiFi access. Treat the printout like you'd treat your password.

WiFi QR Code Generator

Most modern phones (iOS 11+, Android 10+) join a WiFi network by pointing the camera at a properly-formatted QR code. This tool builds that payload (`WIFI:T:WPA;S:My Network;P:hunter2;;`) and renders it as PNG and SVG. SSID and password are escaped per the spec (semicolons, commas, colons, quotes, backslashes). Nothing leaves your browser — the QR is computed locally and rendered in-page.

Download the PNG/SVG and print or share.

Guides on this topic

Why your QR code won't scan on some phones It works on your desk and fails on the poster. QR codes are read by finding three corner squares in a clean margin, and most scanning failures are a margin, a contrast or a size problem rather than anything wrong with the data inside.
