Wi-Fi QR Code Generator
Turn your Wi-Fi name and password into a QR code that guests scan to join, then print it as a sign for the counter, the wall or the front desk.
What goes inside the code
The code holds one line of text in the standard Wi-Fi format: WIFI:T:WPA;S:YourNetwork;P:YourPassword;H:false;;. T is the security type (WPA, WEP or nopass), S the network name, P the password and H whether the network is hidden. The characters \ ; , : " in the name or password are escaped with a backslash so phones do not read them as separators.
Anyone who can scan the code can join the network, so put a guest network on the sign, not the one your business devices use. Need other kinds of codes (links, contacts, text)? Use the QR Code Generator.

Frequently asked questions
How does a Wi-Fi QR code work?
The code holds your network name, security type and password in a standard text format that starts with WIFI:. Current iPhone and Android cameras recognize it and offer to join the network. If a phone does not, the guest can still type the network name and password, so print them on the sign if you like.
Is my Wi-Fi password sent anywhere?
No. The QR code is drawn in your browser by code on this page. Your network name and password are not sent to DIPAZE or anyone else, are not saved and are not added to the page address. Once the page has loaded, the generator keeps working even with the internet turned off.
What happens if I change my Wi-Fi password?
The old code stops working, because the password is stored inside the code itself. Make a new code and print a new sign whenever you change the password. A separate guest network lets you change the guest password without touching the network your business devices use.
Does it work with special characters in the password?
Yes. Characters that have a meaning in the Wi-Fi QR format, such as semicolons, commas, colons, quotes and backslashes, are escaped automatically. Test the printed code with both an iPhone and an Android phone before you put it up, since a few older scanner apps handle escaping differently.
