Wi-Fi QR Code
Share your network with a scan.

What the Wi-Fi QR code generator does
This tool turns your network name, security type and password into a QR code. When someone points a phone camera at it, the phone offers to join the network, so nobody has to read out or type a long password.
It suits homes with regular visitors, holiday lets, cafés, offices, waiting rooms and events. Print the code and put it by the router, on the fridge or on a table card.
How to use the Wi-Fi QR code generator
- Enter the network name exactly as it appears, including capitals. It can be up to 32 characters.
- Choose the security type (WPA / WPA2 / WPA3, WEP or none) and enter the password. Tick Show password to check what you typed.
- Download the PNG (with the network name printed under the code) or the SVG, or press Print to print it straight away.
Tips
The code holds one short line of text in the standard Wi-Fi format, starting with WIFI: and followed by the security type, network name and password. Characters with a special meaning in that format, such as semicolons, commas, colons, quotes and backslashes, are escaped for you, so unusual passwords still work.
A mistyped password is easy to miss, so the tool warns you if a WPA password is shorter than 8 characters, the minimum WPA allows, or if a secured network has no password at all. Test the code with your own phone before you print copies, and make a new one whenever you change the password.
Questions
Which phones can scan it?
iPhones from iOS 11 and Android phones from Android 10 join straight from the camera app. Older phones may need a QR scanner app.
Is my password sent to UtiBox?
No. The code is made in your browser and the password never leaves your device. Anyone who scans the printed code can read the password, so only show it to people you would give it to.
My network is hidden. Will it work?
Tick Hidden network so the phone looks for it even though it does not broadcast its name.
Does the SVG include the network name?
No. The SVG holds only the code, which suits designs where you add your own text. The PNG adds the network name and a short “Scan to join” line under the code, unless you untick that option.
Why doesn’t the Print button open anything?
It opens a printable page in a new window, which some browsers block as a pop-up. Allow pop-ups for UtiBox and try again, or download the PNG and print that.
