A WiFi QR code holds the network name and the password, but a phone that scans it usually just joins the network and never shows you the password. That is no help when you need to type it into a laptop, a TV, a game console or a printer. Scan the code here instead: tap Scan an image and choose a screenshot or a photo of the code, drop the picture on the page, paste it, or tap Use camera and point it at the code. The panel shows the network name, the password, the security type and, if the network does not broadcast its name, that it is hidden. Tap the password to copy it.
Many routers carry a QR code on the sticker underneath, next to the printed password. Take a photo of the sticker, or scan it live with the camera, and the scanner finds the code even when it is only a small part of the picture. On many Android phones you can share the network you are connected to: open the WiFi settings, tap the network and choose Share, and the phone shows a QR code after asking for your screen lock. Take a screenshot of it and scan the screenshot here to read your own WiFi password. A code shown on a friend's phone screen scans the same way with the camera.
A WiFi QR code (some apps call it a WiFi barcode) is plain text in a fixed format: WIFI:T:WPA;S:network name;P:password;; where T is the security type, S the network name, P the password and an optional H:true marks a hidden network. Inside the code, characters with a meaning in the WiFi format are written with a backslash in front: a semicolon, a comma, a colon, a quote and the backslash itself. The scanner removes those escapes, so the password you copy is the real one, not the raw text. Security shows WPA/WPA2 for the usual home network (a WPA code also covers WPA2 routers), WPA3 where the code says so, WEP for old routers, and None for an open network, where the password line says None. Raw text shows the code exactly as it is stored. If the code turns out not to be a WiFi code, it is still read and its content is shown, and the QR code scanner handles every other kind of code, from links to contact cards.
This page reads WiFi QR codes. To make one for your own network, so guests can join without typing the password, use the QR code generator and choose Wi-Fi network: type the network name and the password, pick the security type, and download the code to print.
A WiFi QR code is your network password in picture form. It is read in your browser and never uploaded, the picture never leaves your device, and the camera picture is read frame by frame in the page without being recorded. On browsers without a built-in QR reader the page fetches a small open-source decoder the first time it needs one, and that download carries nothing of yours.
Scan the code on this page, with the camera or from a screenshot or photo of it. The network name and password appear in the panel, and one tap on the password copies it so you can paste it anywhere.
No, a web page cannot join a WiFi network. Copy the password and paste it on the device you are connecting, or scan the code with the phone's own camera app, which offers to join the network directly.
The code may be too small, blurred or covered by glare. Crop the photo closer to the code, take a sharper photo without reflections, or scan the code live with the camera, which reads it from many frames.
No. The picture is decoded on your device and the password stays in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, stored or shared.
