WiFi QR Code

Generator / Scanner

Wi-Fi QR code scanner

Scan a Wi-Fi code to see the network name and password, so you can type them on a laptop, TV or console that has no camera.

Tip: copy a screenshot and press Ctrl+V / ⌘V anywhere on this page to scan it.

Paste a WIFI: text instead

Decoding happens on your device. The camera feed and images are never uploaded.

Getting the password out of a Wi-Fi QR code

Every Wi-Fi QR code carries its password as readable text, in a line like WIFI:T:WPA;S:Home;P:correct-horse;;. Phone cameras usually hide that and just offer to join. This page shows it.

If the code is on your own phone, there is a quicker way: on iPhone, open the Passwords app (iOS 18 and later) and pick the network; on Android 10 and later, tap the network in Wi-Fi settings and choose Share. See the iPhone and Android guides.

Only scan codes for networks you are allowed to use.

Questions

Can I see the Wi-Fi password from a QR code?

Yes. The password is stored as plain text inside every Wi-Fi QR code (except open networks). Scan the code here, or with a camera that shows the text, and the password is displayed.

Is the image or camera feed uploaded?

No. Decoding uses a plain JavaScript QR decoder that runs in your browser. The camera feed and any image you pick never leave your device.

Why does my phone connect but not show the password?

iPhone and many Android camera apps join the network directly without displaying the password. This scanner shows it so you can type it on a laptop or TV.

How do I find the Wi-Fi password from a QR code on my phone?

Take a screenshot of the code (or a photo of a printed one), open this page and pick that image, or paste it with Ctrl+V / ⌘V. The network name and password appear; tap Show to reveal the password.

Why does my phone connect after scanning but the internet does not work?

The code only joins the network. If pages do not load, the network may need you to accept terms on a sign-in page, the router may be offline, or the network may block new devices. Try opening any website to trigger the sign-in page.

The scanner can’t read my code. What now?

Fill most of the frame with the code, avoid glare, and make sure the whole code including its white border is visible. For a screenshot, crop tightly around the code and try again.
