What a Wi-Fi QR code contains
A standard Wi-Fi QR code can include the network name, security type, password, and whether the network is hidden. Treat the image like a written password and share it only with people you trust.
Decode without automatic connection
Upload the image or scan it with the camera. QR Scan Online displays the parsed fields so you can confirm the network before copying any detail. The website does not automatically connect your device.
Keep shared networks safer
Use a guest network for visitors when possible and rotate its password if a QR image is shared publicly. WPA2 or WPA3 is preferable to an open network.
QR image decoding happens inside your browser. QR Scan Online does not need a copy of the image or the decoded content.
Frequently asked questions
Will the scanner reveal the Wi-Fi password?+
If the password is encoded in the QR content, it can be displayed after decoding. The result stays in your browser unless you copy or share it.
Does scanning connect me automatically?+
No. QR Scan Online previews the information and leaves the connection decision to you and your operating system.
