WiFi QR on Your Phone — Step by Step

Creating a WiFi QR code from your phone is especially useful when you're already connected to the network:

• iPhone (iOS 16+): Settings → Wi-Fi → tap your network → Password will show (Face ID/Touch ID required). Copy it, then paste into the QR generator.
• Android: Settings → Wi-Fi → tap your network → Share → shows a QR code. But if you want custom colors or SVG, use the browser generator instead.

Tip: Android actually has a built-in WiFi QR sharing feature in Settings. But it generates a plain black-and-white code with no customization. The browser generator lets you match brand colors and download in both PNG and SVG formats.
