WiFi QR Scan
Decode WiFi QR codes in your browser — nothing uploaded
There are plenty of QR decoders online. Most upload your image to a server. Most haven't been touched in years. WifiQRScan does the same thing, client-side. Drop an image, paste, or enter a URL — SSID and password appear instantly. Nothing leaves your device. Built on ZXing + WebAssembly, the same engine used in most mobile apps. Free, no account needed. Also generates WiFi QR codes to print or share.
I built this because I kept running into the same problem, someone shares a WiFi QR code, I'm on my laptop, and there's no easy way to decode it without installing an app or uploading the image to a random server.
Most tools that rank for this are years old and server-side. I just rebuilt it properly: ZXing compiled to WebAssembly, runs entirely in the browser. No uploads, no account, works offline.
Would love feedback, especially if something doesn't work on your device or browser. Happy to answer any questions!
P.S. It also has a general /decode page for non-WiFi QR codes! If you're ever in a Zoom meeting and someone shares a QR code for a Q&A or survey, just take a screenshot and hit Ctrl+V. No need to scan it with your phone just to get the link back to your laptop!
