Share your Wi-Fi with a printed QR code

This tutorial makes a small sign that lets guests join your Wi-Fi with one scan.

Make the sign

Make the code. Open the Wi-Fi tab in the generator, enter the network name and password, and choose the security type. See Make a Wi-Fi QR code for each field.
Download an SVG. It stays sharp at any size. Use PNG if your program cannot open SVG.
Put it in a document. In a word processor or design tool, place the code on a plain white page. Make it at least 3 cm (about an inch) wide, and leave a clear margin around it.
Add a line of text. Put it above or below the code, such as the network name and “Scan to join”. Keep the text away from the code itself.
Print and test. Scan the printed sign with a phone that has not joined the network before. If it does not connect, see A Wi-Fi QR code does not connect.
Put it up. Stand it where guests wait or sit, away from glare.

Note

If you change the Wi-Fi password later, the printed code stops working. Make a new one and replace the sign.
