How to make a WiFi QR code
- Enter your network name exactly as it appears on your phone, including capital letters.
- Enter the password and choose the security type. Most home and business routers use WPA or WPA2.
- Pick colors and a frame. The "Join our WiFi" frame tells people what the code does.
- Download the PNG for printing or the SVG for designers, then scan it with your own phone to test.
Where to put it
Cafes and restaurants put it on table tents and at the counter. Hotels and rentals add it to the welcome card in each room. Offices place it at reception for visitors, and at home it works well on the fridge or near the router.
Is it safe?
The code contains your network name and password, so anyone who scans it can join. That is the point for a guest network. For a business, use a separate guest network rather than the one your staff and payment devices use. Rumooz creates the code inside your browser, so your password is never sent to us.
Printing tips
- Print it at least 3 cm wide for a table card and 8 cm or more for a wall.
- Keep dark code on a light background. Light codes on dark backgrounds fail on some phones.
- If you change your WiFi password, make a new code. The old one will stop connecting.
Frequently asked questions
Does a WiFi QR code work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. The built in camera on iPhone and on most Android phones recognises WiFi codes and offers to join the network with one tap.
Does the WiFi QR code expire?
No. The network details are stored inside the code itself, so it keeps working as long as your network name and password stay the same.
Is my WiFi password sent to Rumooz?
No. The code is generated in your browser and your password never leaves your device.
What if my network is hidden?
Tick Hidden network before downloading. Phones will then look for the network even though it does not broadcast its name.
