How to create a WiFi QR Code (step by step)
Step-by-step guide to creating a WiFi QR Code: your customers or guests connect without typing the password. Where to place it and security tips.
A WiFi QR Code stores the network name and password in a single code. Anyone who scans it with their phone camera connects instantly, without typing anything. It is perfect for cafés, restaurants, rentals, offices and for welcoming guests at home.
Why use a WiFi QR Code
- Customers connect in seconds, without asking staff for the password.
- Avoids mistakes when typing long passwords full of symbols.
- Gives a professional touch to a café, restaurant or holiday rental.
- You can change the guest network password and generate a new code whenever you like.
Step by step to create yours
- Open the QR Code tool on BIT.cv and pick the "WiFi" type.
- Enter the exact network name (SSID), respecting upper and lower case.
- Type the password and select the security type (usually WPA/WPA2).
- Customise the colours and, if you want, add your logo in the centre.
- Download the code in high resolution (PNG or SVG) and print it.
Where to place the code
Put it where people can see it easily: on the table, the counter, the front door, the window or a sign near reception. In a rental, leave it in the welcome guide. Print it at a good size with strong contrast so any camera reads it first time, even in low light.
Tips and security
- Create a guest network separate from your main one — that way you share internet access without exposing your own devices.
- Test the code with your own phone before printing and handing it out.
- Leave white space around the code and avoid patterned backgrounds so scanning does not fail.
- If you change the password, remember to generate and replace the code.
