QRsetter

Wi-Fi QR code generator for signs and sheets

A guest points the phone camera at the code and joins the network without typing the password. Make a code for one network or for a whole list of them. Free, no sign-up.

Step 1 · Content

Network name;password (separated by a semicolon) One line = one QR code that joins a Wi-Fi network.
The camera offers to join the network. The separator is a semicolon, because a network name can contain spaces. An empty password means an open network. The third part becomes the caption under the code.Corner Cafe;guestpass2026
Guest;;Open networkWhen importing CSV or Excel the file columns are: network name, password, caption.
Limits: up to 1500 networks, a password of 8 to 63 characters (WPA/WPA2).

Step 2 · Look and size
Fine tuning optional

Margins

Frame

Short ticks at the corners of every cell to cut along. Needs a gap between codes of 0.5 cm or more and a sheet margin of 0.25 cm or more.

Color

No fill: the code sits on the layout background, which has to be light. In a PDF this is the color of the paper.

How to make a QR code for Wi-Fi

  1. Enter the network name and the password. Type the network name and the password on one line with a semicolon between them, for example "Corner Cafe;guestpass2026". The separator is a semicolon because a network name can contain spaces. Every line becomes its own code. Add one more semicolon and your own text after it, and that text prints under the code as a caption. For a long list, import a TXT, CSV or Excel (XLSX) file.
  2. Pick the layout. In step 2 choose "Sheet of codes" for small codes in a grid, or "Sign: one code per sheet" for a sheet you hang on the wall or stand on a table. The sign has a "Wi-Fi" template with the title "Wi-Fi for guests". Type your own title and subtitle over them. The sheet format is next to the layout: A4 or US Letter, whichever paper is in your printer.
  3. Download and print. Click "Download PDF" and print the file at 100% scale. SVG goes into a menu or a brochure in a graphic editor. PNG goes into a document or a slide. Before you print the whole run, scan the code with a phone and check that the phone joins the network.

Where these signs go

With a printed code, guests stop asking for the password at the counter. Put a sign on a cafe table, in a hotel room, in a short-term rental, at a reception desk or in a meeting room.

A hotel has a network on every floor, and an office has a guest network in every meeting room. Paste all the networks into the field, one per line, and each code gets its caption, for example "Floor 2" or "Room 14".

To print many small codes on one sheet, for example one per table, see the page printing QR codes on a sheet.

What the sign prints, which sheet fits a table, a desk and a door, and how to print A6 signs on A4 or Letter paper: the article on a printable Wi-Fi sign for guests goes through it with the code side for each sheet.

Frequently asked questions

How does a phone join Wi-Fi from a QR code?

The code holds a text string in the standard WIFI format with the network name, the security type and the password. Point the phone camera at the code, and the phone offers to join the network. On iPhone and Android the built-in camera reads the code, so guests do not need an extra app.

What do I enter for a network without a password?

Leave the password empty: "Guest;;Open network". The generator writes the type nopass into the code, and the phone joins without asking for a password.

Which passwords and network names work?

A password takes 8 to 63 characters: Latin letters, digits and punctuation, as WPA and WPA2 require. A network name takes up to 32 bytes, which is 32 Latin characters. The generator rejects a line that breaks these limits and names the reason.

Is it safe to print the password in a QR code?

Anyone who scans the code reads the password, so print the code only for the guest network you hand out to visitors anyway. An office network with access to internal systems does not go on a sign.

What size should the code on the sign be?

Make the side of the code about one tenth of the scanning distance. Guests scan a table sign from about 30 cm (11.8 in), so a 3 cm (1.2 in) code is enough. For a sign on a wall, the form has an 8 cm (3.1 in) preset.

Can I make codes for several networks at once?

Put every network on its own line, or import a file with the network name in one column and the password in the next. One run takes up to 1,500 networks. With the sign layout every network gets its own sheet, and all the sheets come in one PDF.

Does the code stop working after a while?

No. The code is static. The network name and the password sit in the code itself, and nothing goes through QRsetter when a guest scans it. The code works until you change the password. After that, make a new code.
