“What’s the Wi-Fi password?” A shop, a café or a home with guests hears it every day. With a Wi-Fi QR code people point their camera and join, without typing a long password.

Steps to create a Wi-Fi QR code

  1. Go to Tools → Make a QR code.
  2. Choose Wi-Fi.
  3. Type the network name, pick the security (WPA/WPA2, WEP or None) and type the password.
  4. The code appears straight away. Tap Share code to send or print it.

Other QR codes

  • Link: your website, menu or Google review page.
  • Text: any short message.
  • Contact: your phone number and e-mail, saved straight to the scanner’s contacts.

Scan QR codes too

The same app scans QR codes and barcodes with the camera or from a photo, and turns a photo of a business card into a phone contact.

Try it on your phone. PDF Tools is free, works offline and needs no account.
