Free tool
Free QR code maker for rental hosts
Make a QR code for your Wi-Fi, your digital guidebook or any link, a note, a phone number, a text message, an email, directions or a contact card. Save it as PNG or SVG and print it on a sign or in your welcome book. Nothing you type leaves your browser.
Good for: Put it on your Wi-Fi sign or in your welcome book. Guests scan it and join without typing the password.
Exactly as it shows on a phone, capitals and spaces included.
Exactly as typed, capitals included.
Not sure? Leave it on the first choice. Most home routers use WPA2 or WPA3, and the router's label usually says which.
Good for: Your digital guidebook, house manual, a check-in video, your listing, your own booking site or the link guests use to leave a review.
Copy it from your browser's address bar and paste it here. For a Google Drive or Dropbox file, set sharing to anyone with the link first.
Good for: A short note that pops up on the phone, e.g. "Beach chairs and the umbrella are in the shed by the gate." No door codes: send those in your check-in message.
Keep it short: a sentence or two scans best.
Good for: A "Call us" card by the door or in the welcome book, so guests can reach you in one tap.
Include the area code, e.g. (555) 010-2244. Add +1 (or your country code) if guests visit from abroad.
Good for: A "Text us" sign. It opens a text to you with a message ready, e.g. "Hi, we're checked in."
Include the area code.
Guests can change it before they send.
Good for: A "Book direct next time" card that opens an email to you with the subject already filled in.
Good for: Directions to the house for arriving guests, the beach access, the trailhead or overflow parking.
e.g. 100 Main Street, Fort Lauderdale, FL, or 26.1224, -80.1373. For an exact spot like a gate, use the numbers: long-press it in your map app to copy them.
Google Maps opens on iPhone and Android (in the app or the browser). Apple Maps opens in the app on iPhone; on Android it opens a web page.
Good for: Guests save your name, number and email to their phone's contacts in one scan, so they can find you again to book direct.
Add a phone or an email, or both.

Questions
Is my Wi-Fi password sent anywhere?
No. The code is made by your own browser, on your device. Nothing you type is sent to us or anyone else, saved, or tracked. Once this page has loaded you can turn off your internet and it still works.
Do the codes expire?
No. The information is inside the code itself, not on a server, so it works for as long as the details stay the same. If you change your Wi-Fi password or your link, make a new code and reprint.
How big should I print it?
At least 1 inch (2.5 cm) wide for a short Wi-Fi or link code, and 2 inches (5 cm) or more for long text or a contact card. Keep the white border around it. Black on white scans best.
Will it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. Both scan QR codes with the built-in camera app: point the camera at the code and tap the banner that appears. Older phones may need a free scanner app.
PNG or SVG?
PNG for the Code & Key PDFs, Word, Canva and most apps. SVG if a print shop or design app asks for a vector file; it stays sharp at any size.
Can I use it without internet?
Yes. Buyers of the Guest Welcome Book and the Guest Sign & Card Set get the same tool as a file, QR Code Maker.html, that opens with a double-click and works offline.
