WiFi QR code for short-term and vacation rentals
Short-term rental hosts get the same message on repeat: "What is the WiFi password?" A printed WiFi QR code answers it before it is asked. Generate the code here, drop it into your welcome book or frame it by the router, and guests connect by pointing their phone camera at it — no squinting at a long random password, no typos, no late-night messages. This works for any rental listed on platforms like Booking, Vrbo, or similar: the QR encodes your exact network name and password, so a guest who scans it joins the network in one tap. If you rotate the password between stays, regenerate the code in a few seconds and reprint the single card rather than editing a wall of instructions. Because Plinkr builds the code entirely in your browser, the password is never uploaded, logged, or stored on a server. You can generate a card for a property you manage remotely and download the image without an account.
The QR code — including the WiFi password — is built entirely in your browser and never sent to a server.
Frequently asked questions
Will guests need to install an app to scan it?
No. The built-in camera apps on modern iPhones and Android phones recognise WiFi QR codes natively. A guest opens the camera, points it at the printed code, and taps the notification that appears to join the network — no separate scanner app required.
What happens if I change the WiFi password between guests?
Generate a new code with the updated password and reprint the single card. The old printed code stops working the moment the router password changes, so replacing one card is enough — there is no list of instructions to hunt through and edit.
Is it safe to print my WiFi password as a QR code?
A QR code is just an encoded version of the same password you would otherwise write on a card, so anyone who can see the printed code can join the network — keep it inside the unit rather than in a public window. Plinkr itself never receives or stores the password; the code is built in your browser.
Should I download PNG or SVG for printing?
Use SVG when your printer or design tool supports it, because it stays sharp at any size, from a small card to a full A4 sheet. Choose PNG for quick printing or pasting into documents and messaging apps that expect a standard image file.
