Google Form QR Code

A Google Form QR code opens your form when someone scans it, so people can answer from a poster, a class handout or a table card without typing a link. The code only stores the form's link. Edit the questions and the link stays the same. Build a new form and it gets a new link, and a plain code keeps opening the old one. A code you can repoint keeps every printed copy working.

Which one do you need

  • One form, one use: a free code does the job. Chrome can make one for any page, and the steps are below.
  • Printed in batches, or a form you rebuild each term or event: $49 once per code, no renewal.

How to make a QR code for a Google Form

  1. 1

    Copy the form link

    Open your form and click Share (or Published once it is live), then Copy responder link. Google also offers a Shorten URL box that gives a shorter link, which is easier to scan.

  2. 2

    Create a code that points to it

    Make a Website URL code and paste the form link as the destination. For a free one, open the form link in Chrome, choose More, then Cast, save, and share, then Create QR code, and download it.

  3. 3

    Download and print

    Download the code as SVG or PNG. Put it on a poster, handout or table card, and scan the proof with your own phone before the print run.

  4. 4

    Swap the form when you need to

    Next term's sign-up, a new event or a rebuilt form has a new link. Edit the destination and every printed code follows.

Where a Google Form code earns its place

Forms get rebuilt more often than the sheets they are printed on. A code you can repoint keeps the paper useful for longer.

Classes and handouts

Attendance, feedback and sign-up forms are often rebuilt each term. The same printed sheet can point to the new form.

Clubs and societies

A membership or event form on the notice board. Change the destination when the form changes, not the board.

Event posters and table cards

RSVPs and registrations. Once the event is over, point the poster at a thank-you page.

Shops and local services

Enquiry, feedback and order forms at the counter or on a leaflet, kept up to date without reprinting.

Check the form before you print

Open the form link in a private browser window and submit a test answer. A form that asks people to sign in, or is limited to your organisation, will stop everyone else. Then scan the printed proof with a phone and fill it in from there.

Make it easy to scan

Print the code at least 2 x 2 cm, keep strong contrast and leave a blank margin around it. Add a few words next to it, such as "Scan to fill in the form", so people know what it does.

Google Form QR code questions

Copy the form's responder link, create a Website URL code with that link as the destination, then download and print it. Anyone who scans it opens your form.
