How to Create a QR Code for a Google Form

As an alternative to sharing links to your Google Form, you can ask users to simply scan QR codes to access your form. This is a great way to increase engagement and response rate. Follow these steps to generate a QR code for a Google form.

Generating QR Code through a Workspace Add-on

1. To generate the QR code, you need to create a Google form first.
2. Then, go to Google Workspace Marketplace and install the QR Code Generator add-on.

   

3. Allow access to the QR Code Generator to your Google account with which you have created the form.

   

4. Refresh your existing form. An Add-ons icon will now be visible at the top of the page.

   

5. Click on the icon and select the QR Code Generator option from the list.

   

6. The QR Code Generator lets you edit the code as you want. You can customize the label’s size, font, background color, etc.

   

7. After editing, copy the QR code to the clipboard and paste it directly into the email message field or Google Docs to share.

Note: This tool allows you to generate 15 QR codes for free. Alternatively, you can use another QR code generator or subscribe to their premium plan.

Generating QR Code Online

1. Create your Google form and click on the send button.

   

2. You can shorten your form URL by clicking on the Shorten URL checkbox.

5. Click on the Generate QR code button to get your code.
6. Next, you can change your QR code with numerous options available.
