Google seems to have a solution for everything. If you need to write a report, Google Docs and its many features, including the voice recognition feature, are always at your disposal. If you need to conduct a survey or opinion poll to complement your research, Google Forms lets you put it together quickly. Once you’ve completed everything, you can save it all to Google Drive so you can easily access it from all your devices. You can do all this without having to install any special software on your computer, as long as you have a Google account. That’s the beauty of the Google ecosystem and the reason why so many people turn to it to organize their work and personal lives.

Not only do teachers create tests to find out if their students have actually read the text assigned to them, but researchers also collect data to support their studies. There are also many fun and creative ways to use Google Forms. For example, you can create a Harry Potter-themed digital escape room or collect RSVPs for weddings and other events. However, once you’ve completed your Google Form masterpiece, you’re faced with the dilemma of how to share it. This is where creating a code for your Google Form comes in. With a QR code linked to your Google Form, users just need to scan it with their smartphone and they’ll be taken straight to your questionnaire.
Preparing to create a QR code for a Google Form
If you haven’t already, you’ll need to create a Google Form before creating a QR code for it. You can skip this step if you’re using an existing form. Although Google Forms doesn’t offer the ability to scribble handwritten notes like Google Docs, creating a basic form is a pretty straightforward process. To get started, head to Google Forms and click the multicolored + icon to open a new form. Alternatively, you can access Google Forms from Google Drive by clicking the + New icon, scrolling down, and selecting Google Forms.

You’ll probably find it easier to create a Google Doc using the desktop website, but you can also do it from your smartphone or tablet. After you’ve completed your form, your next step is to create a QR code so you can share it. Since Google Forms doesn’t have a QR code generator built in, you’ll need to use a third-party website or app to create a code. There are a few websites that let you create QR codes for free, including Adobe Express, QR Code Generator, and Canva QR Code Generator. The steps to create a QR code are basically the same regardless of which generator you choose.
How to create a QR code for a Google Form
Once you’ve created your Google Form and selected a QR code generator, you can generate a QR code that links back to your form. When you’re done, the recipient of the form can scan the code with their iPhone or Android device and go straight to your form.

To create a QR code for a Google Form, follow these steps:
- Open the form you created and click “Send” at the top right of the screen.
- Click the link icon next to Send via to create a shareable URL.
- Click “Copy” to copy the URL.
- Enter the URL for your Google Form into the QR code generator of your choice.
- Follow the QR code generator instructions to personalize your code.
- Click “Download” to save the QR code in the desired format to your computer.
- Scan the code with your phone’s camera or a QR code scanner to make sure it’s working properly.
After you’ve generated the QR code for your form, you can share it. There are several ways to do this: you can email it, embed it on a website, print it on promotional materials, or post it on social media. Depending on which QR code generator you choose, you may be able to track and view analytics on how many times your code has been scanned for a small fee.
