Google Forms has 47.24% of the market share in the survey tools category, according to the 6sense database. 

Unfortunately, the use of Google Forms is limited to digital space because users find it tedious to type in the URL (web link) they see in physical settings. 

The solution exists. Google Form links can be converted into QR codes, which can easily be placed on physical mediums like billboards, brochures, flyers, kiosks, etc. However, only a few people are aware of this, as only 1.02% of Google Forms are accessed through QR codes. 

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the step-by-step process to create a Google Form QR code, which you can use to collect feedback, RSVPs, or leads. Let’s start with the basics.

What is a Google Form QR Code? 

A Google Form QR code is a type of scannable qr code that links directly to a Google Form. When someone scans the QR code with their smartphone or tablet, they are instantly taken to the Google Form without the need to type in a URL manually.

QR codes for Google Forms are often used to simplify access to forms in physical or digital spaces. They are a convenient tool for gathering responses for surveys, event registrations, feedback forms, or any other type of data collection.

For example, the University of Kansas, one of the oldest universities in the United States, uses Google Forms QR codes for event registrations.

What information can be shown in a Google Form QR Code?

You can provide the following information when someone scans a Google Form QR code:

  • Direct link to your Google Form for easy access to surveys, feedback forms, event registrations, or other purposes.
  • Form title or purpose that users see upon opening the form, such as “Customer Satisfaction Survey,” “Net Promoter Score (NPS) Survey,’ or “Event RSVP.”
  • Embedded questions and input fields for users to complete directly after scanning the code.
  • Custom call-to-action messages (if generated dynamically), like “Scan to Share Your Feedback” or “Join Our Event.”

How to create a Google Form QR Code

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to create a Google Form QR code.

Then, open the Google form for which you want to create a QR code. Click on the link icon (a chain symbol) to generate a shareable URL.

Frequently asked questions

Are there any applications within the Google Workspace that can generate QR codes?

Yes, there are plenty of apps with Google Workspace Marketplace that can generate QR codes for Google Forms and other Google Services. You can open the Google Workspace Marketplace and type “QR code generator” into the search bar. You’ll find a list of tools sorted by the number of downloads. However, not all apps are free and have usage limits. You can explore apps beyond Google Workspace if you’re looking for free QR code generation tools.

Can I customize the QR Code for my Google Form?

Yes, many QR code generators offer customization options, such as adding your logo, changing colors, or modifying patterns to align with your brand or campaign theme. You can try it out for free with The QR Code Generator.

Where can I use Google Form QR Codes?

You can display Google Form QR codes on posters, flyers, business cards, product packaging, presentation slides, and digital platforms like emails and social media. It’ll make it easier for your customers to open the form and submit their responses in just a scan.

Are Google Form QR Codes free to create?

Basic QR code generation is free on many platforms. However, advanced features like customization, analytics tracking, and dynamic QR codes may require a subscription or payment.

Do Google Form QR Codes expire?

Static QR codes (directly linked to your Google Form) do not expire. However, if you’re using a dynamic QR code with tracking or customizations, its availability depends on the service provider’s terms.

What happens if I update my Google Form content?

If you make changes to your Google Form (like adding, removing, or rewording questions), the QR code will still work as long as the form’s URL remains unchanged. Any updates made to the form will reflect immediately. 

Can I track who scans my Google Form QR Code?

By using dynamic QR code generators, you can track the number of scans, locations, and even devices used to access your form. This is helpful for analyzing audience engagement.

How do I test my Google Form QR Code?

Use your smartphone’s camera or a QR code scanner to test the code. Ensure it redirects to the correct Google Form and loads without issues.

Do respondents need to Sign up for Gmail to access the form?

Yes, but only if the form creator has restricted access to Google account users. If the form requires sign-in, respondents must have a Google account to fill it out. However, if the form is set to “Anyone with the link can respond,” no sign-up or Gmail account is needed.

Which form builder apps can I use to attach a QR code?

If you’re facing limitations with Google Forms and looking for other form builder apps to attach a QR code, you can try: SurveyMonkey, Typeform, JotForm, or Microsoft Forms
