Free Google Form QR Code Generator

Make a QR code for your Google Form

This Google Form QR code generator turns your form's link into a code people scan to open the form on their phone. Use it for sign-up sheets, RSVPs, event check-in, class quizzes, order forms and surveys.

The code is static and free, and it never expires. It opens your form for as long as the form is published and accepting responses, so the 3 steps below matter more than the code itself.

Get the right link from Google Forms

1. Publish the form: click Publish at the top right. Google keeps an unpublished form closed, even to people who have its link.
2. Choose who can respond: under General access, pick anyone with the link when strangers will scan it. A form shared only with your school or company asks everyone else to sign in.
3. Copy the responder link: click Published or Share, then Copy responder link. Tick Shorten URL for a forms.gle link.

Skip the address in your browser bar while you edit the form. It ends in /edit and opens the editor, which asks scanners for access they do not have. A responder link contains /viewform, or starts with forms.gle when shortened.

Test it the way a stranger sees it

• Open it signed out: scan the code with a phone signed out of your Google account, or open the link in a private browser window.
• Check the sign-in settings: Limit to 1 response makes every respondent sign in to a Google account. Turn it off for a public sign-up sheet, or say on the print that a Google sign-in is needed.
• Send a test response: then delete it in the Responses tab, so your count starts at zero.
• Scan from where people stand: try 2 phones, at the distance and in the light of the real spot.

Keep the form open while the code is out

A printed code keeps working, but it opens the form in whatever state the form is in. 2 settings decide what a scanner sees:

• Accepting responses: switch this off in the Responses tab and scanners see a closed notice instead of your questions. Add a short message for respondents, so late scanners know what happened and where to go.
• Published: unpublishing a form closes it to everyone with the link, including every printed code.

Editing questions, the title or the theme keeps the same link, so you can fix a typo after printing. A copy of the form is a new form with a new link, and the printed code keeps opening the old one.

When a dynamic code is worth it

A static code holds 1 form link forever. That suits a form you keep all year, such as a contact form or a standing survey. A dynamic code is worth it when the form changes after printing:

• A new form each term or season: point the same printed code at next term's sign-up form.
• Repeat events: a code on a banner or a table stand opens this month's RSVP form, then next month's.
• A form you may rebuild: when you copy a form to start fresh, repoint the code instead of reprinting.
• Scan counts: Google Forms counts responses. A dynamic code also counts scans, so you see how many people opened the form and left without submitting.

A free QRplify account adds 1 dynamic QR code with 1,000 scans a month, and it never pauses. The static code above needs no account at all.

Where Google Form QR codes work best

• Classrooms: quizzes, exit tickets and parent sign-up sheets on a slide or a handout.
• Events: RSVPs on invitations, check-in at the door, a survey on the way out.
• Shops and cafés: order forms, waitlists and feedback on a counter card or a receipt.
• Clubs and offices: volunteer rotas, room bookings and member sign-ups on a notice board.

3. Download: PNG or JPG for screens and slides, SVG for print at any size.
4. Test before you print: scan it signed out on 2 phones.

Publish your Google Form QR code

Publish the form, copy the responder link, paste it above and scan test signed out. Export SVG for print, or a PNG for slides and screens.
