How to Get a QR Code from Google Form: A Step-by-Step Guide

In today’s digital age, QR codes have become an essential tool for quickly sharing links, surveys, and forms. If you're using Google Forms to collect data, feedback, or registrations, generating a QR code can simplify how you distribute your form—no more long URLs or complicated sharing methods. In this blog post, I’ll walk you through how to get a QR code for your Google Form, plus introduce you to an exciting tool called Formswrite.com that can help you create forms from Google Docs with just one click.

How to Get a QR Code from Google Form: Step-by-Step

Step 1: Create Your Google Form

Start by creating your form in Google Forms. You can access it through your Google Drive or by visiting forms.google.com. Design your form by adding questions, setting preferences, and customizing it to fit your needs.

Step 2: Get the Shareable Link for Your Form

Once your form is ready, click the Send button at the top right corner of the Google Forms editor. Then, choose the link icon (the chain link symbol). This will generate a shareable URL for your form.

Step 3: Shorten the URL (Optional)

Google Forms gives you an option to shorten the link. This can make your URL easier to share and scan via QR code. Simply check the box that says "Shorten URL" before copying the link.

Step 4: Generate a QR Code Using a QR Code Generator

Google Forms does not currently generate QR codes natively. But don’t worry — you can use any free QR code generator online. Here’s how:

1. Go to a trusted QR code generator website.

2. Paste the Google Form’s URL into the field.

3. Customize the QR code style if the tool allows it.

4. Click Generate and download your QR code image.

Step 5: Share Your QR Code

Now that you have your QR code, you can include it in emails, printed flyers, presentations, or anywhere else you want your audience to access the form quickly and easily.
