Navigate to your Form. You can use the link that generates when you click or tap Send or you can click the eye icon to open a preview of your Google Form.
- This is the easiest solution if you're linking to just the content on a website instead of including contact information or text. The QR codes generated this way are static, so you can't track how well the QR codes are doing, nor can you customize how they look.
- All QR codes generated with Chrome have a tiny T-Rex in the middle.
- You can create QR codes in Chrome using the desktop web browser on Mac and Windows as well as by using the mobile app for iPhone, iPad, and Android.
-
Right-click the page (desktop) or tap (mobile). If you're on a Mac, use Ctrl-click to right-click. A menu will appear with more options at either your cursor (desktop) or at the bottom of your screen (mobile).
- For a desktop browser, you can also click the Share icon in your address bar (or to the right of it) to open the menu. [1] X Research source
-
Click Create QR Code for this page (desktop) or QR Code (mobile). You'll see this option next to an icon of a QR code. If you're on a smartphone, you may need to scroll to the right inside the menu to see this option.
-
Click or tap Download . The QR Code will generate and show up in a tile so you can preview it before continuing.
- Once the code is downloaded to your computer, phone, or tablet, you can share it with other people.
