How to Create QR Codes for Google Forms

You may have seen QR codes popping up just about everywhere recently. They’re those little squares of what look like jumbled up blocks, most often in black and white, that can be printed on just about anything. You can find them in newspapers, flyers, business cards, restaurant menus, and just about anywhere you can find printed text or images. What these codes do is provide an easy way to access a web page from a mobile device without having to type in or copy and paste a long URL address. All you have to do is open your device’s camera, hover over the code, and press the link when it shows up. These are beneficial to both the consumer and the company providing them, as they allow for easy and quick access to anything a consumer may want or a company may want to provide.

Just about any web page link can be converted into a QR code, but one of the most popular ways they’re used is to provide surveys, RSVP information, party invitations, or even just fun quizzes, all made using Google Forms. Google Forms is a free service that allows users to easily create forms that are then distributed to an audience and allows them to receive instant feedback. You may have filled out a Google form when signing up for an event or participating in a survey. If you are distributing a form made with Google Forms, it would be a good idea to use a QR code as a means of accessing the form, since they are quick and easy to access and often read with the same device that will be filling out the form.
