Google Forms QR Code Generator

Share Google Forms with QR Codes

Google Forms QR codes make surveys, registrations, and feedback collection effortless. QR Hideout generates static QR codes that work forever - your Google Forms URL is encoded directly into the QR code, so it will continue working even if our website goes offline. Instead of typing long URLs, users can simply scan and respond instantly from their mobile devices.

Unlike competitors who show interstitial ads after scanning, QR Hideout never shows ads - ever. Your QR code links directly to your Google Form with zero redirects, no tracking, and no analytics collection. Your respondents get a clean, immediate experience with complete privacy.

Static vs Dynamic QR Codes: What's the Difference?

Static QR Codes (QR Hideout): The Google Forms URL is encoded directly into the QR pattern. Works forever, no server required, no tracking possible. Perfect for permanent installations, printed materials, and privacy-focused data collection.

Dynamic QR Codes (Competitors): QR code points to a redirect server that then forwards to your form. Allows analytics tracking, but requires the service to stay online. Many competitors show ads on these redirect pages before users can access your form.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does QR Hideout show ads after scanning?

Never. QR Hideout generates static QR codes that go directly to your Google Form with zero ads, redirects, or tracking. Many competitors show interstitial ads before accessing content - we don't do that.

What's the difference between static and dynamic QR codes?

Static QR codes (like ours) encode the Google Forms URL directly in the code - they work forever, even offline. Dynamic QR codes require a server redirect, where competitors often show ads or track users. We use static codes for maximum privacy and reliability.

How do I get a Google Forms link for my QR code?

In Google Forms, click the "Send" button (top right), then click the link icon. Copy the shortened URL (goo.gl or forms.gle) or full URL. Paste this link into our generator. Make sure your form is set to accept responses before creating the QR code.

Will my QR code stop working if QR Hideout goes offline?

No! We generate static QR codes that encode your Google Forms URL directly into the code pattern. Your QR codes will work forever - even if our website disappears completely. This is different from dynamic QR codes that require a redirect server to stay online.

Can I track who scans my Google Forms QR code?

QR Hideout doesn't track scans - we prioritize privacy. However, Google Forms itself tracks form submissions, so you'll see responses come in. For QR-specific analytics, consider using URL shorteners with tracking before converting to QR codes, though this adds a redirect step.

Should I use the shortened Google Forms link or full URL?

Shortened links (forms.gle) create simpler QR codes that are easier to scan. Both work perfectly, but shorter URLs result in less complex QR patterns. Use whichever link Google Forms provides when you click "Send" → Link icon.

Can I edit my Google Form after creating the QR code?

Yes! The QR code links to your Google Form URL, which remains the same even when you edit questions, add sections, or modify settings. The QR code will always point to the latest version of your form without needing regeneration.

What happens if I close my Google Form to responses?

If you turn off "Accepting responses" in Google Forms, people scanning the QR code will see a message that the form is no longer accepting responses. You can reopen it anytime, and the same QR code will work again immediately.

Can I password-protect my Google Form?

Google Forms doesn't have built-in password protection, but you can require users to sign in with their Google account (under Settings → Responses → "Restrict to your organization"). For public forms, consider using a question to verify legitimate respondents.

How do I prevent duplicate responses from QR code scans?

In Google Forms settings (Responses tab), enable "Limit to 1 response" which requires users to sign in with their Google account. This prevents the same person from submitting multiple responses via the QR code.
