Google QR Code Generator: How to Make a Code in Chrome

The Google QR code generator covered here is a feature inside Chrome for sharing a web page. You can use it for a website, an event registration page, or a published Google Form. You do not need a browser extension. Choose the instructions for the device where you are making the code.

Make a QR code in Chrome on a computer

1. Open Chrome and visit the exact page you want people to reach.
2. Open More in the top-right corner.
3. Choose Cast, save, and share, then Create QR code.
4. Select Download to keep the image, or have another device scan the code on screen.

Use the menu path above if an older tutorial tells you to look for a QR icon beside the address bar. Before sharing, scan the result and check that it opens the intended page.

Make one on Android

1. Open the destination page in the Chrome app.
2. Tap More beside the toolbar, then Share.
3. Select QR Code and follow the options to share or download it.

Some Android layouts also show a Share shortcut beside the address bar. See Google's Android sharing guide for the documented controls.

Make one on iPhone or iPad

1. Open the page in Chrome, rather than Safari or the Google search app.
2. Tap Share near the address bar, then Create a QR Code.
3. Tap Share below the code and choose an available destination.

The iPhone sharing flow differs from the desktop Download button. Follow Google's iPhone and iPad instructions rather than looking for the desktop menu.

Check access before turning a private link into a code

A QR code does not give visitors permission to open a restricted document. Google explains that private files require an authorized account in its file access guide. Test the destination while signed out, or with an account matching your audience. A page that opens for you may still ask your customer to sign in or request access.

For Google Forms, use the responder link

Publish the form and confirm who is allowed to respond. Copy Copy responder link from Preview, Published, or Share, then open that link in Chrome before generating the QR code. Do not make the code from your editing page. Google also says Limit to 1 response requires respondents to sign in. These settings are explained in Google's form publishing guide.

For a public signup sheet, test the whole process from another device: open the form, enter a sample response, and confirm submission. Fix the form's access settings if the QR scans but visitors cannot respond.

Choose Chrome or a customizable generator

Chrome is a practical choice for quickly sharing the page already open in your browser. If you are preparing a flyer or a branded card, our URL QR code generator gives you controls for colors, patterns, and a center icon or logo. It also offers PNG, SVG, and JPEG downloads. Paste the same destination link; changing the design does not fix a page's permissions.

After downloading, test the actual image and a printed proof. Keep surrounding space clear and use a readable label such as "Open the registration form." Our QR printing guide covers the checks before ordering a batch. For customer reviews, start with the link in our Google review QR guide.

If Create QR code is missing

Check that you are in Chrome and following the path for your platform. On a computer, open More, Help, then About Google Chrome to check for updates; see Google's update instructions. If the control is still unavailable, copy the page link into the URL generator.
