A Google Slides QR code is a QR code that opens a Google Slides presentation deck with a single scan. It encodes the public docs.google.com/presentation share URL, so your audience lands on the deck in /edit, /present or /preview mode on iOS, Android or any modern browser. The same setup works for a presentation QR, a slide deck QR or a deep link to a specific slide using the ?slide=id.gxxxxx anchor. You can check sharing settings in the Google Slides Help or the Google Workspace learning centre.
Add your logo, brand colours and AI-designed pixel styling for codes that match your speaker identity, classroom theme or campaign look. Place the QR directly on a slide for live audience scanning during keynote talks, TEDx sessions, sales presentations, investor decks, trade shows, webinars, lectures, church talks or medical education events. Track every scan with real-time analytics, including when it happened and where it was placed. Every Google Slides QR is dynamic by default, so you can update the destination deck for future sessions without reprinting materials or changing slide masters.
Set the deck to Anyone with the link, copy the share URL, customise the QR code with your logo and AI pixel styling, then place it on a slide for live scanning or download it as PNG, SVG or PDF for printed handouts.
Open the deck, click Share, then set General access to Anyone with the link can View, or Comment if needed. Copy the docs.google.com/presentation share URL that the QR will encode. Use /edit for an editing handoff or /present for direct presenter mode.
Paste the link, choose from 1200+ templates or generate QR Art to match your speaker identity, classroom theme, sales presentation, investor deck or trade show stand. Add your logo and brand colours, then download it as PNG, SVG or PDF.
Place the QR on the closing slide in Google Slides for live audience scanning, or export it as PNG, SVG or PDF for printed handouts. Size it for distance: 1in = 5ft, 2in = 10ft, 3in = 15ft, 4in = 20ft. Check contrast on dark slides before presenting from the back row.
Turn any Slides URL into a one-scan deck entry, add your logo for instant recognition, track scan volume and timing across talks and lessons, and update the destination deck whenever needed.

Customise your Slides QR
A Slides QR opens a presentation deck for presenter mode or live audience scanning, while a Docs QR opens an editable text-first document with comments. Use Slides for presentations and Docs for collaborative notes.
Open the live document
A Slides QR opens one deck, while a Drive QR opens a browsable folder of supporting files. Use Slides for the keynote and Drive for the full speaker resource library with case studies.
Open the resource folder
A Slides QR opens the live editable deck for presenter mode, while a PDF QR delivers a static post-event snapshot for a printable handout or later download.
Host the exported deck
A Slides QR points to a docs.google.com/presentation deep link with permission-based access, while a URL QR opens any standard external destination in the default browser.
Open a standard webpage
A Slides QR opens the deck for review, while an email QR opens a prefilled compose window for written speaker outreach with a structured subject line and message body.
Create an email QR
A Slides QR opens the deck, while a vCard QR saves the speaker’s full contact card to the address book in one tap. Share the deck for review, then save the contact for follow-up.
Save speaker contactAdding QR codes to Google Slides decks and handouts.
Open your Google Slides deck, click Share in the top-right corner, and set General access to Anyone with the link can View. Copy the docs.google.com/presentation share URL, paste it into QR Code AI, customise the design with your logo and brand colours, then download it as PNG, SVG or PDF. Add the QR image to your closing slide for live audience scanning, or print it on speaker handouts. The Google Slides Help explains the available permission settings.
Create the QR code first, then insert it as an image. Copy your deck’s share URL by choosing Share, setting access to Anyone with the link can View, and selecting Copy link. Paste it into QR Code AI, customise the design, and download it as PNG. In Google Slides, choose Insert, then Image, then Upload from computer. Place it on your closing slide at a minimum of 2 inches, or 192 px, so people can scan it from anywhere in the room. A dynamic QR code lets you update the destination deck later without adding a new image.
Yes. Google Slides QR codes are free on QR Code AI. You can generate one, customise it with your logo, brand colours and AI-designed pixel styling, then download it as PNG, SVG or PDF without watermarks. Most Google Slides QR codes are dynamic by default, which means the destination can still be updated after printing and every scan appears in your dashboard with country, device, browser and timestamp data. That makes it useful for measuring reach without reprinting materials.
A 1-inch QR code usually scans reliably from 5 feet, 2 inches from 10 feet, 3 inches from 15 feet and 4 inches from 20 feet. In conference rooms with seating depths of 30 to 50 feet, place the QR at 6 to 10 inches wide on the closing slide. Test it from the back row before presenting so you can confirm that both iPhone and Android cameras lock focus within 1 second.
Use a Google Slides QR code when people should open the live deck for presenter mode, comments or later updates after the event. Use a PDF QR code when people should download a fixed post-event version for offline reading. Many speakers use both: a Slides QR code for live in-room scanning and a PDF QR code on the printed handout for the archived copy.
