A Google Slides QR code is a QR code that opens a Google Slides presentation deck with a single scan. It stores the public docs.google.com/presentation share URL, so viewers can land 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 permissions in the Google Slides Help or the Google Workspace learning center.
Add your logo, brand colours and AI-generated designs so the code matches your speaker identity, classroom theme or campaign look. You can place it directly inside a slide for live audience scans during keynote sessions, sales presentations, webinars, lectures, church talks or training events. Track every scan with real-time analytics, including when it happened and where the code was placed. Every Google Slides QR is dynamic by default, so you can update the destination deck later without reprinting handouts or changing slide masters.
Set the deck to Anyone with the link, copy the share URL, customise the QR code with logo and AI-generated designs, then place it in a slide or download PNG, SVG or PDF for print.
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 store. Use /edit for an editing handoff or /present for direct presenter mode.
Paste the link, choose from 1200+ templates or generate QR Art designs that fit your speaker identity, classroom theme, sales deck, investor presentation or expo booth. Add your logo and brand colours, then download it in PNG, SVG or PDF.
Place the QR on the closing slide in Google Slides for live audience scanning, or export PNG, SVG or PDF for printed handouts. Use this sizing guide 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 stronger recognition, track scan volume and timing across talks and classrooms, and update the destination deck whenever needed.
See when each scan happens and which keynote or classroom placement it came from. Real-time dashboards help speakers, lecturers, sales teams, investors and event organisers measure engagement clearly.

Turn long docs.google.com/presentation URLs into custom short links. Test different deck versions for each event or academic term, and retire links safely once the campaign ends.

Customise your Slides QR
A Slides QR opens a presentation deck for present mode or live audience access, while a Docs QR opens an editable text-focused document with comments. Use Slides for decks and Docs for collaborative notes.
Open the live doc
A Slides QR opens one deck, while a Drive QR opens a browsable folder of supporting files. Use Slides for the presentation and Drive for the full speaker resource folder with case studies and extras.
Open the resource folder
A Slides QR opens the live deck for presentation use, while a PDF QR opens a fixed post-event version that people can download later as a printable handout or archive copy.
Host the exported deck
A Slides QR points to a docs.google.com/presentation deep link with sharing permissions, while a URL QR can open any general web destination in the default browser.
Open a generic webpage
A Slides QR opens the deck for review, while an email QR opens a prefilled compose screen for speaker outreach with a ready subject and message for proper follow-up.
Build an email QR
A Slides QR opens the deck, while a vCard QR saves the speaker’s full contact details to the phone address book in one tap. Share the deck for review and save the contact for follow-up.

To create a QR code for Google Slides, open your 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 URL, paste it into QR Code AI, customise the design with your logo and brand colours, then download it in PNG, SVG or PDF. You can place the QR on the final slide for live scanning or print it on handouts. The Google Slides Help explains the permission options.
To add a QR code to a slide, first generate it outside Google Slides and download it as an image. Copy the deck’s share link, paste it into QR Code AI, customise the design, and save it as PNG. In Google Slides, go to Insert, then Image, then Upload from computer. Place the QR on the closing slide at a minimum size of 2 inches so people can scan it easily from their seats. A dynamic QR code lets you update the deck later without inserting a new image.
Yes. A Google Slides QR code is free on QR Code AI. You can generate it, customise it with your logo, brand colours and AI-designed templates, and download it in PNG, SVG or PDF without watermarks. Most Google Slides QR codes are dynamic by default, so the destination can be updated even after printing. Each scan can also be tracked in your dashboard with country, device, browser and timestamp details, which is useful for measuring reach.
For back-of-room scanning, size matters a lot. A 1-inch QR code usually scans from 5 feet, 2 inches from 10 feet, 3 inches from 15 feet and 4 inches from 20 feet. In conference rooms with seating depth of 30 to 50 feet, placing the code at 6 to 10 inches on the closing slide is a safer choice. Always test from the last row before presenting so phone cameras lock focus quickly on both iPhone and Android.
Use a Google Slides QR when people should open the live deck for present mode, comments or later updates after the event. Use a PDF QR when people should download a fixed version for offline reading or record keeping. Many presenters use both formats together: a Slides QR for live in-room access and a PDF QR on printed handouts for the archived copy.
