A Google Slides QR code is a QR code that opens a Google Slides presentation deck with a single scan. It works by encoding the public docs.google.com/presentation share URL, so viewers 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 with the ?slide=id.gxxxxx anchor. You can check sharing settings 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 profile, classroom theme or campaign identity. Place it inside a slide for live audience scanning during keynote talks, sales pitches, webinars, lectures, church sessions or medical training events. Track every scan with real-time analytics, including when it happened and which placement drove it. Every Google Slides QR is dynamic by default, so you can update the destination deck across different sessions without reprinting handouts or editing slide masters.
Set the deck to Anyone with the link, copy the share URL, customise the QR code with your logo and AI-generated designs, then place it in-slide for live scans or download it in 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 editing access or /present for direct presenter mode.
Paste the link, choose from 1200+ templates or generate QR Art to match your speaker profile, classroom theme, sales deck, investor presentation or booth setup. Add your logo and brand colours, then download in PNG, SVG or PDF.
Place the QR on your closing slide in Google Slides for live audience scanning, or export it in PNG, SVG or PDF for printed handouts. Use this sizing guide for viewing 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 timing across talks and classes, and update the destination deck any time.

To create a QR code for Google Slides, open your deck, click Share at the top right, 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 in PNG, SVG or PDF. You can place the QR on your closing slide for live scanning or print it on handouts. The Google Slides Help explains the sharing options.
To add a QR code to a slide, first generate it outside Google Slides, then insert it as an image. Copy your deck’s share URL, paste it into QR Code AI, customise the design and download 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 of 2 inches or 192 px so people can scan it easily from their seats. A dynamic QR code also lets you update the deck later without inserting 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 templates, then download it in PNG, SVG or PDF without watermarks. Most Google Slides QR codes are dynamic by default, so the destination can still be updated after printing, and each scan can be tracked in your dashboard with country, device, browser and timestamp data.
For back-of-room scanning, a 1-inch QR usually works from 5 feet, 2-inch from 10 feet, 3-inch from 15 feet and 4-inch from 20 feet. In conference rooms with seating depth of 30 to 50 ft, place the QR at around 6 to 10 inches on the closing slide. Test it from the last row before presenting so you can confirm the camera locks focus within about 1 second on both iPhone and Android devices.
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 post-event version for offline reading. Many speakers use both: a Slides QR for live in-room scanning, and a PDF QR on printed handouts for the archive copy.
