    How to make a QR code for your class

    1. Copy the linkA Google Form, a video, a worksheet PDF, a Classroom or Drive link. Make sure it is shared with "anyone with the link" if students aren't signed in.
    2. Paste it and add a labelUse the frame text to say what the code does: "HOMEWORK WEEK 3" or "QUIZ: FRACTIONS".
    3. Download and printPNG for worksheets and slides; PDF for posters. Our templates include sticker sheets for books.
    4. Test on a student deviceScan it with a phone that is not signed in to your account to check access.

    Ideas for the classroom

    • Homework and worksheets: a code on the printed sheet that opens the answer key, an explainer video or extra practice.
    • Quizzes and exit tickets: a Google Form QR code on the board for a 2-minute check at the end of a lesson.
    • Reading corners: a code inside a book that opens an audio version or a related video.
    • Science labs: a code on equipment that shows safety steps. Use a text QR code so it works without WiFi.
    • Language learning: codes on classroom objects that show the word in another language.
    • Treasure hunts: clues as text codes around the school ground.

    Children's privacy comes first

    QR codes in schools are seen by many people. Follow a few rules:

    1. Never put personal data (names, phone numbers, marks, addresses) in a code that is printed or shared publicly.
    2. Check sharing settings before printing a Drive or Docs link. "Anyone with the link" means anyone who scans the code.
    3. Use official accounts for payments and parent groups, so families know the code is genuine.
    4. Teach students to check links before they open them. It is a useful lesson in online safety; our guide How to spot a fake QR code works as a classroom resource.

    Library and asset labels

    For books, lab equipment and devices, a barcode or small code on a label speeds up check-out and stock-taking. Use Code 128 barcodes if your library software expects barcodes, or QR codes that open an inventory form. The bulk generator makes hundreds of labels from a spreadsheet and prints them on Avery label sheets.

    When students don't have phones

    In many classrooms, students don't carry phones. Codes still help: the teacher scans from the projector screen, the class tablet scans at a station, and parents scan codes on circulars at home. For slides, make the code large (at least a quarter of the slide height) so it can be scanned from the back of the room.

    • Worksheets: 2.5 cm is enough for a phone held over the page.
    • Classroom posters and notice boards: 10 cm or more.
    • Photocopies lose contrast; test a copied sheet, not just the original printout.

    Frequently asked questions

    Are these QR codes free for schools?

    Yes. No sign-up, no watermark, no scan limits and the codes never expire.

    Can I link to a Google Form or Google Drive file?

    Yes. Paste the share link and check that it is open to anyone with the link if students aren't signed in.

    Do students need an app?

    No. Phone and tablet cameras read QR codes directly.

    Can I use QR codes for fee payments?

    Yes, with a UPI code for the school's official account. Print the account name so parents can check it in their UPI app.

    Is it safe to share student information in a QR code?

    No. Never put personal data in a printed code; link to a page that requires sign-in instead.

    Can I make codes for every book in the library?

    Yes. Use the bulk generator with a spreadsheet of book IDs and print them on label sheets.
