Paste the review link from your Business Profile. The code is built in your browser by our own encoder, so your link is never sent to us and there is no redirect in the middle. Download an SVG, a PNG at three sizes, or a printable card.

100% risk-free. You only pay for the reviews that come down.

How do I make a QR code for Google reviews?

Open your Business Profile, choose Read reviews, then Get more reviews, and copy the link Google shows. Paste it into the box on this page. The code appears at once, and you can download it as an SVG, as a PNG, or as a card sized for a counter.

Google gives you this link in your Business Profile, under Read reviews, then Get more reviews. Paste it whole.

Both lines are optional, and both print on the card only. The code itself carries nothing but your link.

Ask every customer, not the happy ones. Sorting people by how pleased they look before you show them the code is review gating, and Google prohibits offering anything in return for a review.

Your code

Paste your review link and the code appears here.

The code is built in your browser by our own encoder, at error correction level M. Your link is never sent to us and there is no redirect in the middle, so the code keeps working for as long as your review link does.

How is this different from Google’s own QR code?

It uses the same link. Google’s help page is where you get it, and nothing here replaces that. What differs is the file you end up with.

Google says its code can only be generated on a computer browser, and that you save it by right-clicking the image. That gives you a screen-sized picture. Print it at postcard size and the edges soften, which is when a camera starts to hesitate.

This page gives you an SVG, which has no fixed size at all, PNG files at 512, 1024 and 2048 pixels, and a 4 by 6 inch card with your own heading. Everything is drawn from the link you pasted, in your browser.

What are the rules for asking with a QR code?

Show it to everyone. A code at the till, on the receipt or in the thank-you email reaches every customer. Handing it only to the ones who look pleased is review gating, and Google tells merchants not to selectively solicit positive reviews. Our guide to review gating covers what the FTC does and does not say about it.

Offer nothing for it. Google calls incentives fake engagement, and strictly prohibits them. No discount, no entry into a draw, no free shipping.

Do not ask for a star rating first. A card that says “happy? scan here” next to a complaints box is a gate with better manners. Ask for the review, and answer the bad ones in public.

For a health brand there is one more. Do not put anything on the card that would identify what a person was treated for. The card sits in public, and so does the reply you write later.

Why does it matter where the code is made?

Because a QR code is not a picture of a link. It is the link, drawn in squares. If the generator you used wrote its own domain into the code and forwarded people to you, then the code belongs to them.

That arrangement is normal in the free QR business, and it is why codes printed on menus and cards go dead. The domain lapses, the free tier ends, or a scan limit arrives. The card in your hand does not change, and it now points nowhere.

This encoder writes your link and nothing else, and it runs in your browser. If you prefer to check rather than take our word for it, scan the code with a phone and read the address before you tap.

How to make a QR code for Google reviews

To make a QR code for Google reviews, copy the review link from your Business Profile and paste it into the box above. Google publishes where that link lives on its help page.

  1. Open your Business Profile.
  2. Choose Read reviews, then Get more reviews.
  3. Copy the link Google shows you.
  4. Paste it into the box on this page.
  5. Download the SVG, a PNG or the card.

The same screen in your Business Profile is also where Google's own QR code lives.

Copy the whole link. Do not shorten it, and do not run it through a redirect service. A code that points at someone else's domain first is a code that someone else can switch off.

Before you print a hundred of them

Scan your own code with a phone camera and land on your own review form. It takes ten seconds and it is the only test that matters.

Then check the placement. Google suggests a printed code in the store, on receipts, in thank-you emails and at the end of a chat. Every one of those reaches all your customers rather than a hand-picked few, which is exactly what the platforms require.

Questions about review QR codes

A review QR code is a printed square that opens your review form when a customer points a phone camera at it. A Google one holds your Business Profile review link and nothing else. It works on a counter, a receipt, a packing slip or a thank-you card. The code only saves typing: the rules on asking for reviews still apply.

Yes, and you should start there. Your Business Profile has one under Read reviews, then Get more reviews. Two limits make people look elsewhere. Google says the code can only be generated on a computer browser, and it is saved by right-clicking the image. That leaves you a screen-sized picture rather than a file you can print large.

A QR code printed from a small image goes soft at the edges, and a soft edge is what makes a camera hesitate. This tool gives you an SVG, which has no fixed size and stays sharp at any scale. It also gives PNG files at 512, 1024 and 2048 pixels, for tools that cannot take an SVG.

No. The code is generated in your browser by our own encoder. Nothing is uploaded, and there is no account. The link does appear in the page address so you can send yourself the same code, and that address stays in your browser.

Many free generators point the code at their own domain first, then forward to yours. That code stops working if they stop paying for the domain or start charging, and by then it is printed on a thousand cards. A code made here contains your link and nothing else.

Yes. Google suggests printing it in your store, on receipts, in thank-you emails and at the end of a chat. The rule is who you show it to. Showing it only to customers who seem happy is review gating, and Google tells merchants not to selectively solicit positive reviews.

No. Google calls offering free or discounted goods or services in exchange for reviews fake engagement, and strictly prohibits it. The FTC's rule covers the same ground for US businesses. Ask for the review and leave the incentive out of it.

Level M, which can still be read when about 15% of the code is damaged or covered. That is the usual choice for print. The code has a white quiet zone around it, and you should leave that clear rather than crop to the edge of the squares.
