About QR to Sheets
QR to Sheets is a browser scanner link that writes every QR code and barcode scan into a Google Sheet you own. Nobody scanning and nobody being scanned needs an app or an account: a phone browser and the link are enough.
Written by the QR to Sheets team. Last updated .
What QR to Sheets does
An admin connects a Google Sheet once and creates a scanner link. Anyone with that link opens it in their phone browser, allows the camera, and scans. Each scan becomes a timestamped row in the Sheet, so the record lives in a spreadsheet the team already knows how to sort, filter and share.
Alongside the scanner there are three more tools: Forms, which turns each submission into a row in your Sheet; the Events add-on, which sends QR invitations from a guest list and checks guests in at the door; and a free bulk QR code generator that needs no signup.
Who uses it
The people who use QR to Sheets need a record of who or what was scanned, without turning the scanning staff into software users.
- Schools and colleges, for class attendance, open days and exam check-in.
- Event teams, for checking guests in at the door.
- Warehouses and retail, for stock counts, audits and goods received.
- Field teams, for site attendance, patrols, deliveries and inspections.

How we write our guides and comparisons
Every guide is written by the QR to Sheets team and follows the same rules, because a guide that only sells is no use to the person reading it.
- We answer the question in full, including the free route: Google Forms, Apps Script or a ready-made template. Then we say plainly where that route breaks.
- We sell one of the options we write about, and we say so on the page.
- Facts about other products are read on the vendor's own website and dated. Where a competitor is the better buy for a job, we say that too.
- Each guide shows the date it was last updated, and we revise guides when the product or a competitor changes.
Your data
Scans go into a spreadsheet you own and choose. QR to Sheets can reach only the spreadsheets you pick, not the rest of your Google Drive, and the people scanning never see the Sheet itself. You can disconnect Google at any time.
Pricing
Free for your first 300 scans, with one scanner link, one Sheet and one phone. Premium is 7 USD per registered device per month, with unlimited scans and links.
