Free Location QR Code Generator

A geo QR code holds a latitude and longitude. Scanning offers to open the point in the phone's map app. No permission and no account is needed to create it.

What should the code do?

Open a map pin.

01

Let’s make your QR code.

Fill in your details. Your preview updates as you type.

Your details. A little scanning magic.
02

Make it yours optional

Your colours, your logo, your finishing touch.

Start from a design template (optional)

A template only sets colours, module shape, error-correction level and the wording around the code. Whatever you have typed stays exactly as it is, and you can change every part afterwards.

Colours & pattern (optional)
Code colour
Keep a strong contrast, then test a scan.
Background
Keep a strong contrast, then test a scan.
Module shape

Higher levels recover from more damage but make the code denser. A centred logo needs Q or H.

Logo (optional)

Upload your logo

Add your brand to the centre of your QR code, or place it above or below. Always test the final code before printing.

Optional

PNG, JPG or WebP · Up to 2 MB · Stays on your device

Caption under the code & call-to-action (optional)

Printed below the symbol. Long text wraps onto up to four lines.

Captions and call-to-action bars are drawn outside the code, so the four-module quiet zone stays clear. Every download contains exactly the artwork shown in the preview.

How to make this code

  1. 1

    Find the coordinates in any map app — long-press the exact spot and copy the numbers.

  2. 2

    Enter latitude between -90 and 90 and longitude between -180 and 180. Negative values are valid.

  3. 3

    Scan the result and check the pin lands where you intended, not just in the right street.

Example: directions to the correct entrance

Use the latitude and longitude of the entrance customers should reach, rather than the centre of a large building or campus. A location code prepares a geographic link for a compatible maps app. Check the position yourself before printing: swapping latitude and longitude, or omitting a minus sign, can point to a completely different place.

Scan the finished code on the phones your visitors use and confirm that the map pin lands on the intended street or entrance. The maps application decides which navigation options and routes to offer. The QR code does not guarantee parking, road access or an accessible entrance, so put any essential arrival instructions in readable text nearby.

A location pin and a Google review link have different purposes. If you want visitors to see a named business listing or leave a review, use the appropriate Google Maps or review-page URL in the URL generator. QR Shops can show an address, a map link and a separate review button together.

Check the exported file before printing

Download the format you will actually use, then scan that exported file. Confirm the destination or decoded content, rather than only checking that the scanner recognises a square. A successful preview does not tell you whether a printed copy will stay readable after resizing, lamination or placement behind glass.

Keep the light border around the symbol clear and use strong contrast between the code and its background. If you add a logo, test again with the logo in place. Avoid stretching the image or cropping its edges to fit a design. Print one proof at the final size and scan it from the distance customers will use, in the lighting where it will be displayed.

Use the QR size calculator to plan the physical size, the printing guide for material and export advice, or the scanner to inspect an image. If a code fails, try a larger size and a simpler dark-on-light design before printing a batch.

Keep a copy of the final image and the details you encoded with your print artwork. Give the file a recognisable name so you do not accidentally reuse an older code when reordering signs or business cards. After a reprint, scan one of the new copies again.

Frequently asked questions

Why use coordinates instead of a map link?

Coordinates never expire and do not depend on one map provider. A shared map link can change form or stop resolving.

How precise should the coordinates be?

Five decimal places is about a metre — far more than enough. Fewer than four places can put the pin on the wrong side of a building.

Which download format is best for printing?

SVG is a true vector file: a printer or designer can scale it to any size without losing edge quality, so it is the best thing to hand to a print shop. The PDF here places a high-resolution image of the same artwork on the paper size you choose, which suits home and office printing at that size. PNG is for screens and for systems that only accept images. Whichever you pick, print one copy at the final size and scan that copy yourself before ordering a batch — no format can guarantee a scan on a given printer, material or light.
