Free Location QR Code Generator

Generate a QR code for any location using GPS coordinates. When scanned, it opens the exact spot in the user's preferred maps app.

0 / 900

Local uploads stay in your browser and only appear on the printed card. The QR data uses the URL above.

More fields (optional)

Address

Social profiles

Tip: right-click any spot on Google Maps and copy the coordinates

A red Swiss flag is automatically overlaid on the QR — required by Swiss banks.

Paste a BOLT11 invoice (lnbc...) or a Lightning address. We prefix with the lightning: URI scheme so any Lightning wallet can scan it.

Compatible with Google Authenticator, Authy, 1Password, Bitwarden, and any standard TOTP app.

Encodes the entire authorized_keys line. Scan to copy/paste the key onto a new machine.

For very long keys, use rMQR landscape or split into multiple QRs. Standard QR caps around ~2KB.

The official WireGuard mobile apps scan these directly. Never include your private key in a printed QR — only digital sharing.

GS1 Digital Link is the modern web-friendly alternative to the EAN-13 barcode for retail products. Resolver domain defaults to id.gs1.org but you can use your own.

Paste the share link from the Spotify app, or just the ID. We build the open.spotify.com URL automatically.

Format depends on platform — for Mastodon use @user@instance, for Bluesky use handle.bsky.social, for Nostr paste the npub key.

Geo URI (RFC 5870) opens directly in any maps app on the device — Google Maps, Apple Maps, OsmAnd, etc. — without picking a vendor.

Standard BitTorrent magnet link. Scanned by any BitTorrent client that supports URI scheme handlers.

Paste a full RFC 5545 iCalendar payload — supports multiple events, alarms, recurring rules. Most calendar apps import the QR directly.

Local uploads stay in your browser and only appear on the printed card. MeCard QR data has no photo field.

MeCard is a simpler alternative to vCard, preferred by some Android devices

Micro QR capacity: 35 digits, 21 uppercase alphanumeric, or ~15 bytes (lowercase/URLs). Best for short codes, serial numbers, and IDs. For URLs, use standard QR instead.

Most phone cameras cannot scan Micro QR codes. This format requires specialized industrial scanners (e.g. Scandit, Cognex). Use standard QR for general-purpose scanning.

Rectangular Micro QR — a narrow, wide format ideal for test tubes, wristbands, and ticket strips. Up to 361 characters.

Most phone cameras cannot scan rMQR codes. This format requires specialized industrial scanners. Use standard QR for general-purpose scanning.

Renders behind the QR at reduced opacity. Auto-forces EC=H so the QR still scans through the photo.

Batch Generation

Upload a CSV to generate up to 500 QR codes in a single batch. Each row becomes its own QR — pick a template or override 21 properties on a per-row basis: colors, frames, dot/eye/eyeball styles, gradients, transparency, size, error correction, format, built-in logo, and more.

21 columns: type, data, filename, frametext, frame, template, fgcolor, bgcolor, size, ec, dotstyle, eyestyle, format, logo, gradient, g2, gtype, gangle, transparent, eyeball, eyecolor. Only type and data are required. Use | to separate fields inside data (e.g. ssid|password|WPA).

All 20 QR types supported, including URL, WiFi, vCard, MeCard, Email, SMS, Event, Location, UPI, SEPA, PayPal, Crypto, Micro QR and rMQR. Download the sample CSV to see every column, all 40 templates, 11 frame styles, and the 12 built-in logos in action.

Save the entire QR — type, all field values, style, frame, logo, business card design — as a single .qr.json file. Load it later to recreate everything in one click.

How Location QR Codes Work

A location QR code encodes GPS coordinates (latitude and longitude) in a geo: URI format. When scanned, the user's device opens their maps app — Google Maps, Apple Maps, Waze, or whatever they have installed — and shows the exact location. This works without an internet connection for displaying the coordinates, though the map tiles need connectivity.

How to Create a Location QR Code

  1. Enter the latitude and longitude of your location. Tip: right-click any spot on Google Maps and copy the coordinates.
  2. Customize the design with your preferred style, colors, or logo.
  3. Download and print your QR code for signs, directions, or marketing materials.

Where to Use Location QR Codes

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find GPS coordinates for a location?

The easiest way: open Google Maps, right-click (or long-press on mobile) on any spot, and the coordinates appear. Copy and paste them into the latitude and longitude fields. They look like 36.1437, -115.1597.

Which maps app opens when someone scans?

The QR code uses the standard geo: URI format. The user's default maps app opens — Google Maps on most Android devices, Apple Maps on iPhones. Users who have other apps like Waze may be given a choice.

Does this work offline?

The QR code stores the coordinates locally, so it can be scanned offline. However, the maps app needs an internet connection to display the map tiles and calculate directions.

Should I use coordinates or a Google Maps URL?

Coordinates are more reliable. A geo: URI works with any maps app the user has installed and never goes stale. A Google Maps URL forces the user into Google Maps specifically, won't work for users without Google services (e.g., Huawei devices), and can break if Google changes its URL scheme. Use coordinates unless you need a specific Google feature like Street View links.

How precise should the coordinates be?

Six decimal places gives ~10 cm precision, which is more than enough for any human-scale use. Five decimal places (~1 m) is plenty for street addresses. Don't truncate to fewer than four decimals (~10 m) for urban locations or you might land on the wrong building. We accept any precision — just paste what Google Maps gives you.

Can I include a place name or address?

The geo: URI format we use only carries coordinates, not text labels. The maps app shows whatever it knows about that spot from its own database. If you want a specific place name, screenshot the maps app pin and pair it with the QR code visually, or use a URL QR code that includes the place name as a parameter.

What about indoor locations or specific floors?

GPS coordinates only describe latitude and longitude — not altitude or floor. The user lands on the building footprint and has to find the specific room or floor themselves. For indoor wayfinding (malls, hospitals, museums), use a URL QR code that links to a venue map or wayfinding app instead.
