Location QR code generator
A location QR code opens an exact spot in the scanner's maps app — Google Maps on Android, Apple Maps on iPhone — ready for one-tap directions. Enter latitude and longitude below and download a print-ready code in seconds. It's free, needs no account, and never expires.

01
Find your coordinates
Open Google Maps, right-click the exact spot, and the coordinates appear at the top of the menu. Click them to copy. On mobile, long-press the spot and the coordinates show in the search bar.
02
Paste latitude and longitude
Latitude comes first, longitude second — Google Maps copies them in that order. Six decimal places pins a spot to about 10 centimeters. The code uses the geo: standard, so any phone understands it.
03
Download and post it
SVG scales to any print size; PNG goes up to 4096px. Print it on the parking sign, the trailhead board, or the delivery instructions card. Scan it once yourself before printing a hundred.
Worth knowing
Coordinates beat addresses
An address resolves to a building's front door. Coordinates point at the actual gate, lot entrance, or trailhead. For anywhere a street address misleads drivers, use coordinates.
Prefer a Google Maps link instead?
A geo: code lets each phone open its default maps app. If you specifically want Google Maps — with your business listing, photos, and reviews — copy the Share link from Google Maps and paste it into the URL generator.
Add a one-line label
Print "Scan for directions" under the code. Scans go up when people know what they're getting. Nobody scans a bare square on a fence post.
If your link will change
Static location codes are perfect for fixed spots. But if the spot might move — overflow parking shifts to Lot C, the pop-up changes corners — a dynamic QR code lets you re-point the printed code without reprinting. You also see scans by day, country, and device. And per the Qranite policy, if you ever stop paying, the code keeps redirecting forever.
About dynamic codesCommon questions
Does a location QR code expire?
Not here. The code contains the coordinates directly — nothing depends on our servers. It works as long as the place exists. Some generators wrap codes in redirect links that they expire; we don't.
How do I get coordinates from Google Maps?
On desktop, right-click the exact spot and click the coordinates at the top of the menu to copy them. On the mobile app, long-press the spot to drop a pin; the coordinates appear in the search bar.
Will it open Google Maps or Apple Maps?
The code uses the geo: standard, so each phone opens its default maps app — Apple Maps on iPhone, Google Maps on Android. If you need Google Maps specifically, paste a Google Maps share link into the URL generator on the homepage instead.
How precise are the coordinates?
Each decimal place adds precision. Four decimals gets within about 11 meters; six decimals, about 10 centimeters. Google Maps copies six by default, which is more than enough for a parking lot or trailhead.
What if the location changes later?
A static code encodes the coordinates themselves, so a new spot means a new code — thirty seconds and free. If the spot changes often, a dynamic code lets you update the destination without reprinting.
