Google Maps QR Code Generator
A location QR code opens a map pinned to your address when someone scans it — so customers get directions in one tap instead of typing an address. Enter an address or coordinates below, download the code, and add it to signs, invites or packaging. Free, no signup.
Helping people find you is one of the most useful things a QR code can do. A location QR code encodes a place — an address or latitude/longitude — so scanning it opens the spot in the phone's map app, ready for directions. It is perfect for shopfronts, event venues, real-estate signs, delivery instructions and 'find us' sections of printed material.
How It Works
Enter the location
The Location form is ready — search an address or paste latitude and longitude coordinates.
Brand the code
Add colors or a logo so it matches your store, event or sign.
Download and display
Export a high-resolution PNG or SVG and add it to signage, flyers or packaging.
What a location QR code does
The code encodes a geographic location. When scanned, the phone opens its default map app centered on that point, so the user can start navigation immediately. Nothing needs to be typed and there is no app to install — the built-in camera and map apps on iPhone and Android handle it natively.
Where to use it
Storefront windows and doors, event and wedding invitations, real-estate 'for sale' signs, trade-show booths, delivery and pickup instructions, and the contact section of brochures. A short prompt such as 'Scan for directions' tells people exactly what to expect.
Address vs coordinates
You can enter a searchable address or exact coordinates. An address is easier to read and works well for established businesses; coordinates are more precise for spots without a clear street address — a park entrance, a festival gate, a construction site. If a place is hard to find by address, use coordinates for an exact pin.
