Google Maps QR Code Generator

Just need the numbers? Extract the coordinates instead.

Runs entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded - the QR code is generated on your device.

Turn a Google Maps location into a QR code that opens the exact spot when scanned. Paste a Google Maps link or coordinates, and download the QR as a PNG or a crisp SVG. It is perfect for a poster, a business card, an event flyer, a menu, or a shop window, so people can find you without typing an address. The Google Maps version scans reliably on both iPhone and Android. Everything runs in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.

How to use this tool

  1. 1Paste a Google Maps link or coordinates (like 13.7563, 100.5018).
  2. 2Choose what the QR opens: a Google Maps link (works on any phone) or a geo: link (default map app).
  3. 3Set the size with the slider.
  4. 4Scan it with your own phone to check it lands on the right place.
  5. 5Download the QR code as PNG or SVG and add it to your design.

Example

Find-us code for a flyer

Paste your shop's Google Maps link, keep the Google Maps option, set a large size, and download the SVG so it stays sharp when printed at any scale.

QR from raw coordinates

Paste 13.7563, 100.5018, and the tool builds a QR that opens that exact point in maps, ready to download as a PNG for a slide or social post.

Common use cases

  • Putting a scannable location on a flyer, poster, or event invite
  • Adding a find-us QR code to a business card or shop window
  • Letting customers navigate to a venue without typing the address
  • Sharing a precise meeting point that has no street address
  • Printing a location QR on a menu, sign, or delivery note

Common mistakes

  • Not testing the scan - always scan your own QR before printing to confirm it opens the right location.
  • Printing the PNG too small - for print, use the SVG or a large PNG so the code stays scannable.
  • Using a shortened Google link - paste the full URL or coordinates so the tool can read the location.
  • Choosing geo: for a mixed audience - the Google Maps option is the safer default because it opens on both iPhone and Android.

Frequently asked questions

What happens when someone scans the code?

It opens the location in maps. With the Google Maps option, the scan opens a Google Maps link that works on both iPhone and Android. With the geo: option, it opens the phone's default map app, which works best on Android.

Can I use coordinates instead of a link?

Yes. Paste a latitude and longitude like 13.7563, 100.5018 and the tool builds the QR from that point. You can also paste a full Google Maps URL and it extracts the coordinates first.

PNG or SVG - which should I download?

Use PNG for screens, slides, and social posts. Use SVG for print, because it is a vector and stays perfectly sharp at any size, from a business card to a large poster.

Does the QR code expire?

No. The code contains the location directly, so it never expires and does not depend on any tracking service. As long as the place exists, the code keeps working.

Is my location uploaded anywhere?

No. The QR code is generated entirely in your browser, so the location you enter is never sent to a server. It is safe to use for private addresses.

How do I get the coordinates from a map link?

Use the Google Maps to Coordinates tool, linked from this page, to extract the latitude and longitude from a Google Maps URL, then bring them here if you like.
