Google Maps QR Code GeneratorPaste a Google Maps link, or type latitude and longitude. Save the code as an image, or print a “Find us” sign.

Words on the sign

Words on the sign

The words follow the kind of code until you type your own.

Look Colours

Rounded and dots soften the squares; the three big corner squares stay solid so phones still find the code. Scan it with your phone before you print.

It changes with the kind of code until you type your own. Leave it empty for no line.

Logo in the middle (opt.)

With a logo the code switches to its strongest error correction, and the logo covers less than a fifth of its width. Kept in this browser only; not included in a share link.

Print size

Finished? Scan it with your phone, then save it

Pick a sign on the right. It opens the tool for that sign.

PNG for documents, slides and social posts; SVG for a print shop or a design app. Share link sends a link that shows this code, ready to scan: nothing is uploaded, the code travels inside the link.

Print at 100% (“Actual size”), not “Fit to page”. Scan one code from the printed page before you print or cut the rest.

A QR code that shows people where you are

Paste the link Google Maps gives you for your place, or type its latitude and longitude, and this page makes a QR code that opens that spot on the map. Print a “Find us” sign for a flyer, an invitation, a window or a gate, or save the code as an image.

The code holds the link itself, so it never expires and nothing is tracked. It is made in your browser; what you type is not uploaded.

How to make a Google Maps QR code

  1. Give the place

    Paste a Google Maps link, or choose “Latitude and longitude” and type the two numbers.

  2. Scan the code

    Scan it with your own phone and check that the map shows the right spot, not the one next door.

  3. Print or save

    Print the sign, or save the code as a PNG or SVG for an invitation, a flyer or a website.

Getting the Google Maps link

In Google Maps, find your place, tap its name or address, tap Share and choose where to send the link. On a computer, open the menu, choose “Share or embed map”, then “Send a link” and “Copy link”. Paste that link into the box on this page.

The code holds the link exactly as you paste it. A short link from Google is fine and makes a simpler code than a very long one.

Using latitude and longitude

If you have coordinates instead of a link, type them as numbers with a dot: for example 47.5951518 and -122.3316393. Latitude runs from -90 to 90 and longitude from -180 to 180; places south of the equator and west of Greenwich are minus numbers.

The code then holds a link of the form https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=47.5951518%2C-122.3316393. Google’s guide for Maps URLs describes this search link, says api=1 is required, and says that the query can be comma-separated latitude and longitude. This page writes the comma as %2C, the way Google’s own example does.

Where a location code helps

  • Invitations and event flyers, so guests do not type the address.
  • A shop window or door sign for people looking for the entrance.
  • A gate, a farm stand or a trailhead where the address is hard to find.
  • A business card, a delivery note or a van.

Tips

  • Print the address in words next to the code too. Some people do not scan.
  • If you move, the printed code still opens the old place: make a new one.
  • A phone decides whether to show the map in a browser or in an app. Scan it on both an iPhone and an Android phone if you can.

Frequently asked questions

What does the code contain?

Either the Google Maps link you pasted, exactly as it was, or a Google Maps search link made from your latitude and longitude. Nothing else, and the name of the place you type is only printed on the sign.

Do I need an account?

No. There is no account and no watermark. What you type stays in your browser.

Does the code expire?

No. It is a static code. It works for as long as the link or the place on the map does.

Will it show directions?

It opens the place on the map. Once it is open, the person can ask their map app for directions from where they are.

Can I use another map app’s link?

Yes. A link from another map service makes a code too, but this page warns you if the link is not on Google Maps so that you can check it.

My coordinates have a comma as the decimal mark. Does that work?

Write them with a dot (47.5951, not 47,5951). A comma is read as the break between the two numbers.
