Location QR Code
The payload is a geo: URI, optionally with a short label.
Everything runs in this browser. Text, files and the finished image are not sent to a server.
A Dynamic URL code stores the destination on our servers so you can change it later. The printed symbol points at a short address on this site. This redirect is free and best-effort — not a paid, guaranteed service.
This business-card code uses the same vCard format as our <a href="/qr/vcard">vCard tool</a>.vCard tool.
EPS is a classic vector of square modules in a single colour. It does not include a centre mark, a gradient, or shaped modules, because those do not travel reliably in EPS. PDF embeds the current preview as a page-sized image, so colours, shapes and a centre mark are kept. Decorative frames and the caption are included in PNG, SVG and PDF only; EPS stays a plain, unframed code.
How to use it
- 1
Enter latitude and longitude in decimal degrees.
- 2
Optionally add a short label.
- 3
Create the code and check it opens a map on your phone.
What it does
The payload is a geo: URI, optionally with a short label. A maps app that understands it should centre on those coordinates.
Latitude must fall between -90 and 90, longitude between -180 and 180. A label, if given, is added as a q= parameter.
Why it works this way
The code does not look up an address for you. If you only have a street name, find the coordinates first, then paste them here.
Some scanners open Google Maps, some open Apple Maps, some show the raw geo: string. The numbers are always in the payload, so they can be copied.
This is still a static code. If a venue moves, the old print still points at the old coordinates.
Examples
37.7749, -122.4194, label Market Street
geo:37.7749,-122.4194?q=Market%20Street
latitude 120
an error
Inputs and outputs
- latitude
- longitude
- optional label
- a static QR symbol whose payload is a geo URI
Edge cases
- out-of-range values are rejected
- no live address search is provided on this page
Frequently asked questions
Why isn’t there an address search box?
Looking up an address would mean sending what you type to a map provider. This tool stays in the browser, so you bring the coordinates.
Will the pin move if the business relocates?
No. The printed numbers stay as they are.
Do you store what I type on this page?
No. For a static code, encoding happens in your browser. We do not upload or keep the payload.
Will the printed code still work if this site is offline?
Yes for a static code: the content is in the image. A Dynamic URL code is different — a scan needs this site to redirect, and we do not guarantee that it will stay online.
Do style templates change what a scanner reads?
No. The decorative frame and caption sit outside the quiet zone. Only the QR modules are encoded. Framed styles download as PNG, SVG or PDF; EPS stays an unframed monochrome code.
