What this tool does
Coordinates beat a written address in exactly the places a written address fails: an unnamed side street, a delivery door round the back, a stand in a hall, a site with no number yet. The code carries a point, not a description of one.
At a glance
| Encodes | A geo: URI — latitude, longitude and an optional place name |
|---|---|
| Opens in | Whichever maps app the phone has as its default |
| Cost | Free, no limits on how many you make |
| Sign-up | None. No account, no email address |
| You download | PNG (high resolution) and SVG (vector) |
| Where it runs | Entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded |
| Code type | Static — the content lives inside the image |
| Editable after printing | No. Change the content and you get a new code |
| Scan tracking | No. There is no server in the path to count a scan |
How it works
Enter your details
Enter the latitude and longitude, and an optional label for the place.
Style it, and keep it scannable
Pick colours, module and eye shapes, a gradient, a frame, or drop your logo in the middle. The preview updates as you type and the timing patterns stay square, which is what keeps it readable.
Download and print
Take a high-resolution PNG or a vector SVG. Free, no sign-up, no watermark, and the file is yours.
Good to know
- Get the coordinates by long-pressing the exact spot in Google Maps or Apple Maps; the pair it shows is what goes in these two fields.
- This writes a geo: point, which opens in whichever map app the phone prefers rather than forcing one. If you specifically need Google Maps, use the link generator with a maps.app.goo.gl URL instead.
- Four decimal places is about eleven metres, which is the right precision for a doorway. More digits make the code denser and claim an accuracy a phone cannot use.
- This is a static QR code: your content is encoded into the image itself, so nothing is stored on our servers and the code never expires — but its destination is fixed once you print it.
- Everything runs in your browser. What you type is never uploaded, which is also why there are no scan statistics on these codes: there is no server in the path to count anything.
Need an editable, trackable QR?
A dynamic Qrindo code keeps the same printed image but lets you re-point it any time and tracks every scan, geo, device, and live.
Frequently asked questions
Which map app does a location code open?
Whichever one the phone has set as default — Apple Maps on a stock iPhone, Google Maps on most Android. That is the advantage of a geo: point over a Google Maps link, which forces one app on everybody.
Can I use a street address instead of coordinates?
Not in this format, which is coordinate-based by design. Convert the address to a point once in a map app and encode that: it removes the geocoding guesswork that puts a delivery driver on the wrong side of a block.
Will it give walking or driving directions?
It drops a pin at the point; the person taps "directions" from there and their app picks the mode. The code deliberately does not choose driving on their behalf, which would be wrong inside a pedestrian area.
Where do I find the latitude and longitude?
In Google Maps, right-click the exact spot and the coordinates appear at the top of the menu, ready to copy. On a phone, long-press the point and read them from the search bar.
Does it open Google Maps or Apple Maps?
Whichever is the default on that phone — the geo: format is deliberately neutral and does not name a provider. If you need one specific app, encode the URL of that specific app with the plain link generator instead.
Coordinates or a business listing — which is better?
Coordinates drop a pin at an exact point, which is right for a site entrance, a stand or a trailhead. A listing link shows opening hours and reviews, which is right for a shop. Pick by what the person needs when they arrive.
