Location QR Code Generator

How to use

1. 1Enter the latitude and longitude as plain decimals. North and east are positive; south and west are negative.
2. 2Or paste a "lat, lng" pair copied from Google Maps into the Latitude field and it splits across both inputs automatically.
3. 3Optionally add an altitude in metres. It is added to the geo URI only when you fill it in, and you can leave it empty.
4. 4Pick a coordinate precision to keep the code compact, and use Swap lat / lng if you transposed the two values.
5. 5Tune the appearance if needed: choose Q or H error correction for outdoor or printed signs, then adjust module size, quiet zone, and colors.
6. 6Download the QR as PNG or SVG, or copy the SVG markup or raw payload. Test it with one phone before printing copies.

About this tool

Location QR Code Generator turns a latitude and longitude into a scannable QR code that drops the scanner onto an exact map pin rather than a fuzzy text search. It builds the standardized geo URI from RFC 5870 in the form geo:<lat>,<lng>, which iOS Camera, Android Camera, and most barcode scanner apps recognize and open directly in the device's default maps app such as Apple Maps or Google Maps. This is the focused alternative to encoding a long maps web link: the geo: scheme is short, so the QR stays low-density and easy to scan from a poster, a window sticker, a business card, a real-estate sign, an event flyer, or a museum or trail marker. The tool validates that the latitude sits between -90 and 90 and the longitude between -180 and 180, rejects anything that is not a plain signed decimal so stray letters never end up in the payload, and quietly flags the 0, 0 coordinate (Null Island, in the ocean) that usually means an empty form. You can paste a "lat, lng" pair copied straight from Google Maps into the latitude field and it splits across both inputs, swap the two values if you transposed them, and add an optional altitude in metres that is appended as a third geo: value only when you fill it in. A coordinate-precision selector trims trailing decimals to 4, 5, or 6 places (roughly 11 metres, 1 metre, and 0.11 metres) to keep the URI as short as the job needs, or keeps every digit you entered. The QR itself uses an in-house, ISO/IEC 18004 compliant encoder shared with the general QR Code Generator (versions 1 to 40, error correction L through H); you control the foreground and background colors, module size, and quiet-zone margin, then download a PNG or a clean single-path SVG for print at any size. The exact geo: payload is shown with a copy button, and a separate map preview link lets you confirm the spot from a desktop where the geo: scheme may not be registered to an app. Everything runs locally in your browser; your coordinates and the generated code are never uploaded.
