UlvixorGoogle Maps QR Code Generator
Generate a QR code that opens a location directly on Google Maps when scanned, whether it's an address, a place name, or exact coordinates.
How it works
- Enter the full address, the place name, or coordinates in latitude,longitude format.
- The QR code is generated instantly with a Google Maps search link.
- When scanned, it opens the Google Maps app (or the browser) directly at that location.
- Download the PNG and add it to invitations, cards, or signs with directions.
Use cases
- Adding your business location to business cards, signs, or packaging.
- Including directions to an event venue on a printed or digital invitation.
- Making it easier for customers to reach your store without having to type the address manually.
- Sharing an exact meeting point using coordinates instead of an ambiguous address.

Common mistakes
- Entering an incomplete or ambiguous address, with no city or street number.If the street name repeats across multiple cities, Google Maps might open the wrong result. Include the city and, if possible, the postal code or additional references.
- Using the name of a place that isn't registered on Google Maps yet, like a new business.If your business doesn't have a Google Maps listing yet, use the exact address or coordinates instead of the name, to make sure the QR code leads to the right spot.
- Reversing the order of the coordinates, entering longitude before latitude.The correct format is latitude,longitude (for example, 19.4326,-99.1332 for Mexico City). Reversing the order leads to a completely different point on the map.
Frequently asked questions
The QR code opens a Google Maps link. On iPhone it will open in the Google Maps app if installed, or in the browser showing the Google map; it doesn't open Apple Maps directly.
Yes. You can enter coordinates in latitude,longitude format and the QR code will lead exactly to that point.
No. The QR code is generated entirely in your browser; it only builds a Google Maps link from the text you enter.
The QR code is static and encodes the text you entered. If your business changes address, you'll need to generate and print a new code.
Alternatives
You can share a Google Maps link directly in a message, but a QR code is more practical for printed materials where you can't copy and paste a link. This tool automatically builds the correct URL format that Google Maps recognizes from an address, a place, or coordinates.
