Google Maps QR Code Generator

How it works

From location to QR code in seconds

Everything on this page happens in your browser: nothing is uploaded and nothing is installed.

01

Paste your location

Drop in a Google Maps share link, or just type your business name, full address or coordinates. The QR code appears instantly in the live preview.

02

Style it your way

Keep the clean look or pick your own colors, background, dot shapes and corners. Swap the center pin for your own logo.

03

Download & share

Export a crisp 2048px PNG for screens and social, or a vector SVG that stays sharp at any print size — both free, both watermark-free.

Why it matters

Get customers to your door in one scan

Typing an address into Maps is fiddly and easy to get wrong. A QR code opens your exact location and turn-by-turn directions instantly — point, scan, go.

One scan, instant directions — the code opens your pin in the Google Maps app or browser, ready to navigate.
Works everywhere — storefront windows, flyers, business cards, packaging, menus, invoices and event signage.
No wrong turns — customers reach the right entrance instead of a mistyped address across town.
Tip: use your Business Profile link — so scans can also see your hours, photos and reviews.

Guide

Google Maps QR codes: what to know before you print

A Google Maps QR code opens your location with directions. It's ideal for invitations, flyers and shop signs.

Tips for better results

Link to the place listing rather than a pin, so reviews and opening hours show.
Test the link on both iPhone and Android.
Print the address too.

A common mistake

Dropping a pin in the wrong spot. Check the location before printing.

Under the hood

What is inside this code

The code opens a location in the maps app, either by coordinates or by a place name or address.

https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=48.8584,2.2945

Limits and gotchas

Use coordinates when an address is ambiguous, such as a trailhead or a car park.
A place link opens the place card with hours and photos; a coordinate link just drops a pin.
Phones choose their default maps app, which may not be Google Maps.

A realistic example

A farm shop prints the code on its roadside sign. Visitors scan it and get directions from where they stand. For the car park round the corner, the code uses coordinates.

FAQ

Google Maps QR codes, explained

Should I use an address or coordinates?

An address is easiest. Use coordinates when the address does not lead to the right entrance.

Will it open Apple Maps on an iPhone?

It opens the maps app the phone is set to use for web map links.

How do I make a QR code for my Google Maps location?

Paste your Maps link in the generator above — or simply type your business name or address. The code is created instantly and opens your location. Style the colors, shapes and center icon if you like, then download it as PNG or SVG.

Where do I get my Google Maps link?

In Google Maps, search your place, tap "Share", and copy the link. On desktop, click the place, then "Share" → "Copy link". Paste that link here — short goo.gl and maps.app.goo.gl links work too.

Can I use an address or coordinates instead of a link?

Yes. Type a full address (e.g. "1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View") or latitude,longitude coordinates (e.g. "37.4220,-122.0841") and the code will open a Maps search for that exact spot.

Will the code open directions automatically?

Scanning opens your location in Google Maps, where the "Directions" button is one tap away. If you paste a Maps directions link, it can even open with the route pre-loaded.

Is this Google Maps QR code generator really free?

Yes — completely. No sign-up, no watermark, no scan limits and no expiry on the code. You can create and download as many as you want, for personal or commercial use.

What happens when someone scans the code?

Their phone opens your location — in the Google Maps app if it's installed, otherwise in the browser. From there they can navigate, save the place, call you or read reviews.
