Location QR Code Generator

Share a map link for a venue, entrance, or meeting point. This tool encodes the URL you provide rather than collecting your current position or choosing a location for you.

Enter your content

Include the country code and omit the local leading zero. Use a number registered with WhatsApp.

Enter at least a first or last name. All other details are optional.

Your QR code is generated directly in your browser.

With this enabled, the recommended border takes precedence over a smaller custom margin.

Print assistant

Width includes the clear border. A 0.4 mm module is a practical starting target for close-up scanning; distance, paper, and cameras affect results.

Enter valid content to calculate print sizes.

    For SVG, set this width in your design or print app. Always test the actual printed size.

    Printable signs

    Templates change the wording, not the QR content. QR width is set in the Print assistant. Wi-Fi passwords are not printed as text.

    Checks run locally in your browser.

    Read the automatic check result, then test the exported image and its intended action with a phone. Ordinary image downloads can remain available when a check fails.

    File extensions are added automatically.

    PNG downloads include the DPI chosen in Print assistant. Use Download print PNG to match your chosen physical width.

    SVG is recommended for printing because it can be scaled without losing quality. These are static QR codes: their encoded content cannot be changed after downloading. The QR code itself has no expiry; linked content must remain available.

    Check the arrival point with someone unfamiliar

    For an event, ask a permitted tester to open the link while signed out and confirm the public entrance, rather than relying on the venue owner’s saved map. An apparently correct pin can still direct drivers to a service road or inaccessible entrance.

    Print the street address and relevant access instructions beside the image. The linked map service may request location permission or process activity under its own rules, even though this generator does not obtain live GPS data. Review the destination’s behaviour separately from QR generation.

    Copy the share link for the exact place

    1. Open the location in your chosen map service. Check the pin, place name, and entrance you want visitors to find.
    2. Use that service’s share or copy-link option, then paste the complete HTTP or HTTPS address above.
    3. Open the copied link in a private or signed-out browser window to check that it is useful to someone without your account.
    4. Generate the QR image and scan the export. Confirm the map opens at the intended place, not just a broad search result.

    Location link versus live location

    A static map link can point to a business listing, a dropped pin, a directions page, or another public location page. The code does not update with your movements, itself obtain visitors’ GPS coordinates or publish live location data. Which map app opens depends on the URL and the scanning device.

    This page does not offer latitude-and-longitude fields or a geo URI mode. If you have coordinates, use your map service to create an appropriate public link first. Keep the underlying destination accessible for the life of the printed sign.

    Give visitors context outside the code

    For an event venue, print the address, entrance name, or meeting instructions alongside the QR image. A scan should help with navigation, but a readable address remains useful when mobile connectivity is poor. Check whether the link points to the public entrance rather than an office, loading bay, or private access road.

    Printable signs can use a custom title such as Find the reception entrance and a short description. Choose the QR width in Print assistant and test the printed copy where the sign will actually be displayed.

    Troubleshoot the link separately from the image

    Payload verified means the rendered image contains your pasted URL. It does not confirm a business listing is current, verify opening hours, check route accessibility, or test directions. If the QR scans but the wrong place opens, replace the destination link rather than changing the image design.

    For several venues, the bulk URL generator can create one named code per location. Use descriptive filenames and review each map link before making signs.

    Questions about this tool

    Can I use a map service other than Google Maps?

    Yes. The generator accepts a complete public HTTP or HTTPS link. Test whether that service presents the location usefully on your audience’s devices.

    Will scanning open a maps app automatically?

    It may open an app, a browser, or a chooser. That behaviour is controlled by the service, operating system, and installed apps.

    Can the code give someone access to a private saved map?

    It does not change permissions. Share an accessible link and test it while signed out of the account that created the map.
