Location QR Code Generator

Create a static QR code from a Google Maps, Apple Maps, OpenStreetMap, or other HTTP location link, or enter latitude and longitude for a Google Maps destination.

Create a location QR code

Encode a map link or manual coordinates, customize the QR appearance, then download PNG or SVG.

Generated locally
1. Choose location input

Use any valid HTTP or HTTPS location link, including Google Maps, Apple Maps, OpenStreetMap, or another map service. No destination is fetched.

2. Adjust QR settings
320 px

128–1024 pixels. The preview scales down responsively without changing export dimensions.

21.00:1 contrast · Suitable for generation.

Higher levels tolerate more damage but leave less capacity for long map links.

4 modules

Four modules is the minimum quiet zone used by this tool.

Local processing

Your location details stay in your browser

The destination and QR image are generated locally on your device. BrowserPine does not upload the link or coordinates, request device geolocation, call a Maps API, or store the entered location.

Three simple steps

How to create a QR code for a location

Choose a map link or coordinates

Paste a valid HTTP or HTTPS location URL, or enter manual latitude and longitude values.

Review the destination

Check the exact encoded URL, then choose size, colors, error correction, and quiet-zone width.

Download and test

Save the static QR code as PNG or SVG, then scan it with the devices and map applications that need to use it.

Create a QR code from a map link

Map link mode accepts a valid HTTP or HTTPS location URL. It can encode Google Maps, Apple Maps, OpenStreetMap, a shortened sharing link, or another normal map destination without restricting the tool to one provider.

The generator validates and displays the final URL but does not fetch the page, inspect the destination, embed a map, or contact a Maps API. The link itself is stored directly in the static QR code.

Use latitude and longitude coordinates

Coordinates mode accepts decimal latitude from -90 to 90 and longitude from -180 to 180. Negative values, zero, boundary values, and high-precision decimals are supported when entered manually.

The coordinates are placed in a Google Maps search destination using the documented api=1 query form. This URL does not need an API key, and BrowserPine is not affiliated with or endorsed by Google.

Static QR behavior and map applications

The PNG or SVG contains the final destination shown in the result. It is not a dynamic BrowserPine redirect, has no BrowserPine analytics, and cannot be updated remotely after download.

A scanner usually opens the encoded URL in a browser or compatible map application. The exact app, location display, and availability depend on the scanning device, installed apps, destination service, and future link behavior.

Local generation without location access

Creating the code happens in the browser. The tool does not request your current position, use browser geolocation, search for places, autocomplete an address, or send the entered destination to a processing server.

Opening the QR code later is separate from generation: the scanner may connect to Google Maps, Apple Maps, OpenStreetMap, or another encoded third-party service according to that service’s behavior and privacy terms.

Common questions

Location QR Code Generator FAQ

Which map links can I use?

You can use a valid HTTP or HTTPS location URL from Google Maps, Apple Maps, OpenStreetMap, a shortened sharing service, or another normal map provider.

Can I create a QR code from latitude and longitude?

Yes. Enter decimal latitude from -90 to 90 and longitude from -180 to 180. The tool creates a Google Maps search URL containing those values.

Does coordinate mode require a Google Maps API key?

No. It creates a normal Google Maps search URL with api=1 and does not call a Maps API during generation.

Does BrowserPine request my current location?

No. V1 uses only the map link or coordinates you enter manually and does not request browser or device geolocation.

Are the map link or coordinates uploaded?

No. Validation and QR generation happen locally in your browser, without uploading the entered location to a BrowserPine processing server.

What happens when someone scans the QR code?

Their scanner can open the encoded third-party map URL in a browser or compatible map application. That later request is separate from local QR generation.

Does a location QR code expire?

The static QR code has no BrowserPine expiration. A third-party map link can still change, redirect, or stop working, so test important codes before distributing them.
