Location QR Code Generator
Help people find you without typing an address. A location QR code opens your spot in a maps app with directions ready to go — ideal for stores, events, venues, and invitations.
Create your location QR code →A location QR code encodes a place — either as a maps link or as raw geo coordinates — so a scan opens that spot in the viewer’s maps app, ready for directions. It removes the awkward step of copying an address into a search box and is especially useful for places that are hard to describe, like a specific entrance, a market stall, or an event venue. Guests and customers simply scan and navigate, which cuts down on missed arrivals and "where are you?" messages.
Why use a Location QR code
Directions in one tap
People get turn-by-turn navigation instantly instead of copying an address and searching for it.
Fewer "where are you?" messages
Put the code on invites and signage so guests and customers find you without asking.
Looks intentional
Brand the code with your colors and logo so it fits your invite, flyer, or storefront.

Frequently asked questions
How do I make a location QR code?
Get a Google Maps link for your place (Share → Copy link) or use a geo: string with your coordinates, paste it into the generator, and download the code. Scanning opens the location in maps.
Which maps app does it open?
A Google Maps link opens Google Maps or the browser; a geo: string opens the phone’s default maps app, which is Apple Maps on iPhone and Google Maps on most Android devices.
Can I use coordinates instead of an address?
Yes. A geo:latitude,longitude string points to exact coordinates, which is useful for entrances, booths, or spots that do not have a clean street address.
Will it give directions automatically?
Scanning opens the location pin; the user taps "Directions" for navigation. Linking a Maps "directions" URL can open the routing view directly if you prefer.
Is CuteQRCode free to use?
Yes. Generating and downloading QR codes is completely free, with no watermark, no export limit, and no account required. You can sign in with Google if you want to sync your history across devices, but it is optional.
Will a styled QR code still scan?
Yes. The three finder-pattern squares in the corners are always drawn in the standard proportions scanners rely on, and styling is applied only to the data modules. A live preview lets you confirm scannability before you download, and high error correction adds tolerance for logos.
