Free Location QR Code Generator

A location QR code opens a maps app pointed at an address or a set of coordinates. It doesn't contain an interactive map itself, just a link that opens one. Scan it, and directions are one tap away.

How to create a Location QR Code

1. Enter an address, or latitude and longitude coordinates.
2. Style and download the code.
3. Place it on a sign, flyer, or invitation.

Customizing your QR code

An address is usually the more forgiving option. Most map services can resolve minor formatting differences. Coordinates are more precise and useful for locations without a clean street address, like a trailhead or a specific spot in a large venue.

Where to use a Location QR Code

• A directions sign outside a venue or shop.
• A wedding invitation linking to the venue.
• A flyer for a pop-up or market stall.
• A hiking trailhead marker with exact coordinates.

Testing your QR code

Before printing or publishing any QR code, test it yourself: scan it with your phone's camera from a normal viewing distance and confirm it opens the destination you intended. If you're printing it small or on a textured surface, test that exact size and material. A code that scans easily on a screen can struggle once it's shrunk onto a napkin or embossed on packaging.

Static QR codes, explained

ClearQR creates static QR codes. The information you enter (a URL, a phone number, contact details) is encoded directly into the QR code's pattern, so the generated code doesn't depend on ClearQR's servers to keep working.

The destination itself, though, still needs to remain available: if you delete the page a QR code points to, the code will still scan, but visitors will land on a dead link. If you need to change the destination later, create a new QR code; a static code can't be redirected after it's printed.
