Address QR Code
Free Address QR Code Generator — Maps, Find Us, vCard
Turn a street address into a QR that opens your business on a map with the pin set, hours and reviews showing, and Directions one tap away — instead of leaving customers to retype it by hand.
Quick answer
An address QR code turns a street address into a scan that opens your business on a map with the pin set, hours and reviews showing, and Directions one tap away. To make one, enter the address, add your colors and logo, and download a PNG, SVG, or PDF. Free, no watermark.

About Address QR Codes
Generate a QR code for your business address that opens a map with your pin already placed. Paste your Google Maps or Apple Maps link, or type the full street address, and EZQR encodes it into a scannable code you can print on a storefront window, a yard sign, an invitation, or a delivery box. Someone scans, the maps app opens on their phone, and the Directions button is right there — no retyping a street number into a tiny keyboard, no autocorrect sending them two blocks away.
The format you encode decides whether it works. A map URL pointed at your verified Business Profile is the reliable cross-platform default: it carries your name, hours, reviews, and a Directions button, and it opens Google Maps on Android and routes cleanly on iPhone. A raw GPS coordinate is the open standard but iOS handles it inconsistently, so it is the wrong default for a public code — use it only for places with no postal address. The free plan generates as many static address codes as you need with no watermark and no expiration; the $5/month Lite plan adds dynamic codes you can repoint when you relocate or reuse a printed sign. For coordinate-first cases like trailheads or loading docks, see the location QR generator.
Walkthrough
How to Create a Address QR Code
Copy a map link, not just the address text
Open Google Maps, search your business, confirm it is your verified Business Profile (not a generic pin), tap Share, and copy the link — or build the clean URL
https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=Your+Business,+City. A map URL carries the place identity, so the scan lands on your listing with hours and a Directions button. Typing a bare street address relies on the maps app's geocoder, which lands within 10–30 meters in cities and routinely misses rural addresses by 100+ meters. For an iPhone-heavy audience, copy the Apple Maps link instead (https://maps.apple.com/?q=...).Customize the design without breaking the scan
Pick your brand colors, add a logo, and choose a dot style. Keep contrast above 4:1 between the modules and the background — the spec-compliant minimum for reliable scanning. If the logo covers more than 10% of the code, switch error correction to level H (30% recovery) before downloading so the code still reads through the overlay. The live preview shows the pattern density as you adjust.
Download for the placement and size for the read distance
PNG for screens and small print; SVG or PDF for anything a sign shop prints large, so the code stays crisp at size. Size with the 10:1 rule — minimum code width in inches equals the scan distance in feet divided by 10. A yard sign read from 6 feet needs roughly a 7-inch code; a storefront decal read from the sidewalk needs 8 cm or more. Always pair the code with the written address and a 'Scan for directions' prompt.
Address QR Code FAQ
Common questions about generating, printing, and deploying these codes.
How do I make a QR code for my business address?
Search your business in Google Maps, confirm it is your verified listing, tap Share and copy the link (or build https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=Your+Business,+City). Paste it into EZQR, add your colors and logo, and download PNG for screens or SVG/PDF for large print. The code is free with no watermark and no expiration, and the whole process takes under a minute.
What's the best format for an address QR code?
A map URL pointed at your Business Profile. It opens Google Maps on Android, routes cleanly on iPhone, and carries your hours, reviews, and a Directions button. A typed address relies on the geocoder and can miss; a raw geo: coordinate (RFC 5870) is honored inconsistently by iOS. A vCard QR is the right pick only when the goal is saving your business to someone's contacts rather than navigating there now.
Will the address QR open Google Maps or Apple Maps?
It depends on the format and the phone. A Google Maps URL opens the Google Maps app on Android and the app or browser on iPhone. An Apple Maps URL opens Apple Maps on iPhone and a browser on Android. On iOS, a typed address or raw coordinate defaults to Apple Maps. For a mixed public audience, a Google Maps URL is the safest cross-platform choice.
Can I make a QR code that gives directions to my address?
Yes — that's what a Business Profile address QR does. When the scan opens your listing, the Directions button is right there and one tap starts turn-by-turn navigation from the scanner's location. You can also encode a directions URL directly: https://www.google.com/maps/dir/?api=1&destination=... for Google Maps, or https://maps.apple.com/?daddr=... for Apple Maps.
What's the difference between an address QR and a location QR?
An address QR encodes a postal street address for a named place — a storefront, office, or venue — usually as a map URL tied to a Business Profile. A location QR is broader and also covers raw GPS coordinates and directions links for places with no street address, like a trailhead or a festival field. Same maps apps, different starting point: a named address versus a coordinate.
