Convert Lat/Long to Plus Codes

Enter a decimal latitude and longitude to get the Plus Code (Open Location Code), or paste a code like 8FVC9G8F+6X to decode it. Plus Codes name every spot on Earth with one short code built from simple 20×20 subdivision, so they work where street addresses do not.

Enter coordinates above to see the Plus Code at three detail levels.

Plus Code is the standard 10-digit code (a cell about 14 m across). Precise adds an eleventh digit (about 3 m). Area stops at 8 digits (about 275 m).

How to use it

  1. Type the decimal latitude (for example 32.0853).
  2. Type the decimal longitude (for example 34.7818).
  3. Read the code at three detail levels; all rows update instantly as you type.
  4. Copy any row with its Copy button, or flip the toggle to decode a code instead.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert latitude and longitude to a Plus Code?

Enter the decimal latitude and longitude. The Plus Code appears immediately at the 10-digit, 11-digit, and 8-digit levels; no button press needed.

What about short codes like 9G8F+6X?

A short code drops its leading digits and leans on a nearby place for context. Paste it, then give an approximate reference latitude and longitude (the town it was shared with is close enough); the converter restores the full code.

Is this converter free?

Personal and non-commercial use is free; commercial use needs a paid license. No login, no upload; the conversion runs entirely in your browser.

How precise is a Plus Code?

The standard 10-digit code is a cell about 14 m across; an 11th digit takes it to roughly 3 m. Plus Codes name small areas, like a gate or a doorway; for meter-precision point references on a metric grid, use MGRS.
