Open Location Code (Plus Codes) converter

Convert GPS coordinates to an Open Location Code — also known as a "Plus Code", an open format created by Google (Apache 2.0 license) that encodes a location as a short, readable code — and vice versa.

Example:

Coordinates → Plus Code

Latitude

Longitude

Code length

Plus Code → Coordinates

Plus Code (full code)

What is an Open Location Code?

The Open Location Code (OLC), popularly called a "Plus Code", encodes a GPS position as a short alphanumeric code like "8FW4V942+JV". Unlike an address, it works anywhere in the world, including areas with no formal addressing — a major advantage in regions that haven't been mapped in detail.

The specification is public and openly licensed (Apache 2.0), so it can be implemented without depending on a service or an API key — as is the case with this tool, which calculates everything locally.

Does this code work outside Google Maps?

Yes: because the format is open, it can be decoded by any implementation that follows the specification, without depending on Google services.

100% local processing: the conversion runs entirely in your browser via WebAssembly — your coordinates are never sent to a server.
