WGS 84 → Plus Code

Latitude and longitude to Plus Code converter

Convert latitude and longitude to full Plus Codes individually or in batches, with worldwide coverage, cell and coordinate-order guidance.

Batch coordinate converter

Enter one WGS 84 coordinate per line as latitude, longitude.

Input example: 51.5072, -0.1276

0 of 100 coordinates

The result identifies a cell rather than an exact point.

Output example: 9C3XGV4C+VX

Numeric coordinates are rounded for display: decimal latitude/longitude to up to 6 decimal places, metre-based coordinates to up to 3, DMS seconds to up to 2, and DDM minutes to up to 4.

About this conversion

Convert WGS 84 latitude and longitude to a self-contained full Plus Code (Open Location Code) that identifies a geographic cell.

Frequently asked questions

What input is accepted?

By default, enter WGS 84 latitude first and longitude second in decimal degrees. Select Reverse coordinate order to enter longitude first. Latitude must be from −90 to 90 and longitude from −180 to 180.

What output will I receive?

The result is a standard full Plus Code with ten code characters plus the + separator. It identifies a cell rather than a single point.

Which axes and units are used?

WGS 84 input defaults to latitude then longitude in degrees. The output is a text code for a geographic cell.

How are precision and datum handled?

The generated code represents the cell containing the source coordinate. Its encoded cell size does not improve the source coordinate's accuracy.

Where can I use this coordinate system?

Full Plus Codes are available worldwide, including polar locations.

What should I check?

  • Check that the selected latitude/longitude order matches each input row.
  • Keep the + separator when copying or storing the generated code.
  • Treat the result as a cell identifier rather than an infinitely precise point.

Does this route generate short Plus Codes?

No. It generates self-contained full codes that do not require locality context.

Does a generated Plus Code identify an exact point?

No. It identifies the geographic cell containing the source coordinate.
