Plus Code → WGS 84

Plus Code to latitude and longitude converter

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

Batch coordinate converter

Enter one full Plus Code per line. Short codes are not supported.

This reference identifies a cell; conversions use its centre as the representative point.

Input example: 9C3XGV4C+VX

0 of 100 references

Results use: latitude, longitude order.

Output example: 51.5072, -0.1276

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 self-contained full Plus Codes (Open Location Codes) to WGS 84 latitude and longitude.

Frequently asked questions

What input is accepted?

Enter a full Plus Code containing the + separator. Short locality-dependent codes are not accepted because they require a reference location.

What output will I receive?

By default, results show WGS 84 latitude first and longitude second in decimal degrees. Select Reverse coordinate order to show longitude first. Displayed decimal places do not add accuracy to the source cell.

Which axes and units are used?

Plus Code input is a text identifier for a geographic cell. WGS 84 output defaults to latitude then longitude in degrees.

How are precision and datum handled?

The converter returns the decoded cell's centre as its representative coordinate. The result is not more precise than the source code's cell.

Where can I use this coordinate system?

Full Plus Codes are available worldwide, including polar locations.

What should I check?

  • Use a self-contained full code rather than a short locality-dependent code.
  • Keep the + separator in its required position.
  • Treat the result as the cell centre; the code represents the entire cell.

Are short Plus Codes supported?

No. This converter requires a self-contained full code.

Which point is returned from a code?

The centre of the decoded cell is used as the representative point.
