Address to Coordinates Converter
An address to coordinates lookup, also called forward geocoding, converts a street address, business name, or landmark into a latitude and longitude pair. Enter an address below to convert it to coordinates instantly, free, with no sign-up. This is the opposite of reverse geocoding, which turns coordinates into a written address.
The tool above works with any address, business name, or landmark worldwide. Enter a query, or click one of the try examples below the field, to run a lookup. You can run as many searches as you like without reloading the page.
For example, searching Eiffel Tower resolves to 48.8582599, 2.2945006358633115, the coordinates of the tower itself in the 7th Arrondissement of Paris, France. When a query matches a named landmark or business rather than a plain street address, the tool surfaces that name and category, historic and monument in this case, alongside the coordinates, not just a bare street match.
What You Get from This Tool
Submitting a query returns two things side by side: an interactive map centered on the matched point, and a structured results panel with the following fields.
Coordinates
The latitude and longitude of the matched point, returned in WGS84 decimal degrees to a high precision, copyable with one click.
Location
A single combined, formatted address string built from the fields below, ready to reference or display directly.
Name, Category, and Type
The name of the matched feature and how it is classified, for example the Eiffel Tower returns a category of historic and a type of monument, or a business returns its own name when the query matches one directly.
Street, Area, Postcode, and City
The street name, local area, postal code, and city the point falls within.
County, State, and Country
The county or district, state name and state code, and the country name and code. Any field without a value at that location, such as county for a landmark like the Eiffel Tower, returns as N/A rather than being silently omitted, so you always know what data is and is not available for a given point.
How to Use This Tool
Using the APIFreaks Address to Coordinates Converter takes a few seconds. Enter your query, or pick a try example, then click "Get Coordinates" to run the search.
- Step 1 - Enter an Address, Business Name, or Landmark Type your query directly into the search field. Comma-separated addresses (street, city, state, or country) tend to return the most precise match, but a well-known place name works on its own too.
- Step 2 - Or Use a Try Example Click one of the try examples below the field, Eiffel Tower, Times Square, Tokyo Tower, or Sydney Opera, to fill in a sample query and see a worked result without an address on hand.
- Step 3 - Click "Get Coordinates" Press "Get Coordinates" to get the matched latitude and longitude, plus the full address breakdown and a marker on the map showing exactly where that point sits.
No sign-up or API key is required, and the tool is free to use.
Use Cases of This Tool
Forward geocoding shows up anywhere a written address needs to be turned into something a map, a database, or a routing engine can work with.
Spreadsheet and Database Enrichment
When you have a list of addresses and need their coordinates for mapping, distance calculations, or a GIS import, this tool gives you a fast way to spot check individual rows before running the full list through the API.
Content and Listings Verification
Travel writers, real estate listings, and local business directories often need to confirm exact coordinates for a place name rather than trust a rough guess.
Landmarks Without a Street Address
Landmarks, parks, and points of interest often do not have a conventional street address. Searching the name directly resolves it anyway.
API Evaluation Before Integrating
Running a few queries through this tool first shows you the exact fields and precision you would get from the Forward Geocoding API, with no setup.
Routing and Mapping Preparation
Once you have latitude and longitude for a location, you can pair it with reverse geocoding to go the other direction, resolving a GPS pin back into a readable address.
