What Is an App Store QR Code?

An App Store QR code sends someone straight to your app's page in the App Store or Google Play with a single scan, instead of making them search for your app by name. This generator can build a single code that works for both, automatically sending an iPhone to the App Store and an Android phone to Google Play.

How Does One Code Work for Both App Stores?

Add your App Store and Google Play links, and a small page included with this site checks which kind of phone scanned the code, then sends it straight to the matching store. If you only add one of the two links, the code just opens that link directly, with no extra step.

Why Do I Need an App Store QR Code?

One Code Instead of Two

Without this, you would need a separate code for iPhone users and another for Android users, or just guess which one to print. One smart code handles both, so you only need to design and print one thing.

Saves People a Search

Typing your app's name into a store's search bar and hoping the right result comes up is more friction than most people will bother with. A scan skips the search entirely.

Works for Print and Digital Alike

The same code works equally well on packaging, a poster, a business card, or a digital ad, since it just needs a camera to read it.

Completely Free

There is no cost to create an App Store QR code here, and no account required.

How Do I Create an App Store QR Code?

1Add Your App Store Link

Paste in the link to your app's page on the App Store, if you have an iOS version.

2Add Your Google Play Link

Paste in the link to your app's page on Google Play, if you have an Android version.

3Add Your Website Address, If Needed

If you filled in both links, add your own site's address too, since the code needs that to build the page that checks a visitor's phone.

4Choose Your Colors and Size

Set the pattern and background colors, then pick the size you want to download.

5Download and Use It

Save it as a JPG, PNG, or SVG and add it to whatever you are printing or sharing.

A Few Ways People Use App Store QR Codes

Restaurants

A restaurant with its own ordering app can print an App Store QR code on table tents and signage so diners can install it in a couple of taps instead of hunting for it in a store.

Online Retailers

An online shop with a mobile app can add the code to packaging inserts, receipts, or email marketing, making it easy for a customer to install the app right after a purchase.

Game Studios

A studio launching a mobile version of a game can print the code on packaging, posters, or social media graphics to guide players from their computer to their phone.

Any Tips for an App Store QR Code?

Only Fill In What You Need

If your app is only on one platform, just add that one link. The code stays simple and does not need a website address at all.

Keep It Big Enough to Scan

Print it at least 2 by 2 centimeters, or about 0.8 by 0.8 inches, especially on packaging or a busy ad.

Choose Colors With Enough Contrast

Match your own brand colors if you like, just keep the pattern noticeably darker than the background.

Pick the Right File Format

JPG, PNG, and SVG are all free to download here, no account needed for any of them.

FAQ

How do I scan an App Store QR code?

Open your phone's camera app and point it at the code for a second or two. Most modern phones will show a notification or open the store automatically. If yours doesn't have a built in scanner, a free QR reader app from your app store will do the job.

How do I install an app after scanning the code?

Scanning the code opens the correct app store automatically, based on your phone. From there, just tap install like you would with any other app.

Which app stores can I link to?

This generator supports the Apple App Store and Google Play. If you need a third store, you could link the domain field to a page you control that adds more options.

Do I need my own website for this to work?

Only if you're linking both an iOS and an Android app. In that case, the code needs a small page on your own site to check the visitor's phone. If you're only linking one store, no website is needed.

Is my information sent to a server when I create the code?

No. The code itself is built entirely in your browser.

Can I track how many people scan my App Store QR code?

No. This generator only creates static codes, so there is no built in way to track scans.
