App store QR code
Make an app download QR code
A scan opens your app's store page, ready to install.
An App Store or Google Play link. Or type id123456789 for Apple, or com.example.app for Google Play.
Make it yours
Your code appears here as you type.
An app download QR code takes someone from a poster, a package or a shop counter to the install button in one step. On an iPhone the camera opens an App Store link in the App Store app, and on Android a Google Play link opens the Play Store, so nobody has to search for your app by name and choose between the lookalikes that appear above it.
How to use it
- Open your app's page on the App Store or Google Play, use Share, and copy the link.
- Paste it above. You can also type an Apple app ID such as id1234567890, or an Android package name such as com.example.app.
- Make one code per store, and label each one with the store badge so people scan the right code for their phone.
- Download the SVG for print and test both codes with an iPhone and an Android phone.
Why there is no single code for both stores
A code that sends iPhones to the App Store and Android phones to Google Play needs a server in the middle: the code points at a redirect, and the redirect checks the phone and sends it on. That server is exactly what this site does not use. It would see every scan, it can be switched off, and the code dies with it. If you want one code for everyone, build a short page on your own website with both store badges and point a single code at that page. You keep control of it, and it never expires.
Where app codes work
Shop counters and receipts for a loyalty app. Restaurant tables for an ordering app. Packaging for the companion app of a device. Event signage for the schedule app. Print ads, where a download is the whole goal of the campaign. The store link is encoded in your browser and never uploaded. Any QR is not affiliated with Apple or Google.
Frequently asked questions
Not without a redirect server, which would expire and could track scans. Use two labelled codes, or point one code at a page on your own site that links to both stores.
It opens the App Store page in the browser, where the app cannot be installed. That is why each code should be labelled with its store.
The Apple ID is the number after id in your App Store link, and it is shown in App Store Connect. The Android package name is the value after id= in your Google Play link.
Yes. Updates do not change the store link. The code only stops working if the app is removed from the store.
