How to Create an App Download QR Code
An app download QR code sends people to the App Store or Google Play. Use two codes — or one smart landing page — so every phone lands in the right store.

Create an app download QROption A — Two store codes
- Copy your App Store and Play Store URLs.
- Create two codes in the Studio and label them iOS / Android on the print.
- See also App Store and Google Play use-case pages.
Option B — One smart link
Host a tiny landing page that detects iOS vs Android and redirects. Encode that single URL in one QR — cleaner packaging, slightly more setup. Use a dynamic QR so you can fix the landing page later.
Best practices
- Always use official store URLs, not unofficial mirrors.
- On packaging, keep codes large enough for close-range scans.
- Add UTM parameters if you also use web analytics.
FAQ
Can one QR work for iPhone and Android?
Not with a single store URL. Print two codes, or link a landing page that detects the device and redirects to the right store.
Where do I get the official store links?
Use apps.apple.com for iOS and play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=… for Android from your developer consoles.
How do I track installs vs scans?
Store consoles track installs. A dynamic QR tracks scans. Use both for a fuller picture.
