QR Type Guide

How Should You Use App Store QR Codes?

Choose static when the encoded information will never change. Choose dynamic when you need to edit the destination after printing, track scans, pause a campaign, or keep a stable short link while the destination changes.

Best For

Campaigns where the scanner expects a focused destination and you may need analytics, design control, or a destination you can update later.

Not Best For

Cases where another QR type is more specific, such as PDF for files, vCard for contact saving, WiFi for network access, or menu QR for restaurant menus.

Before Printing

Test the final QR at real size, confirm the quiet zone, and use the size calculator when the code will appear on signs, packaging, menus, cards, or other printed material.

How to Create a AppStore QR Code

Three simple steps to drive app downloads. Create your App Store QR code and start converting offline users.

1

Enter App Store Link

Paste your App Store or Google Play URL. Find it by searching your app in the store and copying the link.

2

Customize Your Design

Match your app's branding with custom colors and add your app icon as the logo.

3

Download & Promote

Download in PNG, PDF, or SVG. Add to marketing materials, packaging, and promotional items.

Which App Store Link Should Your QR Code Encode?

An app-download QR code is only as good as the URL behind it. Apple and Google use different link formats, and the right choice depends on whether you ship on one platform or both. Use this decision table to pick the exact link to paste into the generator.

Your situation What the QR should encode Link format / example QR type to use
iOS app only Your App Store product page https://apps.apple.com/app/idXXXXXXXXXX Static or dynamic (direct link)
Android app only Your Google Play listing https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.yourapp Static or dynamic (direct link)
Both iOS & Android (one printed code) A device-aware redirect that sends iPhones to the App Store and Android phones to Google Play Smart Redirect Rule by device (Pro) on a dynamic code Dynamic + smart redirect
App also on other stores (Amazon, Galaxy, Huawei) A single landing page that lists every store button Your own /download page, or a Multi-Links page Multi-Links
Closed beta / pre-launch testing The TestFlight (iOS) or Play internal-test invite https://testflight.apple.com/join/XXXXXXXX Dynamic: swap to the live link at launch
Web app or no native app yet Your install / sign-up page on the web https://yourapp.com/get-started Website URL

Tip: If you print on posters, packaging, or business cards, encode a dynamic QR code rather than the raw store URL. The printed code stays the same, but you can change the destination later, for example switching a TestFlight beta link to the public App Store page on launch day, or repointing to a new app ID, without reprinting anything. App-store URLs can change between versions and re-listings, so a dynamic code is the safer choice for anything that lives offline.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about App Store QR codes. Find answers about multi-platform support, tracking, and linking.

What is an App Store QR code?

An App Store QR code links directly to your app listing on Apple App Store or Google Play. When scanned, users go straight to the download page - one tap to install your app.

Can I link to both iOS and Android?

Yes! With smart link detection (Pro feature), your QR code can automatically redirect iOS users to the App Store and Android users to Google Play. One code for all platforms.

Does it work with Google Play Store?

Absolutely! You can link to any app on Google Play, Apple App Store, Amazon Appstore, or any other app marketplace. Just paste the app's store URL.

Can I track app downloads from QR scans?

With Pro analytics, you can track scans by location, device, and time. Combine this with your app store analytics to measure QR-driven downloads and campaign performance.

What if my app is on multiple stores?

Create separate QR codes for each store, or use a smart redirect link that detects the device and sends users to the right store automatically.

Can I update the app link later?

With dynamic QR codes (Pro feature), you can change the destination anytime. Great for A/B testing landing pages or updating to newer app versions.
