App Store QR Code Generator

Asking people to search the App Store for your app is how they end up installing a competitor with a similar name. An App Store QR code sends them to your exact listing. Paste the apps.apple.com link from App Store Connect or from the Share button on your listing, and QRPebble checks that it really is an App Store URL before drawing the code. It suits packaging, in-store signage, restaurant table cards and the back of a business card. If you also ship on Android, make a Google Play code too and print both, clearly labelled.

Static code: the data is encoded directly, so it never expires and is not tracked. Need to change the link after printing or count scans? Create a free dynamic code.

How to make it

  1. Open your app's listing, tap Share and copy the link, or copy it from App Store Connect.
  2. Paste it into the App Store link field; it must contain apps.apple.com.
  3. Choose colours and size; an Apple-style black-on-white code is always safe.
  4. Download and scan it with an iPhone to confirm the App Store opens at your app.

What gets encoded

The payload is your apps.apple.com URL, for example https://apps.apple.com/us/app/your-app/id123456789. On an iPhone or iPad, the link opens the App Store app directly on the listing. On Android or desktop it opens Apple's web listing, which can't install anything. The numeric id is what identifies the app, and Apple typically redirects country and name segments to the right storefront. If you want a single code for both platforms, send people to your own landing page with a URL or dynamic code.

Where people use it

  • App download prompts on product packaging
  • Posters and table tents for a restaurant ordering app
  • Conference booth displays
  • Onboarding letters and printed welcome kits

Tips before you print

  • Label the code 'Download on the App Store' so Android users know to look for the Play code.
  • Remove campaign parameters you don't need; the id alone is enough and gives a simpler code.
  • Test on an iPhone with a different region setting if you sell internationally.

FAQ

What happens when an Android phone scans it?

It opens Apple's web listing, which can't install on Android. Print a Google Play code alongside it.

Can one QR code send iPhone and Android users to the right store?

Not as a static code. Link to a landing page with both badges, or use a dynamic code pointing to such a page.

Where do I find my App Store link?

Use the Share button on your App Store listing, or copy it from your app's page in App Store Connect.
