How to make a QR code for an app download
A QR code that opens your app's store listing turns a poster, flyer, or package into an install button. Point it at the store link and scanning takes people straight to Download.
Create the code
- Copy your app's App Store or Google Play listing URL.
- In Scan QR Code Master, open My Codes and create a New Code with the Type set to URL.
- Paste the store link and generate the code.
- Test it on a phone to confirm it opens the store page.
One code for both stores
If you want a single code that sends iPhone users to the App Store and Android users to Google Play, point the code at a landing page or 'smart' link that detects the device and redirects. That way one printed code serves everyone.
FAQ
- Can one QR code work for both iOS and Android?
- Yes, if it points to a page or link that redirects each device to the right store. A direct App Store link opens only the App Store, so use a smart link when you need one code for both platforms.
