Free App Download QR Code Generator
Point people to your app on both iOS and Android — no single link can reliably send an iPhone to the App Store and an Android phone to Google Play, so this tool generates a correctly-labeled code for each store.
Enter at least one store link. Add both to get a separate, correctly-labeled code for each platform.

What Is an App Download QR Code?
An app download QR code links directly to your app's store listing so people can scan and install it without searching for your app by name. The catch: iPhone and Android use completely different app stores with different URLs, and a single QR code can only encode one URL. Scan a Google Play link on an iPhone and it simply won't open the right place.
This tool solves that the same way real-world print materials do — by generating a separate, clearly labeled code for each platform, so you print (or display) whichever ones apply and people scan the one that matches their phone.
How to Create an App Download QR Code
- Get your store links: from App Store Connect (or just your app's public App Store page) and the Google Play Console (or your app's public Play Store page).
- Paste one or both links: the tool checks each field and warns you if a link looks like it's in the wrong box.
- Generate: you'll get one code per platform you provided, each labeled and independently downloadable.
- Scan-test each code on the matching device before printing or publishing.
Why Not Just One "Smart" Code?
Some services offer a single QR code that redirects based on the scanning device. To do that, the code has to point to a hosted redirect page first — which means a persistent server, an account, and often a recurring fee, since a database has to keep working indefinitely to keep every printed code functional. This tool stays free and has nothing to maintain by using the same two-code approach professional print designers already use: put both codes on your design, labeled by platform, and let people scan the right one. It's one extra code, not an ongoing dependency.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this app QR code generator free?
Yes. Generating and downloading app download QR codes with this tool is completely free, with no account required.
Do I need both an iOS and Android link?
No — enter just one if your app is only on one platform. Add both to get a separate code for each.
Can I combine both codes into one image?
Yes — once both codes are generated, use "Download Both as One Image" to get a single graphic with both codes and labels, ready to drop into a poster or packaging design.
What if I only have my app's website, not a direct store link?
Use the direct App Store or Play Store listing URL if at all possible — it takes people straight to the install button. If you only have a general landing page, the URL QR Code Generator works for that instead.
Is my data sent to a server?
No. Both QR codes are generated entirely in your browser using JavaScript.
