App Download QR Code Generator — One Code for iOS and Android
Print one QR code instead of two. It automatically sends iPhone scanners to the App Store and Android scanners to the Play Store.

Add at least one. Scanning on iPhone opens the App Store link, on Android opens the Play Store link — only apps.apple.com, itunes.apple.com, and play.google.com URLs are accepted.

Why This Needs a Redirect, Not Just a Link
Most focused QR tools can encode their final payload directly in the QR pattern. App downloads need different behavior because the correct store depends on the scanning device, so this tool encodes a small device-aware redirect that chooses the supported App Store or Google Play link you entered. This app redirect is purpose-built for store selection; it is different from the optional managed dynamic URL QR feature available in the website QR tool.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does one QR code send different phones to different stores?
The QR code encodes a link to a small redirect page, not the store link directly. When someone scans it, that page checks the phone's browser identifier (User-Agent) — if it looks like an iPhone or iPad, it forwards to the App Store link you provided; if it looks like Android, it forwards to the Play Store link.
What happens if I only provide one store's link?
The QR code still works — every scan, regardless of device, is sent to whichever single link you provided. Add both when you have listings on both stores for a true 'one code fits all' link.
Can I use any link as the store URL?
No — only real App Store (apps.apple.com or itunes.apple.com) and Play Store (play.google.com) links are accepted. This is a deliberate restriction so the redirect can't be pointed at an arbitrary destination.
What happens if someone scans this on a desktop computer?
Since neither iOS nor Android is detected, the redirect falls back to whichever store link you provided — if both are set, it defaults to the iOS link.
Can one app QR code support both iPhone and Android?
Yes. This focused tool accepts supported App Store and Google Play links and uses a small device-aware redirect so scanners can be sent to the appropriate store destination.
What should I test before printing an app download QR?
Scan it on both iPhone and Android, confirm the correct official store listing opens, verify the publisher and app name, and test the final printed size rather than only the on-screen preview.
