Why use an app QR code?

Practical guidance for creating, testing, publishing, and maintaining this type of QR code.

Connect campaigns to app pages

A QR code can bridge posters, packaging, events, and product inserts to an app's download or information page.

Reduce manual store searching

A direct destination saves users from searching an app name and potentially opening the wrong result.

Support device-specific links

If your campaign has separate Android and iPhone destinations, use the appropriate URLs for your workflow.

Make app promotion measurable through your own setup

The QR code can point to a landing page or store URL that you control, subject to your analytics and privacy setup.

How to create your QR code

1. Choose the App option or URL workflow in the QR Code Generator.

2. Enter the correct app download, store, or landing-page URL.

3. If you use separate Android and iPhone destinations, decide whether your campaign needs separate codes or a dedicated routing page.

4. Generate and test the QR code on the phones and operating systems your audience uses.

5. Download the final code and place it on your campaign, packaging, poster, or event material.

Best practices and useful tips

What should an app QR code point to?

It can point to an app store listing, a platform-specific download page, or a landing page that helps visitors choose the correct platform.

Why test on multiple phones?

Store links and app-routing behavior can differ by operating system. Testing on representative Android and iPhone devices helps catch incorrect destinations.

What should printed campaigns say?

A short instruction such as “Scan to get the app” makes the purpose clear. If the code routes to a landing page, explain what users will see after scanning.
