How to make a QR code for your app
- Paste your link — the App Store or Google Play listing, or your website.
- Choose colors and a style. Keep the foreground dark and the background light.
- Add your logo if you like; error correction is raised automatically.
- Download a PNG for screens or an SVG for print, and test-scan it with your phone.
Where to find your store links
- App Store:
https://apps.apple.com/app/idYOUR_APP_ID— the numeric ID is in App Store Connect under App Information. - Google Play:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.your.package
Tips for QR codes that scan every time
- Print it at least 2 × 2 cm (about 0.8 inch), bigger if it will be scanned from a distance.
- Leave a quiet zone — the empty border around the code is part of the design.
- Shorter links make simpler codes that scan more easily.
- Always test with both an iPhone and an Android phone before printing.
Frequently asked questions
Do these QR codes expire?
No. They are static QR codes: the link is stored inside the code itself, so it works forever and doesn't depend on our website. Many "free" QR sites use redirect links that stop working when a trial ends — these don't.
Can I use one QR code for both the App Store and Google Play?
A QR code can only hold one link. The usual approach is to point it at a page on your website that detects the visitor's device and redirects to the right store, or to a landing page with both store badges.
Will adding a logo break the QR code?
Not if the logo is small. When you add a logo the generator automatically switches to the highest error correction level (H), which lets up to about 30% of the code be covered. Always test-scan before printing.
PNG or SVG — which should I download?
Use SVG for print (posters, packaging, business cards) because it scales to any size without blurring. Use PNG for websites, social media and documents.
What colors can I use?
Use a dark foreground on a light background with strong contrast. Inverted codes (light on dark) and low-contrast colors may not scan on some phones.
