Technical notes
An app link QR code encodes the URL of an app store page or a deep link. When a user scans it, the app page opens in the App Store or Google Play; this shortens the download step and enables installs from ads and packaging.
The practical way to reach both iOS and Android from one QR is to encode the URL of a 'landing' page that detects the device and redirects to the correct store. A direct App Store link suits iOS only, a direct Play link suits Android only; a shared redirect page serves both platforms from one code.
Deep links take the user to a specific screen or content if the app is already installed; if it isn't, behavior varies by platform and link type, so it's important to design a fallback (store) redirect.
This tool makes a static QR; you manage the target link and any redirect logic. To point only to social profiles, see the social media QR code generator, and for general content the QR code generator.
Frequently asked questions
Yes, but not with a direct store link. Encode the URL of a landing page that detects the device and redirects to the right store; then one QR serves both platforms.
