Indie developers need a scannable link to their App Store listing on posters, business cards, and conference booths. Hosted QR SaaS charges ~$49/month for encoding a static URL; you can generate the same PNG locally for free.
Get your App Store URL
- Open your app on the App Store
- Copy the full HTTPS URL from the browser bar
Examples:
https://apps.apple.com/app/id1234567890
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/your-app-name/id9876543210
Encode the full HTTPS URL. iPhone cameras open the App Store directly — one scan, straight to download.
Tip: print the QR on conference booth banners, business cards, and product packaging so users install without typing.
Why indie devs care
Social bio links get buried. A printed QR on your booth sign, sticker sheet, or flyer back cover turns a glance into an install — no account required for the scanner.
