Email QR Code
Generate email QR codes
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I create a QR code that opens an email?
Enter the recipient email address, subject line, and optional body text. The tool generates a QR code using the mailto: URI scheme. When scanned, it opens the user's default email app with the fields pre-filled, ready to send.
What information can I pre-fill in an email QR code?
To address (required), CC, BCC, subject line, and body text. Example URI: mailto:[email protected]?subject=Inquiry&body=Hello. The tool encodes all fields into the QR code. Recipients can edit the pre-filled content before sending.
Where should I use email QR codes?
Business cards (scan to email me). Product packaging (customer support). Event materials (RSVP). Posters and flyers (contact us). Receipts (feedback requests). They reduce friction by eliminating the need to type email addresses manually.
What is the maximum email body length in a QR code?
QR codes hold up to 4,296 alphanumeric characters, but keep email body under 200 characters for reliable scanning. Longer text creates denser QR codes that are harder to scan at small sizes. Use a brief message with a link for longer content.
Do email QR codes work on all devices?
Yes, on any device with a QR scanner and email client. iOS opens Mail, Android opens Gmail or default email app. The mailto: protocol is universally supported. Some camera apps scan QR codes natively without a separate app.
