Let people email you with one scan

An email QR code opens a new message in the scanner's mail app, already addressed to you and optionally with a subject and message filled in. It turns "email us at…" into a single tap, which is great for feedback, enquiries, support requests and sign-ups.

How it works

The code contains a mailto: link:

mailto:hello@example.com?subject=Product%20enquiry&body=Hi%2C%20I'd%20like%20to%20know%20more%20about...

Every major email app on iPhone and Android (Apple Mail, Gmail, Outlook) understands it.

Great uses

WherePre-filled subject example
Product packaging"Feedback on [product]"
Restaurant tables"Booking enquiry"
Event posters"Register me for [event]"
Equipment labels"Fault report: machine #42"
Real-estate signs"Viewing request for 12 High St"
Classroom handouts"Question about assignment 3"

Tip: a specific subject line lets you filter and route incoming messages automatically.

Best practices

  1. Use a shared inbox (e.g. hello@ or support@) rather than a personal address for printed material.
  2. Keep the body short, just a prompt the sender can complete.
  3. Test on iPhone and Android before printing.
  4. Mention what happens next to the code: "Scan to email us".

How to use the Email QR Code

  1. Fill in the details you want to encode.
  2. Customize the colors, dot style and size.
  3. Scan the preview with your phone to test it.
  4. Download the QR code as PNG or SVG.

Frequently asked questions

What happens when the code is scanned?

The phone offers to open its default email app with a new message addressed to you, including any subject and body you set. The person just taps Send.

Does it send the email automatically?

No. For privacy and security, the user always reviews and sends the message themselves.

Can I add multiple recipients?

Separate addresses with commas in the email field. Most mail apps support that in mailto links.

Why keep the message short?

Every character makes the code denser. Short subjects and messages keep it easy to scan.

Do the QR codes expire?

No. They are static QR codes with the data encoded directly, so they work forever.

Can I use them commercially?

Yes. The QR codes you generate are yours to use anywhere, including in print.
