How it works

What is an email QR code?

An email QR code is a scannable code that encodes a mailto: link. When someone scans it with their phone, their default email app opens with the recipient address, subject line, and body text already filled in - no typing required.

Unlike a QR code that links to a website, an email QR code triggers the email app directly. The person scanning doesn't need to search for your contact details, open their email client, or start from a blank message. Everything is pre-set and ready to send.

Email QR codes work particularly well on printed materials - business cards, flyers, product packaging, and event invitations - where you want to make it as easy as possible for someone to get in touch.

How to create an email QR code - 3 steps

Using the free QR email generator above takes under a minute:

  1. Enter the recipient email address. This is the only required field - everything else is optional.
  2. Pre-fill the subject line and body text. Adding these reduces friction and increases the chance the message actually gets sent.
  3. Customise and download. Adjust colours and dot style to match your brand, then download as PNG or SVG - free, no account needed.
How email QR codes reduce friction

Scan. Draft sent.

An email QR code opens the scanner's default mail app - Apple Mail, Gmail, or Outlook - with the recipient address, subject line, and message body already filled in. The user only has to press send. Pre-filling matters most when the message needs structure: a warranty registration with a product code in the subject, a feedback request routed to the right inbox, or an RSVP with the event name pre-written. Use it on packaging, receipts, and invitations where a blank email would stall people at "what do I write?"

Customer feedback forms

Print a QR on receipts or packaging to prompt feedback. Scanning opens a pre-addressed email with 'How was your experience?' already written.

Support and returns

Direct customers to your support inbox with subject and order number fields pre-filled, reducing incomplete or misdirected support requests.

Event RSVP

Place a QR code on invitations so recipients can RSVP by scanning - the email draft has subject 'RSVP: [Event Name]' ready to send.

Business card follow-up

Add an email QR to business cards with a pre-filled subject like 'Following up from [Conference]' so new contacts can reach you with one tap.

Printed advertising

Include a 'Get a quote' or 'Request a callback' QR code on flyers and posters. The recipient and subject are pre-set so conversion is one scan away.

Product registration

Encourage warranty or product registration by linking a QR code to a pre-filled registration email. Faster than a web form on mobile.

Yes. The QR code uses a standard mailto: URI which every major smartphone recognises. On iPhone it opens Apple Mail or the user's default email app. On Android it opens Gmail or whichever email client the user has set as default. It also works on desktop computers that have an email client configured.
Yes. The email QR code generator lets you set the recipient email address, subject line, and body text. When someone scans the code, their default email app opens with all three fields already populated.
The QR code uses a mailto: URI, which opens the device's default email app. On iPhone that is typically Apple Mail; on Android it is Gmail or whichever app the user has set as default. It works with all major email clients.
No. Scanning opens a draft in the email app with fields pre-filled. The user must tap Send themselves. This is by design - automatic email sending from QR codes is not possible without a dedicated app.
Technically a QR code can store a large amount of text, but longer content creates denser, harder-to-scan codes. Keep body text concise - a sentence or two - for best results. The subject line should be under 100 characters.
The generator is designed for a single recipient address. For multiple recipients you could use a mailing list alias or group email address as the recipient field.
No. The QR code encodes the recipient address, subject, and body you specify. The sender details come from the email app on the scanning device - the QR code cannot pre-fill the From field.
