How to Create a QR Code That Opens an Email
Generate a QR code that opens a pre-filled email with recipient, subject, and body text. One scan to send feedback or inquiries.
What Is an Email QR Code?
An email QR code uses the mailto: URI scheme to open the user's default email client with a pre-filled recipient address, subject line, and optional body text. When scanned, the email compose window opens immediately — the user just needs to tap Send.
This is useful for feedback collection, support requests, RSVP confirmations, and any scenario where you want to make it effortless for someone to email you.
How to Create an Email QR Code
Use our Email QR Code Generator. Enter the recipient email address, an optional subject line, and an optional body message. The tool generates a QR code using the mailto: format that works with all email clients.
The pre-filled subject line is especially useful for organizing incoming emails. For example: 'Feedback from [Event Name]' or 'Inquiry from QR code on business card' helps you sort and respond to messages efficiently.
Use Cases
Customer feedback: print on receipts or product packaging. Event RSVP: include on invitations with a pre-filled subject line. Support requests: display in-store or on product manuals. Job applications: add to recruitment flyers or career fair materials.
Email QR codes work universally because every smartphone has an email client. Unlike app-specific QR codes, there is no dependency on the user having a particular app installed.
