Email QR Code Generator
Generate a QR code that opens a ready-to-send email on any device. Pre-fill the recipient address, subject line, and message body — so people can reach you in one scan without typing a thing.

One-click color themes. You can further customise after picking a preset.
Keep strong contrast between foreground and background for reliable scanning.
Place a logo at the center of the QR code. Error correction is automatically set to High when a logo is added.
Wrap the QR code in a frame with optional text to encourage scanning.
Text displayed on the frame (e.g. "Scan Me", "Get Discount", "View Menu").
Pixel dimensions. Larger = better for print.
Higher = more resilient. Use H with logos.
How It Works
Enter Email Details
Fill in the recipient email address. You can also pre-fill the subject line and message body to save the sender time and guide the conversation.
Generate Your QR Code
The tool creates a QR code using the standard mailto: format. When scanned, it opens the default email app with all the fields already filled in.
Place It Where It Matters
Download the QR code and add it to business cards, product inserts, feedback cards, or support pages. Anyone who scans it is one tap away from emailing you.
Popular Use Cases
Customer Support
Print a QR code on your packaging or receipts that opens an email to your support team. Pre-fill the subject with "Support Request" so tickets are easy to organize.
Feedback Collection
Place QR codes at checkout counters or on receipts. Customers scan, and an email draft opens with a subject like "Feedback for [Your Business]" — making it effortless to share their thoughts.
Business Cards
Instead of hoping people remember your email, put a QR code on your card. One scan and they have a draft email ready to send you — your address already filled in correctly.
Event RSVPs
Include a QR code on invitations that opens an email with the subject "RSVP — [Event Name]" and a body prompting guests to confirm attendance and meal preferences.
Job Applications
Post a QR code on recruitment flyers that opens a pre-addressed email to your HR team with a subject line like "Application for [Position]" so candidates can attach their resume and hit send.
Newsletter Sign-ups
Create a QR code that drafts an email to your subscription address. The body can say "Subscribe me to the newsletter" — simple opt-in with no forms to fill out.
Tips for Best Results
- Keep the subject line helpful. A pre-filled subject like "Question about Order #___" gives people a starting point and helps you sort incoming emails faster.
- Write a short body template. Suggest what information the sender should include — "Please describe your issue and include your order number" gets you useful emails instead of vague ones.
- Double-check the email address. A typo in the address means every scan sends to the wrong inbox. Test the QR code yourself before printing anything.
- Use a monitored inbox. Point the QR code to an email address that someone actually checks regularly. A fancy QR code is useless if replies sit unread for weeks.
- Consider spam filters. If you expect volume, make sure your email provider can handle the inflow without flagging legitimate messages as spam.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which email apps does this work with?
Email QR codes use the standard mailto: protocol, which is supported by virtually every email client — Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, Yahoo Mail, Thunderbird, and others. When someone scans the code, their phone opens whichever email app they have set as their default and fills in the details you specified.
Can I pre-fill the CC or BCC fields too?
The basic mailto: format supports CC and BCC parameters, but most QR code generators — including this one — focus on the recipient, subject, and body fields for simplicity. If you need CC/BCC, you could manually construct the full mailto: URI and encode it as a text or URL QR code instead.
Will this send the email automatically when someone scans it?
No. Scanning the QR code only opens a draft email with the fields pre-filled. The person still has to review and tap "Send" themselves. This is by design — it would be a serious security problem if QR codes could send emails without user consent.
Is there a character limit for the email body?
There is no hard limit in the mailto: standard, but remember that everything gets encoded into the QR code pattern. A long body creates a dense, harder-to-scan code. Keep the body under 100 characters or so — just enough to guide the sender. They can always add more detail before hitting send.
