Online Email QR Code, Ready in One Scan
An email QR code helps people contact you without typing the address. Set the recipient and subject, then print the code.
An email QR code uses a mailto link so the mail app opens with the recipient already filled in. This tool can also prefill a subject and message body. Create one with the QR code generator.
Where it works best
The code is useful on job posters, business cards, product packaging, and event materials. The person scanning does not need to copy a long address from a screen or a piece of paper.
- Use an active, official email address.
- Add a subject that explains the message.
- Keep any prefilled body text short.
- Test it in Gmail and Outlook on a phone.
Avoid misuse
Do not use an email QR code for spam campaigns or to collect data without consent. A static code cannot be changed, so check the address before printing. If the address changes, generate a new code and replace the old material.
Size and placement
Print the QR code at least 2 cm by 2 cm so a phone camera can read it easily. Leave clear space around the code and avoid glossy surfaces. For a large poster, scale it up to match the viewing distance.
