QR codes that start an email
An email QR code uses the mailto: format. Scanning it opens the phone’s mail app with your address already filled in, so contacting you takes a single tap, great for business cards, flyers, and signage.
You can pre-fill a subject too by extending the link, e.g. mailto:you@example.com?subject=Hello. Replace the address in the template with your own and generate.
Format: mailto:hello@example.com?subject=Hello
Frequently asked questions
Can I pre-fill the subject line?
Yes. Add ?subject=Your+Subject after the address in the template before generating.
Does it reveal my email publicly?
Anyone who scans the printed code sees the address, just like printing it directly. Use it where that is intended.
