Email QR Code Generator
QR code that opens a pre-filled email in the recipient's default mail app.
How does an email QR code work?
An email QR code encodes a mailto: URL — when scanned, it opens the user's default mail app (Apple Mail, Gmail, Outlook) with the recipient pre-filled, and optionally with a subject line and body text. It's the easiest way to drive cold-email or feedback responses from a printed flyer, business card, or in-store sign. The mailto: spec is universal across iOS, Android, Windows, and macOS. Encoding is computed locally on your device — no signup, no upload, no tracking.
