A scannable shortcut to a prefilled email
Typing an email address from a poster or business card is error-prone, and a single wrong character means the message never arrives. An email QR code removes that friction: one scan opens a ready-to-send draft addressed to exactly the right inbox, with the subject and message already filled in.
How it works
The tool builds a standard mailto URI from your inputs — mailto: followed by the recipient, then URL-encoded subject and body parameters — and renders it as a QR code. Only the recipient is required; the subject and message are optional and only added when you fill them in. When someone scans the code, their phone recognises the mailto link and opens the default mail app with everything prefilled, leaving the final tap-to-send to them.
Example
Enter recipient [email protected], subject Help request and message Hi, I need help with.... The encoded link becomes:
mailto:[email protected]?subject=Help%20request&body=Hi%2C%20I%20need%20help%20with...
Scanning it opens a draft to that address with the subject and body already in place.
| Field | Required | Goes into the mailto |
|---|---|---|
| Recipient | Yes | address after mailto: |
| Subject | No | ?subject= parameter |
| Message | No | &body= parameter |
