Everything About Email QR Codes

What is an Email QR Code?

An email QR code encodes a mailto: URI that opens the user's default email client with pre-filled fields. You can set the recipient address, subject line, and body text. When scanned, it instantly composes a draft email ready to send.

Common Use Cases

  • Customer support — one scan to contact you
  • Business cards with email contact
  • Feedback collection on printed materials
  • Event RSVP via email
  • Newsletter signup on posters and flyers

Best Practices

  • Keep the subject short and clear
  • Use a monitored email address as recipient
  • Test the QR code with different email apps
  • Include a brief body template to guide users
  • Print at a scannable size (min 2cm × 2cm)

Things to Avoid

  • Don't use very long body text (increases QR density)
  • Don't include sensitive info in the body
  • Don't use multiple recipients for simplicity
  • Don't invert colors (dark bg, light fg)
  • Don't rely on formatting in the body text
FAQ

Email QR Code Questions

An email QR code encodes a mailto: link. When scanned, it opens the device's default email app with the recipient, subject, and body pre-filled. The user simply reviews and taps send. No typing required.

Yes! You can set a default subject line and body text. These fields are optional but highly useful for guiding users. For example, you can pre-fill "Feedback for Product X" as the subject so you know exactly what the email is about.

No. The QR code only opens a draft email in the user's email app. The user must review and manually tap the send button. This gives them full control over the message before sending.

The mailto: protocol is universally supported. It works with Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, Yahoo Mail, Thunderbird, and virtually every email client on both mobile and desktop. The device uses whatever app is set as the default email handler.

Yes. Click "Add CC / BCC" to reveal additional fields. CC recipients are visible to all, while BCC recipients are hidden. Both are encoded in the mailto: URI and pre-filled when the email app opens.

Technically, the mailto: URI is limited by the QR code's data capacity (up to ~2,953 bytes). However, for best scanning reliability, keep the body under 200 characters. Longer text makes the QR code denser and harder to scan at small sizes.
