Quick answers

How to make an email QR code

Fill in the To, Subject, and Body fields, then download. Scanners get a mailto link that opens their email app with everything pre-filled.

How to do it

Switch to the Email tab, fill in the address, subject, and optional body text, then download PNG or SVG. The QR encodes a mailto: link.

Why use this tool

Your email details stay on your device. The QR is generated locally; no server processes your address or message content.

What scanners see

Most phones open the default email app with the To, Subject, and Body fields pre-filled. The user just taps Send. Not all QR readers handle the body field, so keep the subject informative.

Good uses for email QR

Support contact cards, event follow-up prompts, lead capture at trade shows, and any situation where you want someone to email you with minimal effort.

About email QR codes

An email QR code encodes a mailto: URI. When scanned, the phone opens the default email app with the recipient, subject, and body pre-filled. The user reviews and taps Send.

The mailto scheme is widely supported on both iOS and Android. Some older QR reader apps may only parse the address and skip the subject and body, so make the subject line descriptive enough to stand on its own.

Email QR codes are popular on business cards, event badges, and printed materials where you want to reduce friction between seeing a contact and sending an email.

Privacy and quality

Your data never leaves your device. The QR code is generated and rendered entirely in the browser, with no server, no upload, and no tracking.

No account, no sign-up, no watermark. Open the page, type your content, and download a clean PNG or SVG.

Works offline once loaded. After the first visit, the page runs without a network connection because all the logic is in JavaScript.

FAQ

Common questions

Does this upload my content anywhere?

No. QR payloads are generated in the browser using a client-side library and rendered on the page locally.

Which export should I choose?

SVG is best for print and scaling. PNG is easier for quick sharing in slides, docs, chats, and social posts.

Why did my QR stop rendering?

Very long content can exceed QR capacity. Shorten the text or lower the error correction level to fit more data.

What does error correction do?

Error correction adds backup data so the QR can still be read even when partly covered, damaged, or printed on a rough surface. Higher levels (Q, H) tolerate more damage but make the pattern denser. Medium (M) is a good default for most uses.
