How to make a email QR code
- Enter the email address, and optionally a subject and a message that will be pre-filled.
- The QR code updates as you type. Check the encoded text under the code to confirm the details.
- Download it as PNG for screens and documents or SVG for print at any size, and test it with your phone camera before sharing.
Uses for email QR codes
An email QR code contains a mailto: link. When someone scans it, their phone opens a new email to your address with the subject and message already written, so all they have to do is press Send. That makes it easy to collect feedback on a product or at an event, request a brochure, report a fault on a machine or in a hotel room ("Room 214: problem with..."), enter a competition, or contact support from a printed manual.
A clear subject line helps you sort the replies, for example "Feedback: spring menu" or "Support: model X200". Keep the message short, since it adds to the size of the code. Remember that the email is sent from the scanner's own account, so they can see and edit it first.
The code is generated entirely in your browser by a built-in encoder, so the details you type are never uploaded, logged or tracked, and the QR code does not expire or redirect through a third-party service. Static codes like these work forever, but the content cannot be edited after printing, so double-check before you print a batch.
