Email QR Code: Pre-addressed Emails
Create an email QR code so people scan to open a pre-addressed email with subject and body — support, feedback, and lead-gen forms. Free, customizable, SVG & PNG export.
How to make a email qr code
1. Open the email QR generator
Go to QRForge’s email QR code generator. Everything runs in your browser — your address and message are never uploaded.
2. Enter the address, subject and body
Type the recipient email address, a short subject line, and an optional pre-filled message body (e.g. a support request template or a feedback prompt). Keep it short for a cleaner code.
3. Style and download
Pick colors and a logo, choose error-correction level H if you add a logo, then download SVG for print or PNG for screens and place it where customers can scan.
Tips for reliable email qr codes
- Keep the pre-filled subject and body short — long mailto: strings make denser codes that are harder to scan small.
- Use a clear call to action next to the code, e.g. “Scan to email support”.
- Use error-correction level H when you add a logo so the code stays scannable.
- Test with both iPhone and Android — some email apps handle mailto: slightly differently, especially the subject and body fields.
Frequently asked questions
What does an email QR code do?
It encodes a mailto: link. Scanning opens the email app with the recipient, subject and body pre-filled, ready for the user to review and send.
Does the email send automatically?
No. Scanning opens the email app with the fields pre-filled; the user reviews it and taps send. Nothing is sent without their confirmation.
Email QR vs vCard QR — which should I use?
Use an email QR when you want people to send you a message (support, feedback, leads). Use a vCard QR when you want them to save your full contact card to their phone. They serve different goals.
Do all scanners support mailto: QR codes?
Most modern phone cameras and QR apps open mailto: links, but behavior varies. A few scanners only preview the text instead of opening the email app — test on the devices your audience uses.
