What is QR Code Generator Email?

Create QR codes that open a pre-filled email when scanned. Set the recipient, subject, and body text. The scanner's email app opens with everything ready to send.

The QR encodes a standard `mailto:` URI with the recipient, subject and body URL-encoded together. Phones with any default email app (Gmail, Apple Mail, Outlook) open a fresh compose window with all three fields prefilled. Brand it however you like: square, rounded, dotted or smooth modules, matching or separate corner markers, a solid or gradient fill, sizes from 128 up to 1024 pixels, four error-correction levels, an optional center logo and a caption printed under the code for flyers and packaging.

How to use

1. Enter the recipient email, then optional CC and BCC addresses, an optional subject line, and optional body text.
2. Style the code: pick the dot and corner shapes, a solid or gradient color fill, size up to 1024px, error-correction level, an optional center logo, and a caption to print beneath it.
3. Download the QR code as PNG or SVG, ready for print or digital use.

When to use

• Printing a help-desk QR on product packaging so customers reach support without typing.
• Adding a contact QR to a poster or flyer that drops the visitor into a pre-written enquiry.
• Restaurant or hotel room cards that open a feedback email already filled with the property name.

Result

Create a QR for 'support@acme.com' with subject 'Support Request' and body 'Please describe your issue:'. Print on product packaging for instant customer support.

FAQ

Which email apps open the prefilled message when scanned?

Any app registered as the system's mailto handler. On iOS that's usually Apple Mail or whichever app the user picked in Settings (Gmail, Outlook, Spark). On Android it's the chooser dialog that appears whenever a mailto link is tapped.

Will line breaks in the body text survive the QR encoding?

Yes. Newlines are URL-encoded as %0A, and modern email apps decode them back into real line breaks. The scanner sees a multi-line draft, not one squashed paragraph.

Should I worry about the subject and body being public?

Anyone can scan the code and read what's inside, so treat the subject and body as public. Don't include passwords, ticket numbers or anything you wouldn't print on a poster.

Why does my code become much denser when I add a long body?

QR capacity scales with how much you encode. A long body pushes the code to a higher version with more modules, making the pattern visually denser. Keep the body under about 200 characters to stay easy to scan from arm's length.

Does it support cc and bcc addresses too?

Yes. Add CC recipients in the CC field and silent copies in the BCC field. Both accept several addresses separated by commas, and each one is encoded into the mailto link as cc= or bcc=. The recipient stays the main To: address; CC and BCC are optional.
