Free Email QR Code Generator
Create a QR code that opens a pre-filled email when scanned. Set the recipient address, subject line, and body text. One scan and your customer's email app opens with everything ready to send.
What Is an Email QR Code?
An email QR code encodes a mailto: link with your email address, subject line, and body text. When someone scans it, their phone opens the default email app with everything pre-filled. They just tap send.
This removes the friction of typing your email address, remembering what to put in the subject line, or composing a message from scratch.
Common Uses for Email QR Codes
- Customer feedback — place on receipts or packaging: "Scan to share your experience"
- Support requests — pre-fill the subject with "Support Request" so messages get routed correctly
- Event follow-ups — "Scan to email us about partnership opportunities"
- Job applications — "Scan to send your resume" with the subject pre-set to the role
- RSVP collection — "Scan to RSVP" with body text that says "I'll be attending [event name]"
- Print advertising — direct response via email instead of a landing page

Tips for Better Email QR Codes
Pre-fill the subject line. This helps you filter and organize incoming emails. "Feedback from [Store Name]" is better than a blank subject.
Keep the body text short. The body is a starting point, not the full message. A simple "Hi, I'd like to..." gives the sender context without being presumptuous.
Add a clear call-to-action. Next to the QR code, write something like "Scan to email us" or "Questions? Scan to get in touch." A QR code without context gets ignored.
Test on both iOS and Android. Email QR codes open the default mail app, which varies by device. Make sure it works on both.
