What is an Email QR Code?
An email QR code uses the mailto: protocol to pre-fill an email compose window when scanned. You set the recipient address, subject line, and even a draft body — the scanner just taps send. It removes every friction point between a customer wanting to contact you and actually doing it.

Email QR Code FAQ
What happens when someone scans an email QR code?
Their phone opens the default email app with the to, subject, and body fields pre-filled. They just tap send — or edit first if they want to.
Which email apps does it work with?
Any app that handles mailto: links — Apple Mail, Gmail, Outlook, Spark, and most other email clients on iOS and Android.
Can I leave the subject or body blank?
Yes — only the recipient address is required. Subject and body are optional.
Can I send to multiple recipients with one email QR code?
The mailto: standard supports multiple recipients separated by commas. Most email clients will accept this format when the QR is scanned.
Does an email QR code work without internet?
The QR code itself works offline — the phone scans and opens a draft email. Sending the email still requires an internet connection, of course.
What are the most common uses for email QR codes?
Customer feedback cards, event RSVPs, product review requests, support contact cards, and job application posters are all popular use cases.
