Free Email QR Code Generator
This code contains a mailto link. Scanning opens the phone's email app with your address, subject and message ready to edit and send.

What should the code do?
Open a new email, pre-addressed.
Let’s make your QR code.
Fill in your details. Your preview updates as you type.
Make it yours optional
Your colours, your logo, your finishing touch.
Start from a design template (optional)
A template only sets colours, module shape, error-correction level and the wording around the code. Whatever you have typed stays exactly as it is, and you can change every part afterwards.
Colours & pattern (optional)
Higher levels recover from more damage but make the code denser. A centred logo needs Q or H.
Logo (optional)
Upload your logo
Add your brand to the centre of your QR code, or place it above or below. Always test the final code before printing.
PNG, JPG or WebP · Up to 2 MB · Stays on your device
Caption under the code & call-to-action (optional)
Printed below the symbol. Long text wraps onto up to four lines.
Captions and call-to-action bars are drawn outside the code, so the four-module quiet zone stays clear. Every download contains exactly the artwork shown in the preview.
How to make this code
- 1
Enter the address that should receive the mail.
- 2
Add a subject such as a reference or location so you can filter the replies.
- 3
Download and test — some in-app browsers block mailto links, so try it from the camera app.
Example: an email enquiry code
For a product enquiry, enter the mailbox you actually monitor, a subject such as “Question about product A”, and a short message asking the customer to describe their question. The code contains a mailto link. A compatible phone passes it to an email app with those fields prepared; the customer reviews the message and chooses whether to send it.
Test with a phone that has an email account configured. If scanning does nothing, open the decoded mailto link in a device with a default mail app. A scanner cannot create an email account, sign someone in or guarantee that every mail app will keep the subject and message. Keep the text brief and avoid asking for passwords or payment information.
Use a separate code for each department if the recipient must differ. An email address printed in a static code cannot be replaced later. If your support address changes often, a URL code pointing to a contact page you control will be easier to maintain.
Check the exported file before printing
Download the format you will actually use, then scan that exported file. Confirm the destination or decoded content, rather than only checking that the scanner recognises a square. A successful preview does not tell you whether a printed copy will stay readable after resizing, lamination or placement behind glass.
Keep the light border around the symbol clear and use strong contrast between the code and its background. If you add a logo, test again with the logo in place. Avoid stretching the image or cropping its edges to fit a design. Print one proof at the final size and scan it from the distance customers will use, in the lighting where it will be displayed.
Use the QR size calculator to plan the physical size, the printing guide for material and export advice, or the scanner to inspect an image. If a code fails, try a larger size and a simpler dark-on-light design before printing a batch.
Keep a copy of the final image and the details you encoded with your print artwork. Give the file a recognisable name so you do not accidentally reuse an older code when reordering signs or business cards. After a reprint, scan one of the new copies again.
Frequently asked questions
Does it send the email by itself?
No. It only opens a draft. The person scanning must press send.
Why does nothing happen on some phones?
The device needs a configured mail app. On a phone with no mail account set up, a mailto link has nowhere to go.
Which download format is best for printing?
SVG is a true vector file: a printer or designer can scale it to any size without losing edge quality, so it is the best thing to hand to a print shop. The PDF here places a high-resolution image of the same artwork on the paper size you choose, which suits home and office printing at that size. PNG is for screens and for systems that only accept images. Whichever you pick, print one copy at the final size and scan that copy yourself before ordering a batch — no format can guarantee a scan on a given printer, material or light.
