OPENS THE MAIL APP, PRE-FILLED

Email QR code generator

One scan opens a new email addressed to you, with the subject already written. Nobody mistypes your address.

An email QR code stores a mailto: link with the address, and optionally a subject and body, so a phone opens a ready-written email.

Add the content
A pre-filled subject tells you which poster or leaflet the enquiry came from.
Style this code
Style this code — colour, shape, branding, frame and output
Colour & contrastThe ink, the paper behind it, and the three eyes. Every choice is contrast-checked as you make it.
Foreground
18.0:1 against the background — clears the 4.5:1 a camera wants margin on.
Background
Eye colours
ShapeHow the squares are drawn. The three eyes are styled apart from the data, because a scanner finds the code by them.
Modules
Every shape here is decode-tested before it is offered. Shapes that lose the symbol — diamond, star, heart — are not on this list, however good they look.
Eye frame
Eye centre
BrandingYour mark on the code. Every picture here costs scanability — the notes say how much, and the preview is the truth.
Logo image
PNG, JPEG or WebP, up to 2MB. The modules beneath it are cleared and error correction rises to cover the hole.
Background picture
Sits behind the modules, quiet zone included. A busy picture is the classic reason a decorated code stops scanning — check the preview with a phone before printing.
Foreground texture
Washes over the ink itself, so it is capped well below full strength — at full strength there is no code left to scan.
Frame & captionA border and a line of text around the code — the "scan me" that tells a passer-by what it is for.
Frame style
A frame is drawn outside the quiet zone, never into it — the canvas grows instead, so the border cannot cost the code its margin.
OutputWhat comes out of the download buttons, and what the symbol actually carries.
Options
Automatic picks the smallest encoding that carries your text, and is right almost always. The other three exist for older scanners that expect one specific encoding; each refuses text it cannot carry rather than mangling it. Encodings we cannot convert to correctly are not offered at all.The margin never goes below 4 — ISO/IEC 18004's minimum; smaller is not a QR code. A logo raises error correction to at least Q. Encoding is chosen by the encoder per symbol and shown in the readout — a manual charset menu only makes codes bigger.
Embedded datamailto:orders@example.com?subject=Catering%20enquiryThe exact text the symbol carries — what any scanner will read out.

Print-ready PDF

A press file at the finished size: 3mm bleed, crop marks and a trim box a print shop’s checks read. The code is drawn black on white whatever the design above — how a colour prints is something only a test print can show.

Use the subject as a tracker

A static email code has no analytics — but the subject line does the same job. Put the location or campaign in it ("Catering enquiry — Andheri standee") and your inbox tells you which printed asset is working.

Keep the body short or leave it out

A pre-filled body is supported, but every character grows the code. Long template text pushes the version high enough that the code stops printing well on a business card. Subject-only is usually the right trade.

Where it beats a URL

For enquiries, quotes and support, an email code removes a step — no landing page, no form, no consent banner. The reply arrives in a thread you already know how to handle.

Email QR code questions

Which mail app opens?

Whichever is the phone default — Gmail, Apple Mail, Outlook. The mailto: format is handled natively by all of them.

Can I pre-fill the message body?

Yes, but it adds bytes fast. Keep it to one short line if you use it at all.

Is my email address visible to scanners?

Yes — it is in the code, which is the point. If you want it hidden, use a hosted contact form instead.

Can I track opens?

Not with a static code. Use a dynamic URL code pointing at a form if you need scan analytics.
