Create a free dynamic QR codeWhat is an email QR code — and how to use one
An email QR code encodes a mailto: link — a standard web protocol that opens the phone's default email app with the recipient address pre-filled. When someone scans it, they land on a new message ready to send. No typing your address, no copying it wrong, no friction between their intention and reaching you.
Enter your email address in the field above. Optionally add a subject line — for example, "Product enquiry" or "Support request" — and it appears pre-filled in the subject field when someone scans. Download the PNG when the preview looks correct.
Email QR code use cases: Conference and trade-show booths (visitors scan to email you instead of filling in a paper form), printed support documentation (scan to email the support team with a pre-filled subject), job application posters on campus or notice boards (scan to send a CV without mistyping an address), feedback request cards included with orders (customers scan to reply with their experience), and printed brochures (scan to request a quote with a pre-filled subject line that identifies the campaign).
Privacy note: Your email address is encoded directly into the QR code pattern and can be extracted by anyone who analyses the image. For public-facing codes on signage or packaging, consider using a dedicated enquiry address (e.g. hello@yourdomain.com) rather than a personal inbox.
The code above is static — email address and subject are baked in permanently. To change the address or subject without reprinting, or to measure how many people scan and email you from each piece of print, use a QRPulse dynamic code pointing to a contact form. See our QR code analytics guide for how businesses track engagement across printed materials.
