Email QR Code Generator

Create a QR code that opens a new email with the recipient, subject and body already filled in. Handy for enquiries, quote requests and job applications. Generated in your browser, nothing is uploaded.

This tool does not upload your files. Close the tab and nothing is left behind.

Higher levels survive damage better but make the code denser. Use H if you plan to place a logo on it.

Adding a logo locks error correction to H. Test-scan before printing.

Type something and the QR code will appear.

The shortest route to an enquiry email

An email address printed on a flyer or a shop window rarely turns into an email. People mistype one character, wonder what to put in the subject line, and give up. An email QR code collapses that into one camera gesture: scanning opens the mail app with the recipient, the subject and the first line of the body already in place, so the sender only adds their details and taps Send.

Choose a subject the receiving side can sort by, such as 'Quote request' or 'Job application'. Keep the body short. Every character makes the grid denser, and a few lines of text are enough to make a small printed code hard to read. One line asking for a name and phone number is plenty; if you need a long form, build a web form and point a URL QR code at it instead.

The code is drawn in your browser and nothing you type is sent to a server. Before printing, scan it on both an iPhone and an Android phone to confirm the mail app opens as expected. On devices where a work account is set as the default mail app a different app may open, so printing the address as plain text next to the code is a sensible fallback.

Frequently asked questions

What happens when someone scans it?
Their default mail app opens a new message with the recipient, subject and body filled in. They still press Send themselves.
Do I need a subject and body?
No, the address alone works. A fixed subject such as 'Quote request' does make incoming mail easier to sort.
Does a long body make the code harder to scan?
Yes. Every character adds to the grid, so keep the body to a line or two. For a long form, publish a web form and use a URL code instead.
Is the address stored anywhere?
No. The code is drawn in your browser and nothing you type is sent to a server.
