Email QR Code Generator

How to use

1. 1Enter the recipient address in the To field. Separate multiple recipients with commas, semicolons, or new lines. The "Name <addr>" form is accepted; only the address is used in the mailto URI.
2. 2Optionally type a Subject and Body. Line breaks in the body are encoded as CRLF (%0D%0A) so mail clients render the message exactly as composed.
3. 3Click Add cc or bcc if you need extra recipients. Skip Bcc on printed materials because the entire mailto URI is plain text and anyone who scans the QR can read it.
4. 4Pick an Error correction level (L, M, Q, or H). Use H if the QR will be printed small or on a surface that may get smudged or partially covered.
5. 5Adjust the foreground and background colors, module size, and quiet zone width to fit the look of your card or poster. Keep enough contrast for reliable scanning.
6. 6Click Test link to open the mailto URI in your own mail client and verify the compose action, then Download PNG or Download SVG to grab the QR. Copy SVG markup is handy for inlining the code into a print template.

About this tool

Email QR Code Generator turns an email address (plus optional subject, body, cc, and bcc) into a printable QR code that opens the device's default mail app pre-filled with the message. The payload is an RFC 6068 compliant mailto URI of the form mailto:to@example.com?subject=...&body=...&cc=...&bcc=..., which iOS Camera, Android Camera, and every modern scanner app recognize. The To field accepts comma, semicolon, or newline-separated addresses and the common "Name <addr>" display form. Every address is run through a pragmatic syntax check before it is used, so a typo gets flagged before the QR is printed. Subject and body are percent-encoded per RFC 6068, including the small set of reserved characters (!*'()) that encodeURIComponent leaves alone, and body line breaks are normalized to CRLF the way mail clients expect, so the scanned message renders exactly as composed. The encoder bundled with this site supports versions 1 to 40 and all four error-correction levels (L, M, Q, H); pick a higher level if the QR will be printed small, laminated, or placed on a surface that may be smudged or partially covered. Foreground and background colors can be picked with the color wells or typed as hex; the module size and quiet-zone width are adjustable so a poster QR and a business-card QR can both render crisply. The encoded payload is shown live alongside the version, module count, ECC level, and character count, with a Test link button so you can verify the compose action on your own device before printing. Three one-click presets cover the most common scenarios: a customer support card, a business-card hello, and a restaurant feedback prompt. The tool also surfaces a soft warning when the URI grows past the Outlook (~2 KB) and Gmail web (~8 KB) clipping thresholds, because a QR code that decodes to a truncated link is the single most common failure mode for poster-style email QR codes. Useful for business cards, support posters, restaurant feedback prompts, event check-in cards, conference badges, lost-and-found tags, classroom contact sheets, charity donation appeals, and any printed surface where a one-tap email is more helpful than a typed address. Everything runs locally in your browser; the address, subject, body, and rendered QR never leave the device.
