An email QR code uses the mailto: scheme. When someone scans it, their default email app opens a new message with the address (and optionally the subject and body) already filled in. Useful for support links, RSVP forms, sales lead capture, and customer feedback.
Top use cases
- Customer support. Pre-populate "Re: support request" so emails are pre-tagged.
- Lead capture. Prospect scans → email opens → they only need to hit Send.
- Event RSVPs. Pre-fill the body with "Yes, I'll attend [Event]".
- Application forms. Job posting QR that opens a "Re: applying for X" email.
- Feedback channels. Suggestion box: scan to email, no typing required.

Make an email QRFrequently asked questions
Will it work with Gmail / Outlook on a phone?
Yes — both apps register as the default mailto handler and will open with the pre-filled fields.
How long can the body be?
There's no hard limit, but very long bodies make the QR matrix dense. Keep it under 200 characters for reliable scans.
Can I leave the body empty?
Yes. Leave the field blank and the email opens with just the address pre-filled.
