How do I create an email QR code?

Enter the email address you want users to contact, add an optional subject line or message template, generate the QR code, and download it for print or digital use.

What happens when someone scans an email QR code?

Their device usually opens the default email app or mail flow with a new draft addressed to you. The exact experience depends on the user’s device and email app setup.

Should I use an email QR code or a contact form QR code?

Use an email QR code when direct messaging is the goal. Use a [link QR code](/link-qr-code) when you need a form, landing page, routing rules, or a more guided conversion flow. If the response should happen in the messaging app instead, an [SMS QR code](/sms-qr-code) may be a better fit.

Create an Email QR Code That Starts the Message for Users

An email QR code opens a ready-to-send email draft with the recipient address already filled in, and sometimes a subject line or message template too. It is a simple way to help people contact you from posters, packaging, printed forms, events, and support materials.

Why use an email QR code?

Email QR codes are helpful when you want a low-friction contact method without sending people to a full website or form. They work well for customer support, partnership inquiries, bookings, requests for quotes, and internal handoff flows.

Open a pre-addressed email draft

The QR code can launch the user’s email app with your address already filled in, which removes the need to type or copy the contact email manually.

Prefill the subject or message template

You can include a subject line and, in many cases, starter text so users know what to send and your team receives more consistent inquiries.

Use it on print, packaging, and support materials

Email QR codes fit well on flyers, instruction cards, receipts, packaging inserts, event signage, and service documents where a contact option should be easy to find.

Where email QR codes are most useful

An email QR code works best when users may want to contact you later but need a quick way to start the message while they are already engaged.

Add an email QR code to product packaging, manuals, warranty cards, or service counters so customers can quickly start a support email.
