mail What is an email QR code?
An email QR code uses the standard mailto: URI scheme to open the device's email client with the recipient, subject and body already filled in. When scanned, the user just needs to press Send.
Works with any email client installed on the device: Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail and any other. It is ideal for business cards, contact forms in leaflets and offline email marketing campaigns.

quiz Frequently asked questions about email QR codes
The mailto: scheme is a standard recognised by all mobile and desktop operating systems. Works with Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, Yahoo Mail and any other client set as default on the device.
The subject and body you define appear pre-filled, but the user can edit them before sending. This allows personalising the email while maintaining the context of the enquiry.
The mailto: format allows multiple recipients separated by commas in the to field, or adding CC and BCC. However, for maximum compatibility between email clients, it is recommended to use a single primary recipient.
No. The email QR code is static and does not expire. The data is encoded directly in the code. If you change your email address, you will need to generate a new QR.
Note that anyone who scans the QR will see your email address. For use in public materials where you do not want to expose your personal email, consider using a generic contact address (info@, support@, etc.).
