Quick answer
An email QR code uses a mailto link. Scanning it opens the phone’s email app with the address, subject and body you chose, so people only need to tap send.
When to use an email QR code
Collect feedback, quote requests, support tickets, event RSVPs and contest entries without asking people to type an address.
How the email code works
The code contains a mailto link with the address, and optionally a subject and message. Scanning it opens the phone’s email app with everything filled in, ready to send.
A prefilled subject makes incoming messages easy to sort, for example “Quote request – van sign” or “Feedback – table 12”.
If nothing happens after scanning
The person needs an email app set up on their phone. If they only use webmail in a browser, the phone may ask which app to use or do nothing. For a wide public audience, a website contact form can be the more reliable option.
Questions, answered
Which email apps work?
Any app registered for email on the phone, such as Gmail, Outlook or Apple Mail.
Is the email sent automatically?
No. The person sees the draft and decides whether to send it.
Is this QR code generator really free?
Yes. Creating and downloading static QR codes is free, with no account, no trial and no limit on the number of codes. A small QRflick credit is added under the code.
Do these QR codes expire?
No. Static QR codes never expire and have no scan limit. A website code keeps working as long as the website is online.
Can I add my logo to a QR code for free?
Yes. Upload a PNG, JPG, WebP or SVG logo in the Logo section. It stays in your browser, and the error correction is raised automatically so the code remains scannable.
