Email QR Code Generator
An email QR code opens the scanner's mail app with a new message already addressed, and optionally with a subject line and body text. People only have to press send. That makes it a low-friction way to collect feedback at a counter, take RSVPs, request a quote, or let customers reach support from a product insert. A pre-set subject such as 'Order 1042 – return request' also helps you sort incoming mail. QRPebble builds a standard mailto: link and percent-encodes spaces and punctuation, so line breaks and symbols in your message survive intact in most mail apps.
Static code: the data is encoded directly, so it never expires and is not tracked. Need to change the link after printing or count scans? Create a free dynamic code.
How to make it
- Enter the Recipient address that should receive the messages.
- Optionally add a Subject so you can filter replies later.
- Write any Message text the sender should start with, such as a template they can complete.
- Download, scan, and confirm the draft opens with all three fields filled.
What gets encoded
The payload is a mailto: URI: mailto:[email protected]?subject=Feedback&body=Hi%20there with query values percent-encoded and spaces written as %20 instead of +. When scanned, the phone hands the link to the default mail app. iOS Mail, Gmail and Outlook all accept subject and body parameters, though a few mail apps ignore the body. The sender still has to tap send; the QR code never sends anything by itself.
Where people use it
- Feedback cards at a restaurant or hotel desk
- RSVP requests on printed invitations
- Warranty or return requests in product packaging
- Contacting a lost-and-found or facilities team
Tips before you print
- Keep the body short; long messages lengthen the payload and make the code denser.
- Use a shared inbox rather than a personal address if the code will outlive a staff change.
- Put a line under the code such as 'Scan to email us' so people know an email will open.
- Test on a phone where a mail app is actually configured; phones without one may show an error.
FAQ
Does scanning send the email automatically?
No. It opens a draft, and the person decides whether to send it.
Can I add CC or BCC?
This generator supports recipient, subject and body. CC/BCC support also varies between mail apps.
What if someone has no email app?
The phone may say it can't open the link. Printing the address as text beside the code gives them a fallback.
