How an email QR code works

An email QR code encodes a mailto: link — for example mailto:help@example.com?subject=Support%20request. Scanning it opens the phone's default mail app with the recipient, subject line, and message body already filled in. The person still reviews the draft and taps send themselves; nothing is sent automatically.

That one-scan-to-draft flow removes the most common failure point of "email us at…" signage: mistyped addresses. It's a natural fit for support desks, feedback posters, RSVP cards, job applications, warranty registrations, and review requests.

Prefilling the subject and body

Only the address is required. A prefilled subject lets you route or filter replies automatically ("Feedback — Store #12"), and a prefilled body can prompt for exactly the details you need ("Order number: "). Reticle URL-encodes both for you. Keep them brief — every character makes the code denser, and the scanability tag under the preview will warn you when it's getting heavy.

Printing tips

Print at least 2 cm square with strong contrast, and bump error correction to Q or H for anything laminated or handled. Test the printed code with both an iPhone and an Android phone — both open their default mail app, and it's worth seeing your prefilled text in each before a print run.

Frequently asked questions

Does scanning send the email automatically?

No. Scanning opens a draft in the phone's mail app with your address, subject, and body prefilled — the person reviews it and taps send themselves.

Which mail app opens?

The device's default mail handler — Mail on iOS, usually Gmail on Android. If someone has no mail app configured, the phone will say so; the code itself is fine.

Can I prefill the subject and message?

Yes, both are optional fields. They're great for routing replies or prompting for specific details — just keep them short, since every character makes the code denser.

Is the email address uploaded anywhere?

No. The code is generated entirely in your browser and nothing is uploaded. Do remember the address is readable by anyone who scans the code — treat it as public.

Can I style the code with a logo?

Yes — colors, shapes, and a center logo are supported, and adding a logo automatically raises error correction to the highest level to keep the code scannable.
