Create a free QR code that opens a ready-to-send email, with recipient, subject and message already filled in.
An email QR code opens the phone's email app with the recipient, subject and message already filled in. The person who scans it only has to tap "Send".
It is the quickest way to receive enquiries, orders, bookings or feedback without anyone having to copy your email address letter by letter.
An email QR code is also a simple alternative to web forms: you do not need to build anything or have a contact page, and messages arrive straight in the inbox you already check every day.
A clear subject helps you filter and reply faster. You can create different codes with different subjects to know where each message comes from, such as "Trade fair flyer" or "Table 12".
Keep the message short or use it as a template to complete, such as "Hi, I am interested in…". That way the person only adds what is missing.
An email QR code stores the address, subject and message, so its density depends on what you write. With just the address and a short subject, the code reads well at 1 in (2.5 cm). If you include a long message, go up to 1.6 in (4 cm) or shorten the text. On reception signs, customer service desks or trade-show stands, allow 4 in (10 cm) for every 3 ft (1 m) of distance.
Use a dark, understated color such as your brand blue, and keep the background light. Next to the code, explain what happens when it's scanned: "Scan to request a quote" or "Send us your feedback". Also write the email address in plain text for anyone who prefers to copy it by hand or is scanning from a device without an email app set up.
Each type of code has its own generator with exactly the fields it needs. Pick the one that fits what you want to share:
No. The code opens the pre-written email and the person decides whether to send it. Nothing is sent until they tap "Send".
Yes. It opens whichever email app the person has set as default on their phone.
Yes, enter the addresses separated by commas in the "To" field.
Yes, anyone who scans the code will see the recipient address. Use an address meant for receiving enquiries.
The phone will ask the person to choose or set up an email app. That's why it's worth writing the address next to the code too, so nobody is left without a way to reach you.
The generator fills in the recipient, subject and message, which every email app supports. If you need it to reach several people, use a group address or an automatic forward in your mailbox.
Yes. You can set the subject to "Booking" and a message with blanks such as "Date: … Guests: …". The customer just fills in the details and sends it.
