How an email QR code works
An email QR code encodes a mailto: link — your address plus an optional subject and body. When someone scans it, their email app opens a new draft with everything filled in. One tap after they add their message and it is on its way. It turns print into an inbox conversation without anyone typing an address.
Where email QR codes are useful
- Quote and inquiry requests — a pre-filled "Quote request" subject on flyers and print ads.
- Business cards — pair it with a vCard QR for full contact details.
- Job listings and applications — scan to email HR with the role pre-filled in the subject.
Want scan analytics?
This is a static code and cannot be tracked. For scan counts and an editable destination, use a dynamic QR code pointing at a contact form. See how to track QR code scans.

Frequently asked questions
How does an email QR code work?▾
It encodes a mailto link with your address and an optional subject and body. Scanning it opens the email app with a new message pre-filled, ready to send.
Can I pre-fill the subject and body?▾
Yes. Both are optional and get filled into the draft when someone scans, so they only need to add their details and send.
Will it work on any phone?▾
Yes — mailto links are supported by every default email app on iPhone and Android. The camera opens the draft; nothing sends automatically.
Can I track scans of an email QR code?▾
Not with this static code. For scan counts, point a dynamic QR at a contact page or form instead — Scanely tracks every scan.
