Getting the designer ready…

Email addresses are easy to get wrong: one missing letter and the message never arrives. An email QR code opens the phone's mail app with your address, a subject line and an optional message already in place, so the sender only has to add their own words and tap send.

A clear subject line also helps you. "Quote request: Lekki branch" lands in your inbox ready to sort, instead of a blank subject you have to open to understand.

How to create a Email QR code

  1. Enter your email address

    Use the inbox that will actually answer, such as sales@ or support@.

  2. Add a subject

    Optional, but it makes replies easier to filter and tells the sender what the email is for.

  3. Add a starter message

    For example "Hi, I'd like a quote for…". People can edit it before sending.

  4. Design and download

    Add your colours and a line like "Email us", then download for print or screen.

Ways to use it

  • Enquiries and quotes. Put the code on brochures, trade-show stands and vehicle wraps.

  • Support and returns. Add it to packaging so customers reach the right team with the right subject.

  • Feedback. Collect comments at hotels, clinics and events with a ready-made subject line.

  • Job applications. "Email your CV" codes on recruitment posters, with the role in the subject.

Tips for a code that scans every time

  • Use a different subject per location or campaign to see which one brings in emails.
  • Keep the starter message short; long bodies make the code denser.
  • Check that the address you use is monitored, and set up an auto-reply if it isn't checked daily.

Frequently asked questions

What happens when someone scans an email QR code?

Their default mail app opens a new email with your address, subject and message filled in. Nothing is sent until they tap send.

Do I have to add a subject and message?

No, both are optional. With only an address, the code opens a blank email to you.

Will this expose my email address to spammers?

The address is in the code, just as it would be if you printed it. Use a public-facing address like hello@ or info@ rather than your personal one.

Does it work with Gmail and Outlook?

Yes. The code uses a standard mailto link, which opens whatever mail app the person has set as their default.

Can I send to more than one address?

This generator supports one recipient, which works most reliably across mail apps. Use a shared team inbox if several people need to see the emails.
