The address is required. Subject and body are optional but they make replies far more useful.

How to use it

1

Enter the address

Use the mailbox that is actually monitored. A code pointing at an address nobody reads is worse than no code at all.

2

Add subject and body

A fixed subject lets you filter and route messages automatically. A short body template tells people what information you need from them.

3

Download and publish

SVG for print, PNG for anything on a screen. Place it where someone would reasonably want to write to you.

Real examples

Where an email QR code makes sense.

Support on packaging

The subject can carry the product reference so you know what they bought before reading a word.

Job and property ads

The body can ask for the exact details you need, which cuts the back and forth in half.

Event and venue signage

Enquiries arrive tagged by location when each sign uses a different subject line.

Best practices

  • Use a role address such as hello@ or support@ instead of a personal one, so the code survives staff changes.
  • Keep the body short. Long templates make the code dense and most people delete the text before writing anyway.
  • Put a unique reference in the subject for each campaign or location. It is the cheapest attribution you will ever set up.
  • Test it on a phone with the default mail app before printing. Some third party clients handle prefilled bodies differently.

Limitations

  • The address is readable by anyone who decodes the image, so expect the same spam exposure as publishing it on a website.
  • Attachments and formatting cannot be included. A mailto link only carries plain text.
  • Very long subjects or bodies are truncated by some mail clients, and they always make the code harder to scan.

Privacy

The address, subject and body are encoded into a mailto link inside your browser. Nothing is transmitted to our servers and nothing is stored.
