Email QR Code — Pre-Fill Emails with One Scan

An email QR code opens the scanner's email app with the recipient address, subject line, and body text already filled in. One scan, one tap to send. Create yours at QRMax.

What It Does

The QR code encodes a mailto: link. When scanned, it launches the default email client with pre-populated fields, removing friction from contacting you.

Common Use Cases

Use Case	Example
Customer support	Let customers email your help desk instantly
Feedback requests	Pre-fill subject with "Feedback for [Product]"
Event RSVPs	One-scan RSVP to event organizers
Business cards	Add alongside your contact QR
Print materials	Magazines, flyers with "Email us" CTA

How to Create an Email QR Code

1. Choose "Email" type — Open QRMax and select the email option.
2. Enter details — Add the recipient email, subject line, and optional body text.
3. Customize & download — Style with your brand colors, add a logo, and export.

Practical Tips

• Pre-fill the subject line — This helps you sort incoming emails and gives the sender context.
• Keep body text short — A brief prompt like "Hi, I'd like to inquire about..." is enough.
• Use a monitored inbox — Point the QR to an email address someone actually checks regularly.

Can I include CC or BCC addresses?

Yes. The mailto standard supports CC and BCC fields, and QRMax lets you add them when generating the code.

Will it work on any phone?

It works on any device with an email client configured. If no email app is set up, the phone may prompt the user to configure one first.

Can the recipient address be changed after printing?

Not with a static email QR. If you need flexibility, use a dynamic QR that redirects to a contact form instead.
