Email QR Code Generator

A scan opens the phone's mail app with your address in the To field and, if you want, the subject and first lines already written. The sender just types their question and hits send.

Why Use This Tool

Make a QR code that opens a new email with your address, subject and message already filled in. Free, no signup, ideal for support desks and enquiry forms.

Free, Unlimited, No Signup

Generate as many QR codes as you need without an account, a trial, or a credit card. Free codes carry a small linkutm wordmark in the bottom corner; create an account to replace it with your own logo or remove it entirely.

Your Data Never Leaves the Browser

Every code is encoded and rendered locally in JavaScript. Wi-Fi passwords, contact details, and campaign URLs are never uploaded to a server or logged anywhere.

Designed, Not Just Generated

Twelve ready-made designs pairing eight module styles with shaped finder patterns, brand colours, and gradients. Export a code that looks like it belongs on your packaging, not like a default black square.

Print-Ready PNG, SVG, and PDF

Download a 1200px PNG for digital, a vector SVG that scales to a billboard without a single soft edge, or a print-ready PDF. Copy straight to the clipboard when you just need it in a deck.

How It Works

  1. 1

    Use a monitored inbox, not a personal one

    Whatever address you encode is the one that receives everything this code produces for the life of the print run. A shared support or sales inbox survives staff changes; a named personal address does not, and reprints are the expensive way to update a mailbox.

  2. 2

    Pre-fill a subject that helps you route replies

    The subject line is free routing metadata. Something like 'Warranty claim — Model X' lets your helpdesk filter automatically, and telling the sender what the message is about raises the chance they actually finish writing it.

  3. 3

    Seed the body with the details you always have to ask for

    Support threads die in the back-and-forth. Pre-write the fields you always need — order number, serial number, purchase date — as blank lines and most people fill them in before sending, which removes an entire round trip.

  4. 4

    Print it where the question is asked

    On the packaging insert, the invoice, the warranty card, the back of the trade-show handout. Add a line of copy telling people what happens next, because 'Scan to email us — we reply within one working day' converts far better than a bare square.

How the mailto payload works

The code encodes a mailto: address with optional subject and body parameters. Every mainstream phone camera recognises it and hands the request to the default mail app, which opens a compose window pre-populated. Nothing is sent automatically — the person always sees the draft and taps send themselves, which is why this type raises no consent problems.

Email, contact form, or WhatsApp?

Email suits anything with an audit trail: warranty claims, invoices, B2B enquiries, anything a business needs to keep a written record of. A contact form suits structured intake where you need clean fields for a CRM, and a URL code is the right way to reach one. WhatsApp wins for speed and for markets where people simply do not open a mail app on their phone. If your audience is consumer and mobile-first, test a WhatsApp code against the email one before committing the print budget.

Keep the pre-filled text short

Address, subject and body all live inside the pattern, so a long template makes a dense code that scans poorly on the sort of printed materials this type usually ends up on. Two or three prompt lines is the sweet spot. If you find yourself writing a form in the body, you actually want a form, and a URL code will serve you better.

Free Tool vs linkutm Platform

Every code on this page is free to make and never expires. The linkutm platform adds the parts a printed code cannot do on its own — editing the destination, and counting the scans.
