Make it easy to start an email
Choose the recipient, add an optional subject and short message, and create the QR. Review the draft before downloading a PNG for screens or SVG for printing. The text download and copy button provide the exact mailto link encoded in the image.
Review before sending
This tool generates a mailto link; it does not send email, verify an inbox or open your email app automatically. A compatible scanner and configured email app are needed to open the draft. The sender can edit its contents before sending. Test a scan on the devices you intend to use.
Supported details and privacy
One recipient is supported, with a Unicode subject and plain-text message. International domain names are converted to ASCII IDNA form and shown in the preview. The part before @ must use an unquoted ASCII address. Address lists, attachments, CC and BCC are not configured here. No details are submitted or saved automatically.
The QR is readable by anyone who has it. Editing removes stale downloads. Clear all forgets the fields and example undo on this page; downloaded files and clipboard contents remain. Message spaces are preserved and line breaks use email-compatible CRLF encoding.
Keep the message short
Encoded links are limited to 1,500 bytes. Unicode and punctuation expand when encoded, so the number of characters that fit varies. Dense codes may require 1024 px. Keep the white border when printing.
