How to Create a Free Email QR Code
An email QR code opens a new email with the address, subject and message already written. It turns "email us at…" into a single scan, which is useful for enquiries, feedback, orders and support requests.
- Enter the email address that should receive the messages.
- Optionally add a subject line and message, for example "Quote request" and a few prompts for the details you need.
- Download the code and scan it with your phone to check that your email app opens with everything filled in.
Ways to Use an Email QR Code
- Enquiries: a subject like "Wedding enquiry" helps you sort messages from print ads.
- Feedback: on receipts, menus or hotel rooms, with a short question in the body.
- Support and returns: "Order number:" pre-filled so customers include it.
- Event sign-ups: "Please add me to the list" as the message.
- Recruitment: on job posters, with the role in the subject line.
Tips
- Use a shared address such as hello@ or support@ for printed material, so it keeps working if staff change.
- Keep the prefilled text short. Longer text makes the code denser; people can type the rest.
- Write the address beside the code for people who prefer to type it or who scan on a device without email set up.
- Include a subject so you can tell which poster or flyer each email came from.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does an Email QR code work?
An Email QR code encodes a mailto: link with a pre-filled recipient address, subject line, and body text. When scanned, it opens the user's default email app with all fields already filled in.
Does the Email QR code expire?
No. OmniQRHub generates static QR codes that never expire. They will work forever as long as the encoded email address is valid.
Is my email address stored on your servers?
No. OmniQRHub generates QR codes entirely in your browser. Your email address and message content are never sent to or stored on any server.
Can I include a subject and body in the email QR code?
Yes. You can pre-fill the recipient email, subject line, and body text. When someone scans the QR code, their email app opens with all these fields ready.
Does the email send automatically?
No. The person scanning sees the draft and chooses whether to edit and send it.
