Best use case
This email QR code generator is best for letting people scan a code to start an email with a prefilled recipient, subject, or message. Keep the encoded content practical and test the result before printing or sharing it publicly.
Example content
mailto:contact@ourtoolvault.com?subject=Support%20request&body=HelloHow to create this QR code
- Start with a mailto link such as mailto:name@example.com.
- Optionally add a subject and body using URL-encoded text.
- Paste the mailto content into the generator.
- Download the QR code and test it with a phone camera app.
Practical tips
- Keep the subject short so the QR code remains easy to scan.
- Use a team inbox rather than a personal email address for public materials.
- Test on iOS and Android because default mail apps handle mailto links differently.
- Use a clear label near the QR code, such as "Scan to email support".
Privacy note
OurToolVault generates the QR preview locally in your browser. The QR code content is still visible to anyone who scans or photographs the code, so avoid encoding passwords, private tokens, medical details, legal records, or confidential business information unless you are deliberately sharing that information.

Yes. Use a mailto link in the QR code. Most phones will open the default email app with the recipient and optional subject filled in.
Can I include a subject line in an email QR code?
Yes. Add ?subject=Your%20Subject after the email address. Spaces should be URL encoded as %20.
Is the email QR code generated locally?
Yes. OurToolVault generates the QR code locally in your browser and does not send the content to a QR image API.
