Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about email QR codes answered.
What is a mailto QR code?
A mailto QR code encodes a mailto: link. When scanned, it opens the user's default email app with the recipient, subject, and body text pre-filled.
Can I pre-fill the email body?
Yes. You can include a default body text, though users can edit it before sending. Long body texts increase QR code density, so keep it concise.
Does this work on all devices?
Yes. The mailto: protocol is a web standard supported by all operating systems, browsers, and email clients since the 1990s.
Can I add CC or BCC recipients?
Yes. The mailto: standard supports CC and BCC parameters. Our generator allows you to add multiple recipients to the encoded link.
