Quick Fill

How it works

Enter the email address you want people to contact. This is required - the QR code won't work without a valid recipient address.

Optionally add a subject line and message body. When someone scans the code, their email app opens with these fields pre-filled. They just hit send.

What happens when scanned:

  1. Device detects the mailto link in the QR code
  2. Default email app opens (Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, etc.)
  3. New message window appears with pre-filled fields
  4. User reviews and sends the email

The QR code generates automatically as you type. Preview shows how it will look. Download the PNG for printing or digital use.

When You'd Actually Use This

Event feedback collection

Display at conference exits or restaurant tables. "Scan to share feedback" with pre-filled subject. Makes it easy for attendees to respond.

Business card networking

Add a QR code that drafts an email to you. "Let's connect" with pre-filled subject. Removes friction from follow-up conversations.

Newsletter signup prompts

Create a code that emails your newsletter signup address. Subject line "Subscribe" triggers automated addition. Simple opt-in method.

Sales inquiry generation

Marketing materials with "Scan for pricing" QR codes. Pre-filled message helps qualify leads. Sales team knows exactly what they need.

Partnership outreach

Pitch decks with QR codes to your partnership email. Investors or partners can reach out immediately. Capture interest while it's hot.

What to Know Before Using

Requires an email app.The QR code opens the device's default email client. Devices without configured email apps may not handle the link properly.

Message is draft, not sent.Scanning creates a draft email. The user must still review and hit send. This is actually good - they can customize the message.

Subject lines should be clear.Vague subjects get ignored. "Product Inquiry - Model X100" performs better than "Hello". Be specific about the purpose.

Keep messages short.Long pre-filled messages may get truncated in some email clients. Use brief prompts that users can expand on.

Pro tip: Use UTM parameters in your subject line for tracking. "Interested - Source: Trade Show Booth" helps attribute leads.

Common Questions

Do I need to enter all fields?

Only the email address is required. Subject and message are optional. Empty fields just open a blank compose window to your address.

Will this work on all phones?

Yes, mailto links are universally supported. iPhone, Android, tablets - any device with email capability will handle these QR codes.

Can I track who scans the code?

Not directly. Email QR codes don't have built-in analytics. Use unique subject lines per location to track where scans come from.

What if someone doesn't have email set up?

They'll be prompted to set up an email account. Most smartphones have this configured already. Consider a web form as backup.

Can I use this for multiple recipients?

Enter comma-separated addresses. However, this exposes all emails to recipients. For multiple recipients, use a mailing list address instead.

How do I test the QR code?

Scan it with your phone before distributing. Verify the email, subject, and message all appear correctly. Test on both iPhone and Android.

Can I change the email later?

No, the email is encoded in the QR code pattern. To change it, generate a new QR code and replace the old one everywhere it's used.
