Email QR Code Error Correction Levels
Error correction can help your QR code remain scannable when it contains a logo or experiences minor damage or obstruction.
Low
Suitable for simple digital email QR codes displayed clearly without a logo or design obstruction.
Medium
Recommended for most email QR codes and provides a practical balance between density and scan reliability.
Quartile
Useful when the QR code contains a small logo or may experience minor damage or obstruction.
High
Recommended when greater damage resistance is required, although it produces a denser QR code.
Email QR Code Design and Sharing Best Practices
Verify the email addresses and test the final QR code before adding it to business cards, posters, packaging or printed materials.
Verify every email address
Confirm the primary recipient and optional CC address before downloading, printing or sharing the QR code.
Keep the subject concise
Use a clear and specific subject line that helps the recipient immediately understand the email's purpose.
Keep the message short
Longer content creates a denser QR code, so include only the information required to begin the conversation.
Do not include sensitive information
Anyone who scans the QR code may be able to view the prepared email content, so avoid passwords, confidential data and private information.
Do not imply automatic sending
Scanning prepares an email, but the user must review and send it through their selected email application.
Use a clear call to action
Add text such as Scan to Email or Send Your Enquiry so users understand what the QR code does.
Maintain strong colour contrast
Use a dark QR code on a light background whenever possible to improve scan reliability.
Avoid oversized logos
Keep the centre logo small enough that it does not cover important QR code modules.
Keep clear space around the QR code
Maintain sufficient empty space around the code and avoid placing text or graphics too close to it.
Test with different email applications
Test the final QR code using multiple compatible devices and email applications before publishing it.
Regenerate when details change
Create a new QR code whenever the recipient, CC address, subject or prepared message changes.
Important Email QR Code Note
This tool creates a static QR code containing a mailto link. Scanning can prepare an email in a compatible application, but it does not send the email automatically. The user must review and send the message through their own email account.

Compatible applications that recognize standard mailto links may open the prepared email. Behaviour can vary by device, browser, operating system and default email settings.

It may open Gmail when Gmail is installed or configured as the device's email handler. The exact behaviour depends on the user's device and settings.

What is the subject character limit?
The current generator supports a subject line of up to 150 characters.
