What happens when the email QR code is scanned?

The phone opens a new email addressed to you, with the subject and message pre-filled if you added them. The sender reviews and taps send — it never sends automatically.

Can I pre-fill the subject and body?

Yes. Both are optional. Pre-filling a subject like "Brochure request" makes incoming mail easy to sort and respond to.

Which email app opens?

Whatever the person has set as their default mail app — Apple Mail, Gmail, Outlook and others all support the mailto format this code uses.

Is my email address exposed to a server?

No. The code is generated locally in your browser, so your address and message stay on your device.

Where is an email QR code useful?

On business cards, brochures, trade-show stands and packaging — anywhere you want enquiries without printing a long address people have to type.

Typing an email address from a printed page is error-prone; a scan gets it right every time and can pre-sort your inbox with a ready-made subject line. For a full digital business card, pair it with a vCard QR code.
