What is an Email QR Code?

An email QR code contains a mailto: link that, when scanned, opens the user's default email application with pre-filled information. You can specify the recipient email address, subject line, and even a pre-written message body.

This makes it incredibly easy for customers, clients, or contacts to reach you - they don't have to type your email address or remember what to write.
