Tip: Email QR codes use the mailto: protocol, which works on all devices.
Type the email address where you want to receive messages. This is the "To" field that will be pre-filled when someone scans the code.
Tip: Use your professional email for business cards, or a dedicated inbox for marketing campaigns.
Enter a pre-filled subject line for the email. This helps identify messages that come from QR code scans and makes it easier for users to send.
Tip: Use subjects like "Inquiry from Business Card" or "Question about [Product]" to categorize incoming emails.
Include pre-written body text to give users a starting point. You can add prompts or instructions for what information you need from them.
Tip: Keep body text brief - users can always add their own message.
Click the "Style" tab to customize colors, patterns, and optionally add your logo. For professional use, consider matching your brand colors.
Tip: High contrast is key - dark colors on light backgrounds scan most reliably.

Tip: Test on both iPhone and Android - the mailto: protocol is universal.
