Email QR code generator
Enter an email address and, if you like, a subject and message. Scanning the code opens the person's mail app with a new email ready to send to you.
Free, no sign-up. Runs in your browser. Nothing you type or upload is sent to us or stored.

A QR code you can keep changing
The code above always opens the same thing. Every Liite page comes with its own QR code that counts scans, and you can change the page behind it any time without reprinting.
Email QR code generator: what to know
This page starts the QR code generator for this case. For every option and how to use it, see the QR code generator.
What happens when someone scans it
Their phone shows the address and opens a new email in their default mail app, with your subject and message filled in. Nothing is sent until they press Send, and they can edit it first.
Use the subject to sort replies
Give each code its own subject, like "Question from your flyer" or "Table booking". Replies then arrive already labelled, and you can see which poster or leaflet people came from without any tracking.
Keep the message short. Every character makes the code denser, and people usually want to write their own words anyway.
Questions
Can a QR code send an email?
It opens a ready-to-send email. The person scanning still presses Send themselves.
How do I generate a QR code for my email?
Choose Email above, type your address, add a subject if you want, and download the code.
Can I create a free email QR code?
Yes. It's free, needs no account and the code doesn't expire.
