Will it work if the person uses Gmail rather than the built-in mail app?

Yes. The link opens whichever mail app is set as the default on that device, Gmail included.

Can I send to multiple addresses?

This form takes one address. Multiple recipients are technically possible in a mailto link but behave inconsistently across clients, so we keep it to one reliable path.

Does the message send automatically?

No, and it should not. The email opens composed but unsent, so the person can edit it and stays in control of what is sent from their address.

Optionally prefill the body — useful for support requests or feedback forms.
Download and place it wherever someone might want to write to you.

What is a email?

An email QR code encodes a mailto link. Scanning it opens the phone’s mail app with a new message ready, rather than making the person copy an address by hand. It is well suited to support posters, feedback cards and product packaging.

We use the mailto format rather than the older MATMSG convention. mailto is a real internet standard honoured by every mail client, while MATMSG is a proprietary format that several modern scanners no longer recognise.

Subject and body are percent-encoded so that ampersands, line breaks and accented characters survive intact — a detail that silently truncates subjects in generators that skip it.

Does this QR code expire?

No. This code is static: the data is written directly into the pattern, not stored on our servers. There is no link back to us that could break, no subscription that could lapse, and nothing we could switch off. Print it once and it keeps working — including after this website is gone.
