⚠ Low contrast may make your QR code difficult to scan.

Style
Keep sufficient whitespace around the QR code for reliable scanning.
Higher error correction can help when a QR code is partially obscured, but it produces a denser pattern.

An email QR code opens the scanner's default mail app with your address already in the "To" field, and, if you add one, a subject line already filled in. It's a quick way to invite a specific kind of contact: a press inquiry, a support request, a "let's work together" note.
How to create an Email QR Code
- Enter the email address you want messages sent to.
- Optionally add a subject line to pre-fill, like "Project inquiry."
- Style and download the code.
- Place it on a poster, portfolio, or printed proposal.
Customizing your QR code
A pre-filled subject line is a small but effective piece of routing: "Press inquiry" or "Quote request" tells you what the email is about before you open it, and can help you sort incoming messages if you use folders or filters keyed to subject text.
Where to use an Email QR Code
- A portfolio or print ad inviting collaboration inquiries.
- A support poster in a physical location, addressed to a support inbox.
- A conference booth for follow-up questions after a talk.
- A printed proposal, so replying is a scan away instead of a copy-pasted address.
Testing your QR code
Before printing or publishing any QR code, test it yourself: scan it with your phone's camera from a normal viewing distance and confirm it opens the destination you intended. If you're printing it small or on a textured surface, test that exact size and material. A code that scans easily on a screen can struggle once it's shrunk onto a napkin or embossed on packaging.
Static QR codes, explained
ClearQR creates static QR codes. The information you enter (a URL, a phone number, contact details) is encoded directly into the QR code's pattern, so the generated code doesn't depend on ClearQR's servers to keep working.
The destination itself, though, still needs to remain available: if you delete the page a QR code points to, the code will still scan, but visitors will land on a dead link. If you need to change the destination later, create a new QR code; a static code can't be redirected after it's printed.

Frequently asked questions
Does this work with any email address?
Yes. Any valid email address works, personal or a shared inbox like hello@ or support@.
Can I pre-fill the email body, not just the subject?
This generator currently supports a pre-filled subject line. You're welcome to ask the sender to include specific details in the body once it opens.
Will this open Gmail specifically?
It opens whichever app is set as the default mail handler on the scanning device: Gmail, Apple Mail, Outlook, or otherwise.
