Email QR code generator
An email QR code opens the default mail application with prepared fields. QRWerk creates a mailto URI and encodes accented and special characters.

Design
A logo that is too large covers data and hurts readability. The size is therefore capped at 25% and error correction is set to level H.
Enter your details on the left to see the QR code.
Some details are still missing for the QR code.
As soon as all required fields are filled in correctly, the QR code appears automatically.
Scan quality
Adjust settings
- Input complete: Please complete all required fields correctly.
- Sufficient contrast: The contrast is 16.3:1.
- Safe logo size: No logo has been added.
- Sufficient quiet zone: The quiet zone matches the recommended four modules.
- Recommended error correction: Current level: M. For print, at least level M is recommended.
These checks are an estimate. Test the QR code on several devices before printing.

- 3Before distributing, check which mail application is set as default on the target device.
Compatibility and limits

Common mistakes
- An invalid recipient address is not accepted.
- Very long messages enlarge the payload and the QR code unnecessarily.
