How RFC 6068 The 'mailto' URI Scheme Works: Standards & Compatibility

The mailto URI scheme enables email links that trigger the default email client on mobile and desktop devices. When scanned, smartphones prompt the user to open Apple Mail, Gmail, Outlook, or Spark with all fields pre-configured.

Standard Payload Format:
mailto:support@example.com?subject=Product%20Feedback&body=Hello%20Team%2C%0A
Native Scanner Compatibility:
Apple Mail (iOS & macOS)
Gmail for Android and iOS
Microsoft Outlook Mobile & Desktop
Thunderbird, ProtonMail, and all standard RFC 6068 compliant clients

Academic & University Offices

Post outside professor office doors so students can email regarding office hours or course questions.

Printing & Quality Guidelines

Follow these ISO/IEC 18004 recommendations to ensure instant, frictionless scans:

1

Maintain strong contrast: ensure dark foreground elements on a clean light background.

2

Observe the Quiet Zone: leave at least 4 modules of blank white margin around the QR code.

3

Test before bulk printing: scan the physical printed sample on both iOS Camera and Android Google Lens.

4

Use vector SVG for print production: SVG scales infinitely without pixelation on large signage or menus.

100% Client-Side Privacy Guarantee

QR Studio never stores, tracks, or analyzes your input payload. All matrix math, Reed-Solomon error correction encoding, and image rendering occur directly in your browser.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the email send automatically when scanned?

No. For security and user privacy, mobile operating systems will never send an email automatically. The user always sees the drafted email in their mail app and must press the send button.

Can I include multiple recipient email addresses?

The RFC standard supports single email recipients primarily, but you can enter standard addresses. For multiple recipients or complex routing, a web contact form QR code is often preferable.

What characters can I use in the subject and body?

You can use any standard alphanumeric characters, spaces, and punctuation. QR Studio automatically URL-encodes special characters into UTF-8 compliant percent-encoded strings.

Is my email address safe from spammers?

QR Studio does not collect or log your email address. However, remember that any QR code posted in public spaces can be scanned by anyone.
