What is an Email QR Code?

An email QR code is a type of Quick Response (QR) code that encodes email contact information using the mailto protocol. When scanned with a smartphone camera, it automatically opens the device's default email application with the recipient's address pre-filled, and optionally includes a subject line and message body. This technology eliminates the need to manually type email addresses and makes it effortless to initiate email communication by simply scanning a code.
