A Gmail QR code is a QR code that opens a Gmail Compose draft to your @gmail.com address, with the subject and message already filled in after one scan. It uses the RFC 6068 mailto specification so the To, Subject and Body fields are completed automatically. The Gmail Help Center explains Gmail compose behaviour and related mail handling. The recipient checks the draft and taps Send when ready, with no typing needed. On Android, if Gmail is the default mail app, the Compose screen usually opens straight in Gmail. On iPhone, the same mailto action opens whichever email app the user has set as default, often Apple Mail or Gmail for iOS.
Add your logo, brand colours and AI-generated designs for custom designs that fit your visual identity. Print it on shop windows, newsletter sign-up leaflets, customer support packaging, restaurant table displays, B2B exhibition banners or event invitations. You can pre-fill the subject with order numbers, the message with feedback prompts, or both for clearer email threads. Every Gmail QR code is dynamic by default, so you can edit the destination address in your dashboard and track every scan without reprinting the campaign.
Enter the recipient with an optional subject and message, customise the QR code with your logo and AI-generated designs, then download it in PNG, SVG or PDF for sign-up leaflets, support materials or B2B exhibition stands.
Add the destination email address, whether it is your @gmail.com inbox or any other address, with an optional subject and pre-filled message using RFC 6068 mailto encoding. You can pre-fill the subject with an order number or campaign name to identify where leads came from. Special characters are URL-encoded automatically.
Add your logo, brand colours and pixel patterns. Choose from 1200+ templates or create AI-generated designs to match your newsletter sign-up leaflets, restaurant table displays or B2B exhibition banner style.
Export in PNG, SVG or PDF for shop windows, support packaging or exhibition stands. Test the scan first on iPhone Camera with Apple Mail and on Android with Gmail to make sure the Compose draft opens properly. Every Gmail QR code is dynamic by default, and each scan records the timestamp and approximate location.
Pre-fill the recipient, subject and message so people only need to tap Send, add your logo for instant recognition, track scans across sign-up leaflets and support materials, and edit the destination whenever you need in your dashboard.
See who scans your Gmail Compose QR code, when they scanned and where it was placed. Real-time dashboards help you measure sign-up leaflets, support packaging and B2B exhibition stands.
Track inbox replies
Turn long mailto URIs with a pre-filled subject and message into custom short links. Test placements, track results and retire links safely when the campaign ends.

Customise your Gmail QR
A Gmail QR code is tailored to senders and recipients using Gmail and Google Workspace, with templates, copy and dashboards built around @gmail.com inboxes. An email QR code opens a standard mailto draft in whichever default mail app the user has chosen.
Use a standard mailto
A vCard saves your full contact details to the address book in one tap. Gmail opens a Compose draft with the subject and message ready for B2B exhibition follow-up.
Save full contact details
A URL QR code opens a destination in the browser for self-service FAQs, while Gmail opens a written draft ready to send. Marketing leaflets often use both to cover different intent.
Open a webpage instead
Gmail opens a Compose draft in the Workspace browser, while WhatsApp launches a wa.me chat without needing to save the contact first, which is useful for travellers.
Reach travellers by chat
Gmail opens an email draft for written follow-up in a thread, while SMS opens the phone’s messaging app with the message pre-filled for quick short replies.
Switch to text message
Gmail starts a written email reply, while a phone QR code opens the dialler for an immediate voice call when a support issue needs urgent action.

Enter the recipient’s @gmail.com address, or any email address you want Gmail users to contact, in QR Code AI. You can also pre-fill the subject and message using RFC 6068 parameters. The generator creates a mailto URI and encodes it into the QR code. When scanned, a Gmail Compose draft opens with the To, Subject and Body fields already completed. The user reviews the draft and taps Send. It works on iOS, Android, macOS and Windows without a separate app.
Yes, it is different. The QR code shown in Gmail settings or on accounts.google.com is a Google sign-in QR used to authorise a device through Google’s mobile app. The QR codes created with QR Code AI encode a mailto URI under RFC 6068, which opens a pre-filled Gmail Compose draft when scanned with a phone camera. The purpose and format are not the same: one is for authentication, the other is for email outreach.
Yes. Gmail QR codes are free to create on QR Code AI. You can customise them with your logo, brand colours and AI-designed templates, then download them in PNG, SVG or PDF without watermarks. Most Gmail QR codes are dynamic by default, so the destination can still be edited after printing and every scan is tracked in your dashboard with country, device, browser and timestamp data. That makes them useful for measuring campaign reach without reprinting.
No. Scanning a Gmail QR code opens a Compose draft with the recipient, subject and message already filled in, but the email is not sent automatically. The person scanning must review the draft and tap Send themselves. This privacy safeguard is part of the RFC 6068 mailto specification and is followed by email apps on iOS, Android and desktop systems.
A Gmail email QR code is designed for audiences who mainly use @gmail.com or Google Workspace inboxes, so the templates, guidance and reporting are shaped around newsletter sign-ups, customer support replies and B2B outreach in a Gmail-first workflow. A generic email QR code is provider-neutral and works well when you do not know which mail app the recipient uses. Both rely on RFC 6068 mailto formatting, but the Gmail option gives more Gmail-specific context and examples.
The Gmail login QR code is provided by Google, not by third-party generators. To get it, open Gmail on a desktop browser, choose Sign in, then select the QR code sign-in option if Google offers it for your account. Google then shows a one-time login QR that you scan with the Gmail app on a signed-in phone. QR Code AI does not create login QR codes. This tool is for mailto Compose QR codes that open a draft to your own inbox.
A Gmail QR code created here encodes a mailto URI and opens a pre-filled Compose draft to your address, which makes it suitable for marketing leaflets and customer support materials. A Gmail login QR code is issued by Google on the Gmail sign-in page and is used to authenticate a desktop session with a signed-in phone. A Gmail Authenticator QR code is generated during Google Account two-step verification to set up a TOTP secret in an authenticator app. Only the mailto version should be printed publicly.
