A Gmail QR code created with this editor opens a Gmail compose link containing a recipient and optional subject and body. The recipient can use a Gmail or another email address; the link chooses Gmail as the composing service. The reader needs access to Gmail and reviews the message before sending. Opening in an app or browser and retaining draft fields depend on the device and session, so test the complete flow.
For a support card, use a subject such as Product care question and a short prompt asking which product needs help. Add your logo and colours with custom QR designs. The reader checks the draft and sends it through Gmail, as explained in Google’s message-sending guide. Test with the Gmail accounts and devices your audience uses before printing.
Enter the recipient and optional message fields, design the QR code, then check the Gmail compose flow.
Enter the recipient email address. Add an optional subject and body, such as Support request and a prompt for the product name. Keep private information out of publicly printed codes and check the actual draft after scanning.
Add your logo and colours or choose a design template. Keep enough contrast for scanning and match the design to your support card, event flyer or contact sign.
Download the code and scan the final file and a printed sample. Check the recipient, subject and body in Gmail. Test the signed-in experience and what happens if the reader needs to sign in. The QR does not select a sender account or send a message for them.
Reduce the details a reader needs to type, customise the code and measure connected scans. Opening a draft does not prove that an email was sent or received.
View connected scan counts and device or approximate location breakdowns. QR analytics do not identify each scanner or measure Gmail inbox replies, email delivery or message opens.
A QR code suits a printed contact card. For digital messages, share a clickable web link when that is easier for the reader. The Website URL Smart Link type can manage eligible web destinations; there is no separate Gmail Smart Link type.
Customise the code with your logo and colours or choose a reusable design template. These are QR Code AI design tools, not special Gmail templates or inbox-management features.
Email QR uses mailto and the device’s selected mail app. The current Gmail editor instead builds a Gmail web compose link. Choose the composing experience your audience can use.
Use a generic mailto
A vCard QR offers contact details for saving to a compatible address book. An email QR prepares a message to your address; it does not save your whole contact record.
Save full contact
A URL QR opens a web page, such as a support guide. An email QR prepares a written question to your inbox. Choose the outcome that helps the reader complete their task.
Open a webpage instead
A WhatsApp QR opens a chat destination, while an email QR prepares an email draft. Readers need the relevant service or a compatible web experience to continue.
Prepare a WhatsApp conversation
An SMS QR prepares a text-message draft in a compatible messaging app. An email QR prepares email instead; neither sends the message automatically.
Switch to text message
A phone QR offers a call to your number on a compatible device. An email QR prepares a written message for cases that do not require an immediate conversation.

Choose Gmail, enter the recipient address and optionally add a subject and body. Customise the design, download the QR and scan a printed sample. The destination opens Gmail’s compose flow; check the draft and any sign-in step before sharing it. The recipient address does not have to end in gmail.com.
An email QR prepares an email draft. A Google sign-in QR belongs to Google’s account-verification process and has a different purpose. QR Code AI does not issue Google sign-in codes. Use Google’s own account flow whenever you need to sign in.
You can create QR codes within the free creation limits. A seven-day trial starts with the first QR code or Smart Link created in your personal account or Workspace; the two have separate allowances and trials. After the trial, Premium is needed to keep connected destinations and their paid features active. Direct QR types, such as plain text or WiFi, retain their encoded data independently of the redirect service. Reaching a creation limit prevents additional creation; it does not erase the data in an already printed direct QR code.
No. The QR supplies a Gmail compose link with draft fields. The reader checks the sender account, recipient and content and decides whether to send. Opening the link or recording a QR scan does not prove the message was sent, delivered or read.
The current Gmail type opens a Gmail web compose link. Email uses the mailto scheme, handled by the device’s selected mail app. Older Gmail QR codes may still contain mailto destinations and follow that behaviour. Check the actual saved destination; neither route guarantees a particular sender account or sends the message automatically.
Google may offer a QR option during account verification; it is not a universal Gmail menu item. Follow the options Google displays and its instructions for signing in with a QR code. This generator creates email-contact QR codes, not Google authentication codes.
An email-contact QR prepares a draft to an address. A sign-in QR is part of an account-verification flow. An authenticator setup QR contains account-security configuration and must be kept private. Do not print or share authentication or authenticator setup codes as contact details; use an email-contact QR for that purpose.
