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 added automatically. The Gmail Help Center also explains Gmail compose behaviour and mail handling. The recipient checks the draft and taps Send when ready, so no typing is needed. On Android, if Gmail is the default mail app, the Compose screen usually opens directly in Gmail. On iPhone, the same mailto action opens the email app set as default, often Apple Mail or the Gmail iOS app.
Add your logo, brand colours and AI-designed pixel styling for customised QR code design that matches your visual identity. Print it on shopfront glass, newsletter sign-up leaflets, customer support inserts, restaurant table displays, B2B expo banners or event invites. You can pre-fill the subject with order IDs, the message with feedback prompts, or both for cleaner email threads. Every Gmail QR is a dynamic QR code by default, so you can edit the destination later from your dashboard and track every scan without printing again.
Add the recipient with an optional subject and message, customise the QR code with logo and AI pixel styling, then download it in PNG, SVG or PDF for sign-up drives, support leaflets or B2B event stalls.
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 add an order number or campaign name in the subject to identify where the lead came from. Special characters are URL-encoded automatically.
Add your logo, brand colours and pixel patterns. Choose from 1200+ templates or generate AI-designed pixel styling that matches your newsletter leaflets, restaurant table displays or B2B event banner look.
Export in PNG, SVG or PDF for shop windows, support packaging or exhibition stalls. 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 is a dynamic QR code by default, and each scan records the timestamp and approximate location.
Pre-fill the recipient, subject and message so users can tap Send quickly, add your logo for instant recognition, track scans for sign-ups and support campaigns, and update the destination any time from your dashboard.
See when your Gmail compose QR is scanned, where it was placed and when people interacted with it. Real-time dashboards help you measure sign-ups, support inserts and B2B event activity.

Turn long mailto links with pre-filled subject and message into custom short links. Test placements, measure conversions and retire links safely after the campaign ends.

Customise your Gmail QR
A Gmail QR is suited to senders and recipients who mainly use Gmail or Google Workspace, with templates, copy and dashboards built around @gmail.com inboxes. An email QR opens a general mailto draft in whichever default mail app the user has set.

vCard saves your full contact details to the phone’s address book in one tap. Gmail opens a Compose draft with subject and message ready for B2B follow-up after meetings or events.
Save full contact
A URL QR opens a webpage in the browser for self-service FAQs or landing pages. A Gmail QR opens a ready email draft. Many campaign leaflets use both to cover different user intent.

Gmail opens an email draft inside the user’s mail flow, while WhatsApp starts a wa.me chat without needing to save the number first. That is useful for travellers and quick support conversations.
Reach travellers via chat
Gmail opens an email draft for detailed written follow-up. SMS opens the phone’s messaging app with a pre-filled message for quick short replies.
Switch to text message
Gmail starts a written email response, while a phone QR opens the dialler for an immediate voice call when the support issue needs urgent attention.

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 body using RFC 6068 parameters. The tool creates a mailto link and converts it into a QR code. When someone scans it, a Gmail Compose draft opens with the To, Subject and Body fields already filled. The user reviews it and taps Send. It works on iOS, Android, macOS and Windows without any separate app.
Yes, it is different. The QR code shown in Gmail settings or on accounts.google.com is a sign-in QR meant only for Google’s own login flow, usually scanned through Google’s mobile app to authorise a device. The QR codes created with QR Code AI use the RFC 6068 mailto format and open a pre-filled Gmail Compose draft from a normal phone camera scan. The purpose and format are different: one is for login, the other is for email outreach.
Yes. Gmail QR codes are free on QR Code AI. You can generate them, customise them with your logo, brand colours and AI-designed pixel 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 can be tracked in your dashboard with country, device, browser and timestamp details.
No. Scanning a Gmail QR code only opens a Compose draft with the recipient, subject and message already filled in. The person scanning it must still review the draft and tap Send manually. Nothing is sent automatically. This privacy-first behaviour 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, dashboard wording and examples are more relevant for newsletter sign-ups, support replies and B2B outreach. 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 the same RFC 6068 mailto format, but the Gmail option gives more Gmail-focused guidance and campaign context.
The Gmail login QR code is provided by Google, not by third-party generators. To get it, open Gmail on a desktop browser, choose the sign-in option with QR code, and Google will show a one-time login QR to scan using the Gmail app on a phone that is already signed in. QR Code AI does not create login QR codes because Google controls that authentication process. This tool is for mailto-based Compose QR codes that open your own inbox destination.
A Gmail QR code created here contains a mailto link and opens a pre-filled Gmail Compose draft to your address, which is useful for marketing, support and response collection. A Gmail login QR code is issued by Google on the Gmail sign-in page and is used to authorise a desktop session through a signed-in phone. A Gmail Authenticator QR code is used during two-step verification to add a TOTP secret to an authenticator app. Only the first type is suitable for public print use.
