What is an Email QR Code?
An email QR code encodes a mailto: URI (e.g., mailto:hello@company.com?subject=Inquiry&body=Hi%20there). When scanned, it opens the phone's native mail app with everything pre-populated. Unlike links to web forms, this works completely offline and requires no internet connection to open — just a camera and mail app.

Different use cases. Email QR works offline and feels native. Web forms offer more control, validation, and analytics. For print materials, email QR is often simpler.
