Encoded for you

THREE SMALL STEPS
How to create a mailto link
-
01
Add the recipients
Enter one or more addresses separated by commas. Add Cc or Bcc if needed, or leave the recipient empty so people choose who to write to.
-
02
Prepare the email
Fill in a subject and the first lines of the message. People can still change everything before they send it.
-
03
Use the link
Copy the link or an HTML snippet, test it with your email app, or turn it into a QR code without typing it again.
Good to know
Needs an email app
The link opens the default email app of the device. When none is set up, nothing may happen, so show your address as text as well.
Nothing is sent
Creating or testing the link never sends an email. A message leaves only when someone presses Send in their own app.
QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions
How do I generate a mailto link with a subject line?
Enter the recipient and subject above, then copy the generated link. For example, mailto:hello@example.com?subject=Product%20question opens a draft addressed to hello@example.com with the subject Product question. The generator handles spaces and special characters for you.
Can a mailto link include an attachment?
No. Mailto links do not provide a standard, reliable way to attach files. The person composing the email must add an attachment in their email app.
What is a mailto link?
It is a link that starts with mailto: and opens a new email instead of a web page. It can include recipients, a subject and a message.
Can I add several recipients?
Yes. Separate the addresses with commas. You can also add Cc and Bcc recipients, which most email apps support.
Why does nothing happen when I click the link?
The device has no default email app, or the browser is not allowed to open one. People who use webmail can set their browser to open email links with it.
Is there a length limit?
Some email apps and browsers cut very long links. Keep the message short: the generator warns you when a link passes 2,000 characters.
