Mailto link generator
Mailto Links
Builds email links with pre-filled recipient, subject, and body — mailto:hello@site.com?subject=Quote&body=Hi.... Clicking opens the visitor's email app with everything ready to send.
When to Use
"Email us" buttons, support pages, and "share via email" features. Keep the pre-filled body short — long templates feel spammy and get deleted.
How to Use the Mailto Link Generator
Create mailto: links that open the visitor’s email app with the recipient, subject, and message body already filled in — ideal for contact buttons, support links, and pre-written inquiry emails.
- Enter the recipient address, plus optional CC and BCC addresses for team inboxes.
- Type the subject line and the body text you want prefilled; special characters and line breaks are encoded automatically.
- Click Generate, copy the link, and attach it to any button, image, or text on your site.
Example
A portfolio “Hire me” button should email hello@janedesign.com with the subject “Project inquiry” and a short intro message. The generator outputs a mailto: link with everything percent-encoded, so one click opens a ready-to-send draft.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do mailto links work on phones?
Yes — they open the default mail app with everything prefilled. On desktops they need a default email client; visitors using only webmail with none set may see nothing happen, so show your plain address nearby as a fallback.
Can I prefill several recipients?
Yes, using the CC and BCC fields. Keep the total URL reasonably short, though — mailto links stretching past a few thousand characters can break in some browsers.
Are special characters handled?
Yes. Spaces, line breaks, ampersands, and Unicode are percent-encoded automatically, so a subject like “Quote & timeline?” arrives intact instead of breaking the URL.
