How to Use Mailto Links

Mailto links allow visitors to open their default email client with pre-filled information. Here's what each parameter does:

• Email Address: The main recipient of the email (required).

• Subject: Pre-fills the subject line of the email.

• Body: Pre-fills the content of the email.

• CC and BCC: Add carbon copy and blind carbon copy recipients.

Note that mailto links can behave differently depending on the email client and browser used.

Frequently asked questions

What is a mailto link?

A mailto link is a special URL that opens the visitor's default email program with the address, subject, and body already filled in. It is the standard way to turn an email contact into a clickable link on a web page.

Can I add CC, BCC, subject, and body?

Yes. The generator includes fields for To, CC, BCC, a subject line, and a message body, and it folds all of them into a single valid mailto link automatically.

Should I keep URL encoding turned on?

Yes, in most cases. URL encoding converts spaces and special characters in your subject and body into a safe format so the link works reliably across browsers and email clients; it is recommended and on by default.

Do I get HTML code or just the URL?

Both. The tool outputs the raw mailto: URL and a complete HTML anchor tag with your chosen link text, CSS class, and ID, so you can drop either straight into your page.

Will the link work in every email client?

Most modern browsers and email apps support mailto links, though very long bodies and some parameters can behave differently between clients. Generation happens entirely in your browser, and the tool is free with no sign-up.
