What Is a Mailto Link Generator?
A mailto link generator creates a properly encoded mailto: URL that opens the visitor's email client when clicked. These links can include a pre-filled subject line, body text, CC, and BCC recipients — saving your visitors time and increasing the likelihood they actually send the email.
Mailto links are used on contact pages, in email signatures, on landing pages, and in HTML newsletters. Getting the encoding right manually is error-prone, especially when the subject or body contains special characters. Our free tool handles all URL encoding automatically and outputs both the raw mailto URL and a ready-to-paste HTML anchor tag.
Developers use mailto generators to build contact forms and CTA buttons. Marketers use them to create pre-filled email templates for referral campaigns. Small business owners use them to make it as easy as possible for customers to get in touch.
