Mailto Link Generator
Generate mailto links with pre-filled subject, body, CC, and BCC. Free tool for creating email links.
What is a mailto link?
A mailto link is a special HTML link that opens the user's default email client when clicked. It can pre-fill recipient email, subject line, body text, CC, and BCC fields automatically. This mailto link generator — also searched for as a mailto link creator, mail to generator, or email mailto generator — builds that link for you so you don't have to hand-write and URL-encode it.
How to generate a mailto link?
Enter the recipient's email address and optionally add subject, body, CC, and BCC fields. Click "Generate Link" to create your mailto link. You can then copy the link and use it in your website or documents.
Use cases for mailto links
• Contact forms with pre-filled email subjects • Website "Contact Us" buttons • Feedback request links • Support or inquiry links with pre-written subjects • Newsletter signup confirmations
Example
Entering an address, subject, and body generates a link likemailto:hello@example.com?subject=Question&body=Hi%20there — clicking it opens the user's email client with everything pre-filled.
FAQs
Does this send the email automatically?
No — clicking a mailto link opens the visitor's default email app with a pre-filled draft; they still need to hit send themselves.
Will this work as a link creator for Gmail?
This tool generates a standard mailto: link, not a Gmail-specific compose URL. If the person clicking the link has Gmail set as their device's default mail handler (or uses Gmail's browser extension for mailto links), it will open a Gmail compose window — otherwise it opens whatever email client is set as default. It isn't a dedicated Gmail link generator, but it works with Gmail wherever Gmail is the default handler.
Do I need to fill in every field?
No — only the recipient email address is required. Subject, body, CC, and BCC are all optional; leave any of them blank and they're simply omitted from the generated link.
Can I use this mailto link creator on my website?
Yes — paste the generated link as the href of an <a> tag (or a button) on your site. Clicking it opens the visitor's email client with the recipient, subject, and body already filled in.
