Mailto Link Generator — Pre-filled Subject & Body
A mailto link that opens the visitor's mail app with subject and message already written converts far better than a bare email address. Enter the address, optional subject and body, and get both the raw mailto: URL and a ready HTML <a> snippet — fully URL-encoded so line breaks, commas and emojis survive.

How mailto: URIs Are Built — Under the Hood
Defined in RFC 6068, a mailto URI is "mailto:" plus the address, optionally followed by ?hfields. Header values must be percent-encoded — spaces become %20, newlines %0D%0A — and ampersands separate multiple headers. The tool encodes each field independently so your message text can safely contain &, ? or #.
