Mailto Link Generator — Email Links

Generate an Encoded Mailto Link

Build an email link with recipient, CC, BCC, subject, body, and visible link text. Copy the result as a mailto URL, HTML anchor, or Markdown link, then ask your configured email application to open a draft.

Key Features

• To, CC, BCC, subject, body, and visible link-text fields
• Encoded mailto URL, HTML anchor, and Markdown outputs
• Copy controls for each generated format
• A test action that requests the configured email handler

How to Use This Tool

1. Enter the primary recipient and any optional CC, BCC, subject, body, or link text.
2. Copy the generated URL, HTML, or Markdown form needed by your page or document.
3. Select Launch Email Client to test the draft with your configured handler.

Important to Know

• A mailto link does not send an email; it only asks a browser or operating system to open a draft.
• The test result depends on the email handler configured on the current device.
• Long bodies and unusual characters may be handled differently by browsers and email applications, so test the final link.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a mailto link?

A mailto link is a URL beginning with mailto: that asks the browser to open a configured email application with selected fields pre-filled.

Which email fields can I add to the link?

Set the recipient, CC, BCC, subject, body, and visible link text. Empty optional fields are omitted from the generated URL.

Which mailto outputs can I copy?

Copy the encoded mailto URL, a complete HTML anchor element, or a Markdown link using the same email fields.

How are spaces, line breaks, and symbols handled?

The generator URL-encodes recipients and query values so spaces, line breaks, and other characters can be included in the mailto URL.

What happens when I test the mailto link?

The browser asks your configured email handler to open the generated draft. The result depends on the email application or browser handler configured on your device.
