Mailto Link Generator
Generate mailto: links with recipient, subject, body, CC and BCC. Useful for "Send email" buttons on sites and signatures. Built-in copy and test. Everything in your browser.
How does mailto work?
mailto: is the URL scheme that opens the reader's default email client with the fields already filled in. The parameters ride along in an encoded query string: ?subject=...&body=...&cc=...&bcc=....
Watch out for special characters: accents, line breaks and spaces all have to be URL-encoded, which this tool does for you. Support for cc and bcc depends on the client — Outlook, Gmail on the web, Apple Mail and Thunderbird all honour them.
Everything runs in the browser.
Create ready-to-use mailto: links
A "Send email" button that opens the user's mail program already filled in makes a difference on a page or in a signature. These links use the mailto: scheme, and writing the syntax by hand (with subject and body) tends to produce mistakes. Here the generator handles that part.
Enter the recipient. If you want, add a subject, the message body and addresses in copy (CC) and blind copy (BCC). The tool builds the link with the correct encoding for each part already in place, and includes a test button that opens the link in your own email client — the real behaviour, not an on-page preview.
Since everything is generated right in the browser, the link comes out ready to copy and paste into your site's HTML or your signature. It's simple, but it spares you that annoyance of a mailto that won't open properly.
