Mailto Link Generator

A mailto url builder for email links: fill in the to, cc, bcc, subject and body, and get a mailto link plus a ready-made HTML anchor tag you can drop into a page.

A mailto link generator builds an email link that opens a new message with the fields already filled in. Add the recipient, optional cc and bcc, a subject and a body, and the mailto url builder assembles the link as you type. Copy the raw mailto: URL for a button, or copy the HTML anchor tag to paste straight into a web page. When someone clicks it, their mail app opens a draft with everything in place, ready to review and send.

How it works

  1. 1

    Add the recipients

    Enter the main address, plus any cc and bcc. Separate several addresses with commas.

  2. 2

    Write subject and body

    Type the subject line and the starter message. Line breaks in the body are kept.

  3. 3

    Copy the link or the HTML

    Copy the mailto: URL on its own, or the full anchor tag to paste into your site.

Instant & 100% private — nothing is uploaded

Everything runs locally in your browser. Your code, text and files are processed on your own device and are never sent to a server — so there are no upload waits, no size limits from us, and nothing is ever stored or logged.

Frequently asked questions

What is a mailto link?
It is a special link that starts with mailto: instead of https. Clicking it opens the default email app with a new message, rather than loading a web page.
Can I add cc, bcc, subject and body?
Yes. Each field is optional and gets added to the link when you fill it in. The subject and body are encoded so spaces and punctuation survive.
How do I put this on my website?
Copy the HTML anchor snippet and paste it into your page. It wraps the mailto link in an <a> tag with the address as the visible text, which you can edit.
Why does my body text look encoded in the link?
Spaces and symbols are percent-encoded so the link stays valid across email apps. The recipient still sees normal text; the encoding is only in the URL.
