About Tool

The Mailto Link Generator from Mailmodo is designed to streamline the creation of mailto-URI links for websites, email templates or any touchpoint where you want users to click and launch their default email client with pre-filled fields. It solves the common challenge of manually coding or tinkering with mailto URLs (including subject, recipient, CC, BCC and body) which can be error-prone and time consuming. With a simple interface, you input your desired email address(es), subject line, optional CC/BCC fields, and body text, and the tool generates a properly encoded mailto link ready for use. This is especially useful for marketers, web designers, email campaign creators or anyone embedding “Contact us” links or call-to-action email links in assets.

Key Features

• Input recipient email address, subject line, CC and/or BCC fields, and body content.
• Automatically encodes spaces, special characters and line breaks into a valid mailto URL.
• Preview of the generated link and ability to copy with one click.
• Optional customisation of email body formatting (e.g., multi-line text) for clarity.
• Easy to embed into websites, email templates or digital assets without manual URL encoding.

Pros:

• Saves time and avoids errors compared to manually constructing mailto links.
• Makes it straightforward for non-technical users (marketers, designers) to generate correct email links.
• Ensures correct URL encoding so special characters or multi-line bodies work as expected.
• Integrates nicely into email campaign workflows where specific emails need to be triggered by a link.

Cons:

• It is focused purely on link generation, so if you need deeper automation (e.g., tracking clicks, dynamic recipient fields) you’ll need additional tools.
• The effectiveness depends on the user’s email client and setup (mailto links rely on the user having a default email client configured).
• It’s a niche utility if you rarely embed mailto links you may not get much benefit from repeated use.

Who is Using?

This tool is ideal for web designers, digital marketers, email campaign managers, developers embedding “contact” links, educators creating resources with click-to-email links, and small business owners who want to provide easy email contact pathways on websites or newsletters.

Pricing

The Mailto Link Generator is provided free of cost by Mailmodo as a lightweight, handy utility. There are no subscription requirements for just using this free link-generation tool. However, for broader Mailmodo email marketing services (beyond this tool) paid plans apply.

What Makes It Unique?
