QR & Link Safety Checker
Scanned a QR code and unsure? “Quishing” hides scam links behind fake QR stickers and messages. Paste the link it opened (or any suspicious link) and we’ll check its structure for the tricks scammers use.
100% private. The link is analyzed entirely in your browser. We never open it, send it anywhere, or store it.
Tip: on most phones you can long-press a QR code (or use the camera preview) to see the link before opening it — then paste it here.
Paste a link to check it
This checks a link’s structure, not a live reputation database, so it can’t catch everything. When in doubt, don’t open it.
Staying safe from fake QR codes
- 1
Check the QR code isn’t a sticker placed over the real one — a common trick on parking meters and posters.
- 2
Prefer the official app you downloaded from the App Store or Google Play; a sticker can’t change an app you already have.
- 3
At a parking meter, paying by card or coin at the machine can’t be redirected by a fake sticker.
- 4
After scanning, read the full web address before doing anything — and never enter card details on a page you reached from a random QR code.
