Where does the QR code lead?
Upload a picture or screenshot of a QR code, and we'll decode it in your browser and tell you where it leads and whether it has warning signs. We never actually scan it, so nothing can be aimed at you or us.
Upload or drop a picture of the QR code
Or take a photo. The image stays in your browser, nothing is uploaded.
About the QR check
Why QR codes are dangerous
A QR code hides where it leads. A sticker on a parking meter or a QR in a fake invoice lands you on a page asking for card details or login. The QR check shows the address before you decide.
What it does not do
The image is decoded in your browser and the link is never opened. Nothing is uploaded to us. Still, never scan codes you weren't expecting.
Common questions
Is the QR image uploaded anywhere?
No. The image is decoded in your browser and the address is analysed locally. Nothing is uploaded, opened or stored.
What is quishing?
QR phishing. Attackers put a fake QR code on a parking sign, an invoice or a poster. You scan it expecting something normal, but it leads to a fake login or payment page. The point of a QR code is that you can't see where it leads until it's too late.
The code was just text, not a link?
Then there's no web address to assess. Many QR codes carry plain text, Wi-Fi details or contact cards. Still be careful with codes from unknown sources.
A code came back 'Good', is it safe?
It means the address has no obvious warning signs. A brand-new or shortened link can still be malicious. If you weren't expecting the code, don't act on it.
