Is this QR code safe?

Paste the link a QR code opened — or any short link — and see where it actually goes before you follow it.

Paste any link above. Nothing is opened on your device — we follow it for you on our side.

What this checks

  1. Follows every redirect, so a shortener cannot hide the final destination from you.
  2. Asks Google Safe Browsing and open threat feeds whether any address in the chain is already known for phishing or malware.
  3. Looks for the tricks that do not need a threat list: lookalike domains, credentials hidden before the host name, punycode, bare IP addresses, direct executable downloads.
  4. Confirms the final page actually answers, because a printed code that leads to an error is its own kind of failure.

Printing codes yourself? Every code made with us is screened like this on every change, and keeps working when your plan does not. QRiva

We do not store your IP address and we do not keep what you check. A daily, salted hash is used only to stop one caller flooding the service.
