Editorial interest 82/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A free, no-signup tool that decodes QR codes and checks their destination links for known phishing and malware threats before you open them.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-21 issue.

Why it surfaced

CheckThisQR handles the QR image locally, sends only an extracted destination link for its safety check, and never opens the link automatically. Its examples—fake parking-meter stickers, swapped restaurant menus, and QR codes buried in phishing emails—give the tool a concrete place in everyday scam avoidance.
