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

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.
