How it works

  1. Paste the decoded text from a QR code.
  2. The content is checked against known QR data formats.
  3. See the content type and its key details before acting on it.

The method

Decoded QR text is matched against standard formats like WIFI:, MECARD:, and plain URLs to identify what a code would actually do before you scan or trust it.

FAQ

What types of QR content does this recognize?

Common types like plain URLs, Wi-Fi credentials, contact cards (vCard), and plain text — recognized from the standard prefixes each type uses.

Does this scan the QR code image itself?

No — paste the already-decoded text (from a QR reader app) to inspect what it actually contains before trusting or acting on it.

Why check a QR code before scanning it?

QR codes can hide destinations or unexpected actions until decoded — inspecting the decoded content first helps you spot anything suspicious before opening a link or joining a network.
