Scan First: QR Safety Scanner

Phishing & Scam Link Checker

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Not every QR code is what it seems. Check websites for known threats, spot shortened links, and decide what happens before anything opens A QR code can look harmless. What’s behind it might not be. QR codes are everywhere. On restaurant menus, parking meters, packages, posters, and payment notices. Most are perfectly legitimate. But others can hide fake websites, suspicious links, or pages designed to steal your personal information. Scan First isn't just another QR code scanner. It helps you understand what's inside a QR code before you open it. Website addresses are analyzed for suspicious details and checked against an updated global threat database. No automatic opening. No complicated security reports. Just clear information to help you make a safer decision. CHECK BEFORE YOU OPEN When you scan a QR code containing a website address, Scan First: • Checks the URL against a global database of known threats • Looks for reported phishing and malware threats • Detects suspicious or misleading web addresses • Identifies shortened links that may hide their destination • Explains potential risks in plain language • Lets you decide whether to continue Every website check gives you a clear result: • No known threats found • Be careful • Do not open • Could not check online You don't need to be a security expert. Scan First helps you understand what matters. SPOT HIDDEN SHORT LINKS Shortened links can make unfamiliar websites harder to recognize. Scan First detects known URL shorteners and warns you when a web address is hidden behind a shortened link. A simple warning can make all the difference before you tap.
