Can I inspect a QR code before opening the link?

Yes. QR Dex Inspector decodes the QR code first, shows the destination, follows redirects, and checks supported URLs for known threats before you choose whether to open the link.

What can a QR code contain?

QR codes can contain URLs, plain text, WiFi credentials, contact cards, calendar events, SMS or email drafts, phone numbers, locations, and other structured data.

Does QR Dex store the contents of scanned QR codes?

QR Dex tracks aggregate inspector usage, but does not store decoded QR contents, URLs, contact details, WiFi passwords, message bodies, or other scanned values in analytics.
