QR Safe
Create secure, authenticated QR codes easily.
QR codes are everywhere, but malicious QR codes can lead to phishing, scams, or worse. QR Safe ensures each QR code generated is secure, authenticated, and safe to scan. Protect your users, clients, or audience by providing trusted and verified QR codes.
All submitted URLs are validated (including Google Safe Browsing) and then encrypted before being saved. The resulting QR points to a trusted format like:
https://qrsafe.xyz/token/abc123
Since the URL is encrypted, it's private and can't be guessed or reported once created. This is ideal for flyers, signage, or printed material where security and trust matter.
(qrsafe.com cost over $5,000, so we went with qrsafe.xyz. This is a free, open-source and non-commercial project.)
The website is currently hosted on a free Vercel account. We are exploring more stable hosting solutions. If you'd like to help, suggestions are welcome on GitHub.
This allows us to verify, encrypt, and securely manage the URL. It also gives us the ability to block dangerous links later if needed.
Yes! It's open source. You can fork the project on GitHub and run it on your own infrastructure.
Since the system is open source, anyone can spin up a backup instance. However, QR codes that rely on this domain would stop redirecting unless migrated.
Currently, since the URLs are encrypted, QR Safe itself doesn't support reporting. But you can report any suspicious destination directly to Google Safe Browsing.
The domain qrsafe.com was over $5,000, which isn't reasonable for a non-commercial community project. That's why we use qrsafe.xyz.
