Free Link Scanner — Check Any Link Before You Click
Paste any link and see if it’s safe. We detect phishing, malware, redirects, and typosquatting in seconds.
- No signup required
- Checked remotely — you do not open the link
- Verdict with reasons, not only a score
Use this link scanner when someone sends you a link in an email, text message, social post, QR code, or chat and you want to check it before clicking. Copy the link without opening it, paste it above, and URLScans will inspect the destination remotely.
This page is designed for a quick pre-click decision. It follows shortened links and redirects, checks the final destination against multiple threat sources, and explains whether the result is Safe, Suspicious, or Malicious. For a more technical breakdown of a full URL and its components, use the URL Scanner instead.
