What is a QR code subscription trap?
Many QR code generators create dynamic codes that run through the provider's server. When your subscription or trial ends, the provider can switch the printed code off, send it nowhere, or show ads. This free check tells you in seconds whether that risk exists - before you print the code or cancel a subscription.
Check an image
Or paste the address
How the check works
- Choose an image of the QR code or paste its destination address.
- We read the code right in your browser - nothing is uploaded or stored.
- You instantly see whether the code points directly at your destination or runs through a redirect service.
What the result means
- Subscription risk: The code runs through a known redirect or short-link service (such as Bitly or QR Tiger). The provider can switch it off.
- Direct and safe: The code points directly at your own address with no service in between. There is no subscription risk.
- Permanent: The code stores the data itself (such as WiFi, contact, or text). It works forever and no one can switch it off.
