SafeQR Reader

A lightweight, privacy‑friendly, and security‑focused QR code reader built using jsQR. It never auto‑redirects — instead, it displays the decoded content safely and leaves every action to the user.

• Uses jsQR only for clean, fast QR decoding.

• Never auto‑opens links, blocking malicious redirects.

• Decoded content appears in an output box, fully visible to the user.

• Copy output with one click.

• Download output as a .txt file` for safe offline review.

• Smart URL handling:

  • URLs become clickable.
  • Clicking triggers a confirmation popup: "Are you sure you want to open this link?"
  • Opens in a new tab only after user approval.

• Safely scan QR codes from unknown sources.
• Inspect suspicious QR stickers in public places.
• Teach security‑aware design.
• Perfect for cybersecurity learners and researchers.

1. Upload a QR code image.
2. jsQR reads and decodes the image locally.
3. The decoded text is shown safely in the output area.
4. If it’s plain text → copy or download.
5. If it’s a URL → clicking asks for confirmation.
