Frequently Asked Questions
What does the UPI QR safety validator check?
It decodes the hidden upi://pay URI, then runs syntax and safety checks: missing mandatory VPA, invalid amount, unusual bank handles, payee name mismatches, and non-standard UPI intents. Each check returns a colour-coded warning so you can spot issues before printing or scanning.
Is scanning/decoding QR codes on this site secure?
Yes, 100% secure. The decoding and validation happen directly inside your web browser using HTML5 JavaScript. Your image is never uploaded to any external server or saved anywhere.
Can I extract the UPI ID from PhonePe, GPay, or Paytm QR codes?
Yes. All standard Indian UPI QR codes — including PhonePe, Google Pay, Paytm, BHIM, SBI, HDFC, and ICICI — use a standardised upi://pay format that this decoder parses instantly. Step-by-step: extract UPI ID from a QR code.
What should I do if the validator reports a suspicious QR?
Do not print or display a QR flagged as suspicious. Double-check the UPI ID with the payer, test with a ₹1 scan from another device, and regenerate a fresh QR using the 'Create Standee' link so you control all the fields.
What details can I get from a decoded UPI QR code?
You can extract the Virtual Payment Address (VPA / UPI ID), Payee Name, Fixed Transaction Amount, Payment Note, Merchant Category Code (MCC), and the full raw upi://pay URI string.
