Check PDFs and QR codes before opening.
PreventFile analyzes the file or code on your phone and shows, in simple language, if there is anything suspicious: scams, fake links, exposed passwords, and hidden instructions.
Secure PDF Checker
Send a PDF and see the verdict before opening, sharing, or sending it to an AI. The app looks for:
• Prompt injection: hidden instructions to manipulate AI assistants (in Portuguese and English)
• Exposed passwords and keys: tokens, API keys, and passwords, always masked in the report
• Dangerous commands: curl | sh, rm -rf, PowerShell, and similar
• Suspicious links: domains that mimic brands, link shorteners, IP addresses, and link text different from the destination
• Hidden content: white or invisible text, hidden Unicode characters, JavaScript, and embedded attachments
Secure QR code reader (against quishing)
Point the camera or choose a photo from the gallery. The link is never opened: the app only analyzes it.
• Pix (BR Code with CRC verification), links, Wi-Fi, SMS, contacts, cryptocurrencies, and app links
• Also finds QR codes within PDFs
• Highlights the real domain of the destination so you don't fall for similar addresses
Anti-scam tips
Clear guidance on SMS with fake links, calls requesting data, facial recognition scams, WhatsApp scams, and scams in ride-sharing apps, with the official channels of each service.
Easy-to-understand results
Verdict by category, verification history, and sharing of results in PDF, text, or Markdown.
Privacy first
PDF and QR code analysis is 100% local: your files and codes never leave the device. The internet is only used for login, credit balance, and purchases.
