Peekray
Free Chrome extension that checks if a link is safe before you click it
Peekray is a free Chrome extension and website that shows where a link really goes and warns you before opening phishing and scam links.
Overview
Peekray is a free scam link checker available as a Chrome extension, a website checker, and a phone app. It shows where a link really goes before you click it by following redirects to the actual destination, checking the link against three public phishing and malware lists (OpenPhish, PhishTank and URLhaus), and using Jev, TypeSafe AI's decision model, to assess links not yet on known threat lists.
The extension works in Chrome and Microsoft Edge on computers and provides a home-screen app for Android and iPhone phones. From version 1.7.0, it also warns before you type a password, card details or a one-time code into a page that impersonates a brand. On phones, you can paste entire messages, share them from other apps, scan QR codes, or check screenshots to find and verify links within them.
Peekray was previously called LinkGuard and was renamed in October 2026. It is made by Avinash Jetwani, an independent developer in the UK. The service is completely free with no account required and no ads.
