Bitcoin address & QR checker

Check a Bitcoin address or QR code.

Paste an address or payment request, or choose a QR image. See the network, address format and any requested amount before you use it.

Runs in your browser. Your entries and QR images aren’t uploaded or saved by this tool.

Address or payment request

What would you like to check?

Never enter a recovery phrase, private key or login details.

PNG, JPEG or WebP · Up to 6 MB

Copy this separately from your receiving wallet to check whether the addresses match.

Compare the complete address and requested amount in your trusted wallet. Different cryptocurrencies can sometimes use similar address formats.

What this check tells you

Read the details before sending.

This checks address encoding and the information in the request. It cannot prove ownership, identify a person, detect every scam or confirm that another service supports a payment.

What does a matching address mean?

If you supply an expected receiving address, we compare it with the decoded address. The match helps you spot a different address in a QR code. You still need to verify the recipient independently.

Can I upload any QR code?

Use a PNG, JPEG or WebP image up to 6 MB. The tool reads the first QR code it can find. Website links are never opened. Lightning, silent payments and other payment instructions require a compatible wallet and are not validated here.

Does this check a balance or transaction?

This tool checks format and payment details locally. Use Bitcoin explorer for a public address balance or transaction status.

Payment format: Bitcoin URI specification.
