Scanify - Check a suspicious link before you open it
by•
Paste a link, file or IP. Scanify checks it against VirusTotal's 95 engines, Google Safe Browsing and urlscan.io, looks at domain age and SSL, and screenshots the page in a sandbox. You get one plain risk score. Free tools need no sign-up.

Hi Product Hunt, I'm Karim. I build Scanify on my own.
It started with a small annoyance: when a link looks wrong, VirusTotal shows you 95 rows of engine results and leaves you to work out what they mean. Most people just want to know whether to click.
So Scanify runs a URL through VirusTotal's 95 engines, Google Safe Browsing and urlscan.io, checks how old the domain is and whether the SSL certificate matches, and takes a screenshot of the page in a sandbox so you can see it without visiting it. All of that becomes one risk score, with the details underneath. Files and IP addresses work too.
Some of it is free with no sign-up: a fake shop checker, a QR code checker that decodes the image in your browser (it never gets uploaded), and a link expander for short links.
Full scans need a Google sign-in. Pro is $1 for the first month, then $20/month. If you only have one thing to check, there's a $5 one-time 7-day pass. For launch week, LAUNCH40 takes Lifetime Pro from $29 to $17.40 until November 16.
A risk score is a signal, not a guarantee. I'd really like to hear where a result left you unsure what to do next.
