Check File Before Download
No downloads. No installs. Header check only.

Spot fake download links before you click

Paste a URL. We check response headers (type/size) to tell whether it’s a real file or a web page pretending to be a download.

Direct file: shows type & size
Redirect/HTML: likely fake button
Never enter passwords on download pages

  • 4) If it returns a file type + size, it’s likely a real file.
