Can I import a Monkey PNG?

You can print it. You cannot make that PNG dynamic later. You would create a new dynamic code.

Use SVG or a high-resolution PNG from either tool for a printer.

Static Monkey codes have none. Our dynamic codes do; Wi-Fi still does not.

QR Code Monkey alternative

QR Code Monkey is the right tool for a one-off static code with a logo. It is the wrong tool when the URL will change or you need a scan count. SmartQRCode is the second job.

What QR Code Monkey is

A designer-first generator, widely used for static patterns.

What SmartQRCode is

Hosted dynamic codes plus one static type (Wi-Fi).

Static vs dynamic

Monkey-style static codes never need us. Dynamic codes always need a host.

Logo

We also put logos on codes. That is not the differentiator. Edit-after-print is.

Cost

A free static generator costs nothing and expires nothing. Our trial is paid.

Who should pick which

Use Monkey (or Canva) for a wedding table number that will never change. Use us for packaging, boards, and anything you cannot reprint.
