QRCode Monkey Alternative for Codes You Can Edit and Track

QRCode Monkey creates static QR codes for free, without an account, watermark or scan limit, and allows commercial use. You can pick from more than a dozen content types, including links, Wi-Fi, vCards and events, customise colours and eye shapes, add a logo and download PNG, SVG, PDF or EPS files.

If you want a nicely designed code that always points to the same place, it's hard to beat. Static codes don't depend on any service, so they never stop working.

QRCode Monkey doesn't make dynamic codes itself. A static code contains the destination directly, so once it's printed you can't change the link, and nobody can count scans.

When you choose the option for statistics and editability on QRCode Monkey, you're sent to a separate paid service, QR Code Generator PRO, with its own trial and plans. Before you print codes from any dynamic provider, check what happens to them if you stop paying. Our research on trial and cancellation policies compares several providers using their own help pages.

New QRtracer accounts get unlimited dynamic codes, Analytics and QR Studio for 30 days. After that, existing codes keep redirecting and you can still change their destinations. Creating new dynamic codes, Analytics and QR Studio need Pro at €5.99 a month or €49 a year.

• Use QRCode Monkey for a one-off static code with custom design where you need a free vector file.
• Use QRtracer when the link might change (menus, flyers, packaging, event pages) or when you want to know which placements get scanned.
• Use both: many people design static codes in QRCode Monkey and use dynamic codes only for print runs that need tracking.

Already printed static codes? You can't convert them. Point the next print run at a dynamic code instead, so the link can change later without a reprint. See how editing works after printing.
