## What is Label Butcher?

Label Butcher: The Smart Label Carver for Rollo & Thermal Printer Owners

Stop Cutting Labels with Scissors Forever
Butcher instantly isolates clean, print-ready shipping labels from any PDF or image file, so you never have to grab scissors or tape again. Just import, confirm, and print.

Handles the Two Most Annoying Label Formats
Whether the label was designed for full Letter paper (meant to be cut out) or buried inside a packing slip, RMA instructions, return labels, or other multi-item documents, Label Butcher carves it out perfectly every time.

One-Step Dual Printing
When extracting a label from a combined document, Label Butcher automatically sends the isolated 4×6 label straight to your Rollo (or any thermal label printer) and prints the full original document to your regular page printer at the same time — zero extra clicks.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Import a shipping label PDF or photo (or use "Open In" from any app)
2. Label Butcher auto-detects the label using barcode and text recognition
3. Adjust the boundary if needed, then tap OK to crop
4. Hit Print — label goes to your thermal printer, pages go to your page printer

FEATURES
• Auto-detects shipping labels using advanced Vision AI (barcode + text recognition)
• Adjustable bounding box with drag handles for manual fine-tuning
• Auto-rotates and scales labels to fit 4×6" thermal printers perfectly
• Dual-printer workflow: thermal label + full-page printer simultaneously
• Supports PDF, PNG, JPEG, HEIC, and TIFF files
• Open files via Import or the Share sheet from Mail, Safari, Files, and more
• Works with Rollo, DYMO, Brother, and any AirPrint-compatible printer
• Direct printing on Mac — no print dialog, labels go straight to the printer
• Diagnostic overlays to see exactly what the detection engine finds
• Progressive onboarding tips guide you through the workflow
