## What is ZPLora?

See the label before it prints.

ZPLora is a private, read-only ZPL preview and preflight workspace for people who need to inspect label files before they reach production. Open a .zpl or text file, paste ZPL commands, import a ZIP archive of labels, or start with an included offline sample. Your label content stays on your device.

PREVIEW WITH CONTEXT
• Graphic fields (^GF, ~DG, ^XG), PDF417 and Data Matrix barcodes, and ^SN serial numbers are now drawn
• Sharper text and more accurate barcode, box, and font sizing that track real 203 dpi print output
• Render supported ZPL labels on iPhone and iPad, including wrapped text inside ^FB field blocks
• Review multi-label streams one label at a time
• Switch between 203, 300, and 600 dpi profiles, or a saved printer profile for common Zebra models
• See renderer notes and font approximations instead of silent substitutions

IMPORT AND CHECK IN BULK
• Open a ZIP archive or select multiple label files at once — no need to import one at a time
• Run Batch Preflight across an entire folder of labels in one pass
• Review a clear pass/fail summary with per-file findings, including files that failed to import

COMPARE LABEL REVISIONS
• Choose before-and-after .zpl or compatible text files without changing either source
• Review rendered previews, meaningful semantic changes, and source context side by side
• See a preflight result and a critical-issue delta for both sides of the comparison
• Create a private comparison proof report without including raw ZPL source

PRINT AND OPEN FROM OTHER APPS
• Send the rendered preview to any AirPrint-compatible printer, right from ZPLora
• Send a compatible label document to ZPLora from the iOS Share sheet
• Continue previewing privately on device

FIND PROBLEMS EARLY
• Run deterministic checks for structure, bounds, clipping, quiet zones, unsupported commands, and unresolved resources
• Inspect label dimensions, elements, positions, commands, and support coverage
• Jump from a finding to the related label element
• See which field runs off which edge, and by how many dots
• Every finding has a fixed code (like ZPL001), handy when you talk to support or your team
• Check in Settings which commands are fully, partly or not supported
• Spot files that look like EPL or CPCL instead of ZPL
• On devices with Apple Intelligence, get a finding explained in simple words, right on your device
• Tidy View lays out one-line ZPL as one field per line — only when it prints exactly the same, and without touching your file

VERIFY AND DOCUMENT
• Compare expected barcode values with Code 39, Code 128, QR, PDF417, and Data Matrix codes decoded from ZPLora’s rendered preview
• Export a PNG image, physical-size PDF, or technical proof report
• Keep a clear record of assumptions, source hash, coverage, and preflight findings

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
ZPLora has no account, analytics SDK, advertising SDK, or hidden label upload. Processing happens on device.

ZPLora is a preview and inspection tool, not a printer driver or print guarantee. Physical output can vary with printer model, firmware, media, darkness, speed, resident fonts, and supported commands. ZPLora is not affiliated with or endorsed by any printer manufacturer.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.5.1 — 2026-10-19

Small fixes and improvements. Everything runs a bit smoother now.

### 1.5 — 2026-10-17

ZPLora now speaks Dutch, Polish and Japanese, and makes messy ZPL easier to read.

• New languages: Nederlands, Polski and 日本語.
• Tidy View in Raw Source lays out one-line ZPL as one field per line. ZPLora only offers it when the tidy version prints exactly the same, and your file is never changed. Copy the tidy ZPL with one tap.
• “Explain in simple words” now only shows up when Apple Intelligence supports your language.
• Friendlier wording in several languages, plus small fixes.

### 1.4 — 2026-10-13

ZPLora now draws more of your labels, and tells you what's wrong in plainer words.

• Graphic fields (^GF, ~DG, ^XG) show up in the preview. Anything unsupported is flagged instead of silently dropped.
• PDF417 and Data Matrix barcodes are drawn and can be verified. ^SN serial numbers work too.
• Preflight now tells you which field runs off which edge, and by how many dots.
• Every finding has a fixed code (ZPL001, ZPL006…) you can quote to support or your team.
• Press and hold an element in the Inspector to copy its ^FO position. View Raw Source jumps to the element's line, and tapping a line selects the element.
• Open a file that looks like EPL or CPCL and ZPLora tells you it isn't ZPL.
• On devices with Apple Intelligence, tap “Explain in simple words” on a finding. It runs on your device and your label never leaves it.
• New Settings screens: Command Coverage (what's fully, partly or not supported) and What's Next.
• Batch import stays smooth with big folders.
• Ready for iOS 27, and the app works at the largest text size.
• Some translations now read more naturally.

### 1.3 — 2026-09-07

ZPLora now opens more files, checks them in bulk, and prints directly.

• Open files from anywhere: import ZIP archives and multiple files at once.
• Batch Preflight: check a whole folder of labels in one pass, and see which ones need attention right away.
• With ^FB (field block) support, word-wrapped text areas now preview and check correctly.
• Compare now runs preflight on both labels and shows the critical differences in one line — in the summary and in the proof report.
• AirPrint support: send the preview straight to any AirPrint-compatible printer.
• Saved printer profiles: pick a common Zebra model to switch resolution in one tap.
• Sharper text and more accurate barcode, box, and font sizing — previews now track much closer to real 203 dpi print output.
• See which system fonts approximate your label's fonts at a glance, right from the preview.
• Refreshed the Pro upgrade screen.
• General stability improvements.

### 1.2 — 2026-08-30

More accurate previews and a smoother, more reliable experience.

• Fixed “Comparison Unavailable” appearing the first time you tap Compare Labels.
• Fixed garbled or overlapping text in some rendered labels.
• Fixed the Paste ZPL button not responding to taps.
• Fixed the Batch Preflight button not responding to taps.
• Sharper text and more accurate barcode, box, and font sizing — previews now track much closer to real 203 dpi print output.
• See which system fonts approximate your label’s fonts at a glance, right from the preview.
• Refreshed the Pro upgrade screen to highlight barcode verification.
