Croplet

Croplet turns shipping label PDFs into clean 4×6-inch labels ready for thermal printing. Import an A4 label, including Vinted labels, crop it precisely, then export or print in seconds. Everything you need for shipping labels: • Import PDFs from Files, the Share Sheet, or a secure HTTPS link (up to 25 MB). • Preview the original page and the finished crop before exporting. • Crop manually with scale, rotation, and position controls when you need full control. • Use automatic OCR detection to identify supported carriers and label layouts, including Poste Italiane and Vinted Go, BRT, DPD, InPost, Mondial Relay, Hermes, UPS, USPS, DHL, and more. • Handle multipage PDFs: process one page or send every page to Batch. Each page becomes a separate 4×6-inch label. • Batch processing with Croplet Pro: queue multiple PDFs, process them together, review results, and share or print the completed queue. • Export batch results as separate files or combine them into one PDF. • Save reusable presets with your crop, carrier, detection mode, privacy, output format, and DPI settings. Apply presets automatically when a matching carrier is detected. • Choose PDF or PNG output and set the resolution for your thermal printer. • Choose portrait or landscape output, with carrier-specific layouts for difficult label formats such as BRT and DHL Parcel Connect. • Protect your data with sender-address masking, including carrier-specific privacy controls. Keep or show recipient names on supported labels. • Share, save, and print directly from the output preview. Croplet keeps processing on your device after import. Manual cropping is available for everyone; automatic detection, batch processing, and reusable presets are part of Croplet Pro.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Half at none against Croplet's 3. Croplet's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs monthly) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.2). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
