Got a shipping label as a full-page PDF or a screenshot, but your thermal printer takes 4ร6? Shiply turns any label photo or PDF into a clean, print-ready 4ร6 inch PDF, right on your iPhone. Choose a photo or import a PDF or image, check the preview and tap Create 4ร6 PDF. Shiply crops the empty margins, rotates the label if that fits better, and centers it on an exact 4 ร 6 inch page. โข EXACT 4ร6 PAGE โ the output is a single 4 ร 6 inch PDF page, the size thermal label printers expect. โข TRIM WHITESPACE โ crops the blank white margins around your label so it fills the page instead of printing tiny. โข AUTO-ROTATE โ turns the label 90ยฐ when that makes it bigger on the 4ร6 page. Both options can be switched off. โข PICK THE RIGHT PAGE โ for a multi-page PDF, choose which page holds the shipping label. โข PHOTOS, SCREENSHOTS OR FILES โ works with PDF, PNG, JPEG and HEIC, from Photos or the Files app. โข PRINT-READY PDF โ share it to your printer's app, AirDrop it or save it to Files. Shiply resizes the label you already have โ it doesn't buy postage or create labels itself. Always check that the barcode prints cleanly before you ship. Everything happens on your device; your labels are never uploaded and no account is needed. Your first 3 labels are free. A one-time $4.99 unlock gives you unlimited labels. No subscription, no ads.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: KEY Texting at none against Shiply's 1. KEY Texting also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 16.0). Shiply's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
