Stop trimming shipping labels with scissors. Label Magic finds the label on any PDF, screenshot, or image, crops it to a perfect 4x6, and sends it straight to your direct-thermal printer — no photo editor, no guesswork, no wasted labels. Whether it's an emailed PDF or an image, Label Magic automatically detects exactly where the label is and lines it up for a clean print every time. HOW IT WORKS • Point Label Magic at a folder — it lists every file that looks like it could contain a label, with a live thumbnail for each one. • Smart filtering keeps the list focused, so you're not hunting through unrelated files. • The label is detected automatically. If it's not quite right, drag the corners to adjust the crop yourself. • Preview the exact 4x6 output before you print, then send it to your thermal printer. BUILT FOR REAL-WORLD LABELS Return labels, marketplace shipping labels, carrier PDFs, and screenshots all come in different shapes and sizes. Label Magic doesn't assume a fixed layout — it looks at the actual page and finds the label wherever it sits, so oddly formatted return labels print just as cleanly as a tidy carrier PDF. WHO IT'S FOR If you sell online, process returns, or just ship packages often, Label Magic turns "open the PDF, zoom in, screenshot it, crop it, print it" into two clicks. It's built specifically for direct-thermal label printers, so there's no wasted ink and no full sheet of paper for one small label. No accounts, no subscriptions, no cloud upload — your files stay on your device. Pick a file, check the crop, print. Free to download. Print 10 labels free, then unlock unlimited printing with a one-time purchase.
