About

Easy Return Label

Read full description

Most return labels are made for a screen, not your home printer. A retailer sends a return label as a full 8.5 × 11 page. You print it, cut it down, and hope the barcode still scans. Sometimes the label is buried in a PDF. Sometimes a photo gets cropped or resized just enough to cause a problem. Easy Return Label fixes the annoying part. Import a label, photo, PDF, barcode, or QR code from Photos, Files, or the iOS Share Sheet. The app finds the useful printable item and builds a clean Letter-size PDF with the return label at its proper 4 × 6 size. No guessing. No stretching. No wasting a whole sheet for a small label. With Easy Return Label you can: - Create an exact 4 × 6 return label on US Letter paper - Detect shipping labels, linear barcodes, and QR codes - Start from any app with the iOS Share Sheet - Keep codes crisp at the right size and position for scanning - Arrange several printable items on one page - Add optional captions and reorder items - Save reusable Catalogs for repeat returns - Print, share, save, and reopen recent PDFs - Check the page with inch rulers before printing Your files stay on your device while Easy Return Label analyzes them. There is no account to create and no upload or tracking request. Files only leave your device when you choose an iOS action such as printing, sharing, or exporting. Made for iPhone with a simple native interface, Easy Return Label gets out of the way and helps you finish the return. When the return label should be the only thing on the page, make it print that way.
