Print 2 Ship turns any shipping-label PDF into a print-ready file. No more screenshot-and-crop, no more labels landing crooked on the sticker. Drop a PDF or image from PostNL, bpost, USPS, FedEx, DHL, Shopify, Etsy โ any carrier โ into the app. The label area is detected automatically, you tweak the crop if needed, and everything prints in one go โ on a 4ร6 thermal label printer, an inkjet, a laser printer, on A4 or Letter sheets, or at a custom size you define. Ideal for online shops, freelancers, and makers shipping packages daily. MULTIPLE LABELS PER SHEET No label printer? Print on plain sheets instead. Set up a grid โ 2 ร 5 address labels on A4, for example โ with your own sheet margins and spacing. A live preview shows exactly where every label lands, and label size can adjust itself so the grid fits the sheet perfectly. WHAT THE APP DOES โข Drag-and-drop PDFs and images โ multi-page PDFs are split into individual labels automatically โข Auto-detection of the label area, with a manual crop overlay for the edge cases โข Zoom and pan while cropping, so you can fine-tune down to the millimetre โข Your own presets for label sizes (4ร6 inch, A6, or fully custom in mm or inch) โข Multiple labels per sheet, with a live preview of the grid โข Batch printing โ your entire queue sent to the printer at once โข Save or share as PDF โ export your cropped labels without a printer, for a copy shop or another device โข Light/dark theme that follows your system โข Memory-aware: handles large batches smoothly ON ALL YOUR DEVICES On Mac: drag-and-drop, a sidebar with your presets, and the system print panel. On iPhone and iPad: pick files from the Files app, print over AirPrint, or share your labels as a PDF. iPad gets the same sidebar as the Mac.

Label Magic

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 โ 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 โข Point Label Magic at a folder โ it lists every file that looks like it could contain a label, with a live thumbnail for each one. โข Smart filtering keeps the list focused, so you're not hunting through unrelated files. โข The label is detected automatically. If it's not quite right, drag the corners to adjust the crop yourself. โข 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 โ 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 โ 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.
