Free Adobe Express label alternative
Do this in the free app: app.mylabelmaker.com. No signup. Design the label, then print on a Zebra or download PNG, PDF, or ZPL.
Adobe Express is a fine graphic app. Thermal labels need exact inches, a barcode that scans, and a list from Excel. This free label maker does that job. It isn't a clone of Express templates. Open the free label maker and start.
Good to know: We do not import Adobe Express files. Rebuild the face here, then export PNG/PDF for color printers.
How to make labels without Adobe Express
- Open https://app.mylabelmaker.com. No signup.
- Set the exact label size in inches. Don't use Letter paper unless that's the stock.
- Add text, a barcode, or a QR code. Load a spreadsheet if you have a list.
- Print to a Zebra with Browser Print, or download PNG, PDF, or ZPL.
When to stay in Express
Stay in Express for photo-heavy packaging comps. Switch here when the label must scan, mail-merge, or print on a Zebra without a paid Creative Cloud seat.
Print a whole list from Excel or Google Sheets
Put each name, SKU, or code on its own row. In the app, map a column into text, a barcode, or a QR code. Preview one row, then print the stack. Guide: mail merge labels.
Print or save
If you have a Zebra, print from this computer with Browser Print at the printer's real DPI. If you don't, download PNG, PDF, or ZPL and print the file. JSON keeps the editable master.
