Is there free BarTender software?

Seagull BarTender is paid. This free alternative covers simple thermal labels, Excel, and Zebra print. We are not BarTender.

Do I need ZebraDesigner or a paid license?

No. Design in the browser and print with Zebra Browser Print, or export PNG, PDF, or ZPL. No desktop designer seat.

Can I print a whole list from Excel?

Yes. Map a column into text, a barcode, or a QR code, preview a row, then print the stack. The file stays in your browser.
