Free barcode label maker online — print scannable labels on Zebra printers
Need a free barcode label maker online that produces thermal-ready labels — not just a PNG for your home inkjet? mylabelmaker is a free browser-based barcode and QR label designer built for Zebra printers used in US warehouses, retail, Amazon FBA prep, and small manufacturing.
Create CODE128, UPC-A, EAN-13, CODE39, ITF-14, and QR labels on a visual canvas. Drive hundreds of unique barcodes from an Excel or Google Sheets file. Print at the printer’s native 203, 300, or 600 DPI so scanners read on the first try.

UPC labels for US retail
For store shelves and marketplaces, use UPC-A with a valid 12-digit code (including check digit). Pair with product name and optional price. For Amazon FBA unit labels you typically use FNSKU — see Amazon FBA labels on Zebra.
