Free PrintNode alternative for labels

Published: · 3 min read · Software
Do this in the free app: app.mylabelmaker.com. No signup. Design the label, then print on a Zebra or download PNG / PDF / ZPL.

PrintNode is a hosted print API. If you only need to design labels and print them at this desk, you do not need a cloud relay. Open the free label maker, design the sticker, and send it locally. No signup.

Good to know: We do not host a print queue. We do not replace PrintNode for a SaaS app that must reach printers in other buildings.

How to print labels without a cloud queue

  1. Open https://app.mylabelmaker.com in Chrome, Edge, or Safari. Nothing to install for design.
  2. Pick an exact label size, not Letter paper.
  3. Add text, a barcode, or a QR code. Load a spreadsheet if you have a list.
  4. Print to a Zebra with Browser Print, or download PNG, PDF, or ZPL.

When PrintNode is still the right tool

Keep PrintNode (or similar) when a web app in the cloud must reach a packing-station printer. Use this when a person is sitting at the printer.

Print a whole list from Excel

One SKU, name, or code per row. Map a column into text, a barcode, or a QR. Preview one row, then print the stack. Guide: mail merge labels.

Print from this computer, or save a file

Zebra thermal: Browser Print at the printer's DPI. Everyone else: PNG, JPEG, SVG, PDF, or ZPL. JSON keeps the editable master.

Open the free label maker

Browser design. No desktop install. No account.
