Free Microsoft Word label alternative

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.

Yes. You can skip Word mail-merge tables. They fight thermal sizes and barcodes. Open the free label maker, set the real size in inches, map {{tokens}} from Excel, and print. We don't open .docx files. Upload CSV instead.

Good to know: We are not Microsoft Word and do not open .docx mail-merge files. Paste or upload CSV instead.

How to make labels without Word

  1. Open https://app.mylabelmaker.com. No signup. Nothing to install for design.
  2. Pick the exact label size. Not Letter, not an Avery table guess.
  3. Add text, a barcode, or a QR. Load CSV or Excel if you have a list.
  4. Print to a Zebra, or download PNG, PDF, or ZPL.

Print from Excel without a Word table

Put each name or SKU on its own row. Map a column into text or a barcode. Preview one, then print the stack. Guide: mail merge labels.

Print or save

If you have a Zebra, print from the browser with Browser Print at the printer's DPI. Everyone else: download PNG, JPEG, SVG, PDF, or ZPL. Save JSON if you want the editable master later.
