Sit down and try it: app.mylabelmaker.com. No account. Make one label tonight, or print a whole list from Excel or Google Sheets when you need it.

ZebraDesigner Pro 3 still doesn't connect to Google Sheets, even after you pay. Open the free label maker, publish the sheet as CSV, paste the URL, and print one label per row on a Zebra. That's the free alternative for a team that lives in Google.

Good to know: A normal Google share link isn't enough. Use File, Share, Publish to the web, comma-separated values. Load again when the sheet changes.

How to print Google Sheets without ZebraDesigner Pro 3

  1. In Google Sheets, publish the tab as CSV and copy the link.
  2. Open the free label maker. Set size and DPI.
  3. Click column names onto the label. Paste the published URL.
  4. Preview. Choose Zebra. Print the rows you checked.

You paid, or you almost paid, because the team already keeps SKUs in Google Sheets. Professional 3 wanted an Excel file on a Windows PC instead.

ZebraDesigner Professional 3 and Google Sheets don't connect

The paid database wizard talks to Excel, Access, or CSV on disk. Not a live Sheet. You'd export, re-link, fight over whose laptop has the current file. Here the published CSV URL is the link. The team keeps editing. You load and print.

That's a ZebraDesigner Pro 3 Google Sheets free alternative. Same click-a-column merge you'd hoped Pro would do. Mac works.

Excel still works if someone emails a workbook. Related: use Google Sheets with ZebraDesigner 3 · how to print labels from Google Sheets to Zebra.

When you're ready to print or save

If a Zebra is plugged in, print from the browser. Set 203, 300, or 600 DPI to match the printer. On a regular printer, choose Print from this computer. You can also download a PNG, a PDF, or the ZPL code a Zebra reads. Save a JSON file if you want to open this label again later, spreadsheet included.

Print the Google Sheet

Pro won't take the Sheet. You can still print it here.
