Label maker for Mac, free and online

A free label maker for Mac can be a tab in Safari or Chrome. You design the label, then print from this computer or save a PDF, with no label program to install. Your printer still needs its normal macOS driver. Start at the online label maker.

Mac label examples: a sheet and three rolls

These are real renders from the editor, each at its real stock size. The names and addresses are made up. Click one and it opens with the same layout and a short sample address list loaded.

Avery 5160 addressAvery 5160, 2.63 x 1 in, 30 per US Letter sheet. Name and address columns. DYMO 30252 addressDYMO 30252, 3.5 x 1.12 in. Name and address columns. Brother DK-1201 addressDK-1201, 29 x 90 mm. Name and address columns. 4 x 6 shipping label4 x 6 in roll. Name, address, order, tracking columns.

The design step is the same for all four. What changes is the stock: a US Letter sheet goes through your office or home printer, and the rolls go through a DYMO, a Brother QL, or a 4x6 thermal printer that your Mac already lists.

A label maker for Mac in Safari or Chrome

A Mac doesn't need a label program in the Applications folder for a normal sticker.

Open Safari or Chrome, set the size, and type. Addresses, product names, barcodes, and QR codes all sit on the same page. You can upload a logo with Image if the label needs one.

Leave when the label looks right. There's no license key and no menu bar app to keep updated.

Both browsers print through the normal Mac print dialog, to any printer macOS already lists. So use the browser that can see your printer.

Sheet or roll: pick the stock first

Sheets, like Avery 5160 with 30 address labels on US Letter, print on the inkjet or laser you already have. Sizes and sheet templates are on the Avery label pages.

Rolls feed one label at a time through a label printer. A DYMO LabelWriter uses DYMO rolls such as the 30252 address size (DYMO label sizes). A Brother QL uses DK rolls such as DK-1201 (Brother label sizes). Zebra and Rollo print 4x6 and smaller thermal rolls.

Set the editor to the stock in your hand before you design. A layout made for a sheet cell won't fit a roll, and the other way round.

Print from this computer, or take a PDF

Print from this computer uses the normal Mac print dialog. Pick the printer.

For Avery sheets, choose letter and turn off scaling, so the labels stay in their boxes. Print one page and hold it over a blank sheet.

If the words sit in the stickers, print the rest. If they ride high, the page was scaled. Fix that before you blame the template.

For a roll, pick the roll size as the paper size in the print dialog. If the dialog doesn't list your label printer at all, install its macOS driver first. The browser can't add a printer the Mac doesn't know.

A PDF is the file you AirDrop to the iMac that actually has the printer, or open later. Download it from the editor and print from Preview or the browser.

A PNG is one label as a picture. It's a poor way to print a sheet of thirty, and a fine way to drop a single label into a message.

Numbers and Excel on a Mac

Numbers files don't upload as Numbers. In Numbers, use File > Export To > CSV or Excel, then load that file. One row is one label. Here are the first rows of the sample list the examples open with:

1. Open https://app.mylabelmaker.com in Safari or Chrome. No signup. The sample list above is already loaded.
2. Set the size to your sheet, your DYMO roll, your Brother roll, or a 4x6.
3. Click Data and upload your exported CSV or Excel file, or paste the rows.
4. Click a text box, then Variables, and pick the column for it.
5. Step to the longest name in the column, because that's the one that wraps on a DYMO address label or a 5160 cell.
6. Open Edit row, tick the rows you mean to print, and click Print. Check the first label before the rest.

Printing just one label? Print this prints the label on the canvas and asks how many copies.

Zebra on a Mac has its own guides

A lot of Mac searches really mean "I want ZebraDesigner on this laptop." That isn't this editor, and Zebra's own tools need their own setup.

• Printing Zebra labels on a Mac covers the first print, step by step.
• Setting up Zebra Browser Print covers the helper that lets the browser reach a Zebra.
• Using a browser-based Zebra designer on Mac covers designing for ZPL.
• If the Zebra doesn't show up in Safari, see Zebra missing in Safari.

On a Mac, the label software is a browser tab, a print from this computer, and a PDF when the printer is somewhere else.
