Labels in PDF
A list in a file becomes a sheet of adhesive labels, ready to print. Pick the sheet format, which columns go on each label, and whether you want a code. The list never leaves your device.

How it works
The barcode is drawn as vector art, not as an image: it stays crisp at any print size and the PDF weighs a few kilobytes. Text wraps inside the label by itself and, if it really does not fit, gets shortened — and we tell you on how many labels that happened. Rows that produce nothing usable are skipped, with the row number you see when you open the file. You can start from a label other than the first, to reuse a sheet already begun.
Frequently asked questions
- My label sheet isn’t in the list: can I still use it?
- Yes. Start from the closest format and, under “Advanced options”, adjust the columns, rows, label size, margins and pitch, all in millimetres. The page stays A4, or Letter if you start from the 30-label format. If the measurements push labels off the sheet or make them overlap, you’re told before the PDF is made.
- The printed labels are a few millimetres off: what do I do?
- In the print dialog choose actual size, 100%, not “Fit to page”: the PDF already has the exact size of the sheet. If they’re still off, adjust the left and top margins under the advanced options and print the test page on plain paper again until the boxes line up.
- Why don’t the digits show under the barcode?
- The digits under the code appear only when the label has no other text. If you also pick text columns, the code takes the upper part and leaves the rest to your lines. If you still want the digits, add the code’s own column as one of the text lines.
- How many labels can I make in one PDF?
- Up to a thousand per file: sheets are added on their own as needed. You can drop up to three CSV files of 2 MB each, and each one becomes its own PDF. Rows skipped because they are empty or invalid don’t count towards the total.
- Do I need to make the codes with “Barcodes from CSV” first?
- No, start straight from the CSV: here you pick the code column and the code type, and the code is drawn onto the label. The images from “Barcodes from CSV” are meant for other uses, such as a catalogue or a website, and this tool doesn’t take them.
