Every e-commerce seller on Mac knows this pain. You download a shipping label PDF, but it's A4 with the label in one corner. Your thermal printer can't handle that.
Preview.app — manual crop every single time. Tedious with 50 orders.
Adobe Reader — “Take a Snapshot”, right-click, print. Seriously?
Printer software — half of them don't even have a Mac app.
LabelPrint — drop PDF, auto-detect, print. One click. Done.
Marketplaces hand you a full A4 page with the label pasted into one corner. Send that to a 4x6 roll and the printer shrinks the whole page — label included.
LabelPrint measures where that rectangle sits once, then applies it to every file from the same source.
Drag shipping label PDFs into the app. Or right-click any PDF in Finder and open with LabelPrint.
Organize labels by carrier — DHL, InPost, UPS, FedEx. Each preset remembers printer, size, and crop area.
One click prints all selected. Set up an auto-print folder and labels print the moment they land.
Preset folders, drag & drop, multi-select, and a crop editor that shows you exactly what will come out of the printer.
Organize labels by carrier with custom icons and colours. Drag & drop to assign — no menus, no clicks.
Drag the crop rectangle and resize handles directly on the preview. See exactly what will print before you hit print.
Point a preset at a folder and stop opening the app. Every PDF that lands there is cropped and sent to the printer on its own, then renamed with a prefix so the same label never prints twice.
LabelPrint goes through the standard macOS print system rather than a manufacturer's driver, which is the reason it isn't a list of supported models. Plug the printer in, pick it in a preset, done.
Carriers and marketplaces hand out labels in three different shapes, and all three end up in the same queue as individual, separately reprintable labels.
Every feature exists because someone was frustrated with Preview.app
Measured once per preset, or on every file as it arrives. Pages that turn up sideways get straightened.
Organize by carrier with custom icons and colours — DHL, InPost, UPS, FedEx, Allegro.
One job per label, each with its own status, so a jam is easy to find and easy to reprint.
Drag and resize the crop area on the live preview. What you see is what prints.
Drag labels onto presets to assign them. Multi-select with Cmd+A, Cmd+click, Shift+click.
100×150 mm, 4×6", A6, A5, 80×120 mm, plus your own. Rotate 0°/90°/180°/270°.
Save the cropped label out as its own PDF instead of printing it, one file per label.
Presets and custom label sizes follow you across every Mac you own. Zero setup.

Preview and Acrobat crop PDFs perfectly well. The difference isn't capability — it's how many times you have to do it.

Works with labels from
LabelPrint crops and prints existing PDFs. LabelStudio designs new ones — text, barcodes, QR with center logo, images, 46 templates, CSV mail-merge. Hit “Send to LabelPrint” and your batch lands here, ready to print.
If macOS can see the printer, LabelPrint can print to it — it uses the standard print system rather than a vendor driver. Xprinter, Rollo, MUNBYN, Brother, Dymo and generic 4x6 units all work. Output is 300 dpi.
No. You show it one label from a given source and it measures where the label sits on the page. Every later file from that source uses the same rectangle. If your files vary, a preset can instead measure every single file as it arrives.
5 labels a day, with no account, no sign-up and no trial that expires. Auto-detect, the crop editor, presets, the batch queue and every printer are all included. Folder automation and background printing are the paid part.
No. Unlimited is $9.99 once and stays yours, including future updates. There is no recurring charge and no account to cancel.
No. Everything happens on your Mac. The app has no server, collects no analytics and sends no files anywhere. Presets sync through your own iCloud account if you enable it, which is between you and Apple.
Yes — each page becomes its own label with its own status, so you can reprint one without redoing the batch. Sheets holding several labels side by side work too, once you tell the preset how the page divides.
Yes, on Unlimited. Point a preset at a folder and every PDF that lands there is cropped and printed, then renamed with a prefix so nothing prints twice. One folder can feed several presets by filename pattern.
macOS 14 or later, on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.
