Everything you need

A complete toolkit for designing, managing, and printing thermal labels

AI-Powered Generation

Describe your label in plain English. Claude generates valid ZPL code, renders it, evaluates the result with vision AI, and iterates until it matches your intent.

Visual Editor

Click fields directly on the label preview. Drag to reposition, resize boxes and shapes, delete elements. Real-time ZPL updates with every visual change.

Direct Printing

Print directly to Zebra printers via Browser Print. Discover printers on your network, select your default, and print any label with one click.

Version History

Every generation and tweak is saved as a version. Restore any previous version, diff two versions side-by-side, or tweak from any point in history.

Mail Merge

Upload a CSV and use {{placeholders}} in your ZPL template. Preview each row live, then batch-print all rows in one job with full variable data tracking.

Image Embedding

Drop any PNG, JPEG, or PDF onto a label. Convert full images to ZPL, or embed sized graphics into existing labels with aspect-locked controls.

Share & Export

Generate share links with OpenGraph previews. Download labels as ZPL source, PNG image, or PDF. Anyone with a link can view, download, and print.

Print Analytics

Track every print job with full history. View impressions, success rates, and breakdowns by printer, label, and day. Export data as CSV for reporting.

Syntax-Highlighted Editor

Color-coded ZPL commands, parameters, and field data. Hover any command for documentation. Auto-render on paste with debounced typing preview.

Undo / Redo

Full undo/redo history for every ZPL edit. Keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+Z / Ctrl+Shift+Z) with debounced change tracking.

Credit-Based Plans

Start free with 30 credits. Upgrade to Pro (100), Business (500), or Enterprise (2,000) as you scale. Per-generation billing with full ledger.

Token Usage Tracking

See estimated input/output tokens and cost for every AI generation. Full transparency on Claude API usage per label version.

Full ZPL II support

LabelSmith understands the complete ZPL II command set. Text, barcodes (Code 128, Code 39, QR, Data Matrix, EAN-13, UPC-A), graphic boxes, circles, ellipses, diagonal lines, images, and more.
