CSV to ZPL. One label per row.
Paste a spreadsheet and get Zebra label code back, with text and a Code 128 barcode, sized in dots for your printer. Your file never leaves the browser.

more rows in this file. The free converter writes the first 3 labels. LabelInn prints the whole file from a visual design, straight to your Zebra, TSC or Toshiba printer — no driver, no ZPL to maintain.

01 / HOW IT WORKS
From spreadsheet to label code
Comma, semicolon and tab separated files are detected automatically.
Set size and resolution.The template is laid out in printer dots: 50 × 25 mm at 203 dpi is 400 × 200.
Edit the template.Every {{column}} is replaced with that row's value.
Copy and send.Check it in the ZPL inspector, then send it to the printer.
02 / SAFE OUTPUT
What the template does
^CI28switches the printer to UTF-8, and every value is written with^FHhex escapes, so a^or~in your data cannot end a field or start a command.^PWand^LLset print width and label length in dots, so the label does not depend on whatever the printer was last set to.- The barcode is Code 128 with the human-readable line underneath.
03 / BEYOND THREE ROWS
When a converter stops being enough
Generating ZPL is the easy part. Keeping it working is not: the layout lives in a text template, a TSC printer needs TSPL instead, and someone still has to send the file and check it printed. In LabelInn the CSV columns bind to a label you design visually, every row prints, and the same design runs on Zebra, TSC, Toshiba and Epson printers. See printing labels from CSV and, to stop handling files by hand, hot folder printing.
QUESTIONS / FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert a CSV file to ZPL?
Paste the CSV or choose the file, set the label size and printer resolution, and the converter writes one ZPL label per row using a template with a {{column}} placeholder for each column. Edit the template to change the layout.
Is my CSV uploaded anywhere?
No. The file is read and converted in your browser.
Why does the converter only produce three labels?
The free converter shows the first three rows so you can check the layout. LabelInn prints the whole file, binds columns to a visual design, and sends it to the printer without a driver.
Will special characters print correctly?
The template sets UTF-8 (^CI28) and writes values with ^FH hex escapes, so characters such as ^ and ~ in your data cannot break the label. Printing accented or non-Latin text also needs a printer font that contains those characters.
