Tools & Elements
Powerful design tools at your fingertips
Text
Uses the fonts installed on your computer plus the fonts bundled with the app — no internet connection required. Adjust size, bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, letter spacing, line height, alignment and text transform, and choose how text wraps (No Wrap, Wrap Words or Wrap Characters). Path Text places text along a Circle or Wave path with an adjustable offset.
Barcodes
We support 13 barcode formats:
Retail
EAN-13, EAN-8, EAN-5, EAN-2, UPC
Logistics
Code128, Code39, Code93, Codabar, ITF, ITF-14, MSI, Pharmacode
2D Codes
QR Code (4 error correction levels: L, M, Q, H)
Shapes
Lines, basic shapes, polygons, stars, arrows, callouts, tags and other geometric variations. Customize fill and stroke color, stroke width, line cap, dash pattern and arrow heads, the corner radius of rectangles, and the number of sides on a polygon.
Tables
Build spec panels, ingredient lists and parameter blocks with a real table object. Set the number of rows and columns, distribute row heights and column widths evenly, adjust cell padding and border width, and double-click any cell to edit its text. Each cell can keep its own font, size, alignment and text style, or inherit the table’s default text style.
Images
Import PNG, JPG, BMP, WebP and other common image formats. The built-in image processor is tuned for thermal printing:
- Crop & flip (horizontal / vertical)
- Adjustable monochrome threshold
- Invert colors
- Make white transparent
- Smooth edges
- Remove surrounding whitespace
