How to use the ZPL viewer
View ZPL with nothing to install
Paste your ZPL code into the editor and the rendered label appears instantly, right in your browser. You need neither a Zebra printer nor any extra software.
All processing happens on your device: the ZPL code is never sent to any server, so it is safe even with sensitive labelling data.
Adjust size and DPI for a faithful view
Pick the label size (or set a custom one in inches or millimetres) and your printer DPI (203, 300 or 600).
The preview updates instantly, so you see exactly how the label will look before printing and avoid wasting media.
From viewer to full editor
If you want to change the label, click “Open in editor” to take your ZPL into the full EditorZPL visual editor.
You can also download the preview as a PNG to document, share or validate the design with your team.

Frequently asked questions
What is a ZPL viewer?
It is a tool that interprets ZPL (Zebra Programming Language) code and draws the resulting label on screen, so you can see how it will print without a physical printer.
Do I need a Zebra printer?
No. The viewer renders the label in the browser, so you can inspect and validate ZPL on any computer with no printer connected.
Is my ZPL code sent to a server?
No. All parsing and rendering happen locally in your browser. Your code never leaves your device.
Why does the label look at a different scale?
Scale depends on the selected label size and DPI. Match them to your printer and the preview will be faithful.
Can I edit the ZPL after viewing it?
Yes. Click “Open in editor” and your code loads into the full visual editor, where you can change it and export again.
