Frequently Asked Questions

Why would I need to convert HTML to ZPL?
Converting HTML to ZPL allows you to leverage web content for label printing. This is particularly useful when you have product information, shipping details, or other content already formatted in HTML that needs to be printed on labels. It eliminates the need to recreate the same content in a label design program.
How accurate is the HTML to ZPL conversion?
Our converter renders HTML using a headless browser engine to capture the visual representation, then transforms it into ZPL. The conversion preserves layout, text, tables, and basic styling. Complex CSS effects, animations, and interactive elements are simplified for label printing.
What HTML elements are supported?
Our converter supports standard HTML elements including headings, paragraphs, tables, lists, images, and basic CSS styling. For best results, use simple, print-oriented HTML with clear black text on white background, as thermal printers typically print in monochrome.
Can I customize the output before printing?
Yes, after conversion you can copy the ZPL code to our ZPL Viewer tool to make further adjustments to positioning, size, or add printer-specific commands before sending to your Zebra printer.
