I Built a Free Avery-Style Label Generator (Because Canva & Avery Cost Too Much)

I Built a Free Avery-Style Label Generator (Because Canva & Avery Cost Too Much)

I was looking at my Etsy shop and realized I was paying $13/month for Canva Pro just to design product labels. And Avery's online tool? You have to log in, you get watermarks on the free tier, and the customization is painfully limited.

So I built something better.

Product Label & Sticker Generator runs 100% in your browser. No signup. No watermarks. No subscriptions.

What you get:

  • 10 Avery standard size presets (5160, 5161, 5162, 5163, 5164, 8160, 8163, 5260, 5261, 5262)
  • Add product name, price, and description to each label
  • Optional barcodes (Code 128, EAN-13, UPC-A)
  • Batch mode — paste rows of data and generate labels in seconds
  • Toggle watermark on or off
  • Download a print-ready PDF arranged on letter/A4 sheets
  • Works offline once the page loads

Why I built it:

  • Canva Pro costs $13/month. I shouldn't pay for something I use once a month.
  • Avery's tool requires an account and slaps watermarks on free exports.
  • My product data should stay on my computer, not go to some server.
  • I wanted something simple, fast, and actually free.

This tool is built entirely client-side using JsBarcode and pdf-lib. No API calls, no tracking, no servers. You can even use it offline after the first load.

Open-source, free forever, no subscription trap.

Built for Etsy sellers, crafters, small business owners, and anyone tired of paying for tools that should be free.
