DYMO to PDF

Open DYMO label files as PDF, without DYMO software. Upload a .dymo file from DYMO Connect or a .label file from DYMO Label, and get the label on its own stock size as a PDF you can share, review or print on any printer.

Moving the label to a Zebra? DYMO to ZPL. Have BarTender files too? BTW to PDF.

Preview: Support for this format is new and still improving. Check the output against a known-good print before you rely on it. If a label doesn’t look right, let us know.

On-screen barcodes: A barcode that won’t scan off your screen isn’t necessarily wrong. Browser PDF viewers redraw the page at whatever zoom fits the window, and that rounding thickens or drops the hairline bars a scanner needs. The PDF keeps the exact geometry underneath — print it, or zoom in first, and the barcodes scan normally.

Note on Watermarks: Free online conversions include a LabelZoom watermark. Need to remove watermarks for production, or process thousands of labels per minute? Check out our REST API subscriptions

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about converting DYMO label files to PDF.

What are .dymo and .label files?
They are label designs saved by DYMO's software for LabelWriter printers. DYMO Connect saves .dymo files, and the older DYMO Label software saves .label files. Both describe the label stock, such as 30252 Address or 30334, and the text, bar codes, pictures and lines placed on it.
Can I open a DYMO label file without DYMO software?
Yes. Upload the .dymo or .label file above and the label comes back as a PDF page, laid out on its label stock. You don't need DYMO Connect, DYMO Label or a LabelWriter on the computer, so anyone you send the PDF to can see the label too.
What size is the PDF?
The size of the label the design was made for, turned the way it was designed. A .label file states its paper exactly. A .dymo file states only the area inside the label's margins, so the page is that area with an equal margin on each side, which can come out slightly larger than the stock. Choose a size under Label Size to set it yourself.
What happens to fields filled from a spreadsheet or by DYMO at print time?
A field linked to a data column shows the value saved in the design, or the column's name when the design has none. A counter shows its current value, and a date shows the day you convert the file. To fill fields with real data, convert through the REST API and pass the values in the request.
Which parts of a design don't come across?
Mirrored objects print unmirrored, and the POSTNET bar code an address object can carry isn't drawn. Colors become black or white, and every font becomes a regular or bold sans, so text can run slightly wider or narrower than in DYMO's preview.
