Free forever for one computer · no account needed to print · installs in seconds
Three things, one printed line.
Your web app talks to a tiny local agent, which talks to your printer. That's it: nothing leaves your machine, no drivers to wrangle.
Design the label, then print it.
A real designer in your browser. Barcodes, QR, your logo: laid out once, printed at true size, forever.
Drag-and-drop designer
Text, images and shapes on the exact size you print: 4×6, 2×1, custom, or a full Avery sheet. See the designer →
Barcodes & QR, built in
Code 128, QR, Data Matrix, PDF417: sharp and scannable, no fonts. Barcode labels →
Dates & serial numbers
Auto-fill the date and increment a serial on every label. No spreadsheet. Auto-numbering →
Your logo, on the label
Upload it once, reuse it everywhere. Your brand on every package.
Shapes, lines & rotation
Boxes and rules to frame the label. Rotate any element to any angle.
Preview at true size
The canvas is the real label size. What you see is exactly what prints.
This is what comes out.
Not a mockup: an actual 4 × 6 rendered by PaperReady's own engine, the same code that sends it to your printer. Scannable barcode, live QR, your fonts baked in.
- Real Code 128. Scans on the first pass: drawn as bars, not a barcode font.
- Live QR. Encodes an actual tracking URL, generated right on the label.
- True 4 × 6. Edge to edge, exact size, never shrunk to fit a letter page.
- Your type & layout. The fonts, weights and spacing you set, pixel for pixel.
- The preview is the print. One engine renders the canvas, the PNG and the printer.
- Open the designer
Seeing is believing. Print one yourself.

Reprint from history
See what printed, reprint in a click. Export it all to CSV on Business.
Works with your gear
Zebra, DYMO, Brother, Rollo, MUNBYN. If your OS sees it, we print to it.
Local & private
The bridge binds to your machine. Labels never leave your computer.
Not another metered printer tool.
Printing happens on your own machine, so it costs us nothing, which means we never charge you for it. You pay to run an operation, not to press print.
Fractions of a cent per label, daily caps, a paywall mid-shift.
Flat price. Print as many labels as you want, on every plan, forever.
A different app for every printer: Zebra here, DYMO there, Rollo somewhere else.
One app for every brand your computer can already see.
A $100-plus-a-month platform subscription just to print a shipping label.
Standalone. Free to start, $12/mo when you outgrow one desk.
Your labels, your machine, your data.
Local-first and private by design. Here's exactly what that means, no fine print.
Nothing leaves your machine
Print locally and the label goes straight from your browser to the printer. It never touches our servers.
No open ports
The Print Bridge listens only on localhost. It never opens a port to the internet.
No trackers, no ads
First-party, cookieless analytics: no third-party trackers or ad networks, ever.
Yours to take
Raw ZPL, an open API, and CSV export. Your designs and data leave with you, no lock-in.
Free, and it keeps going
Free forever on one computer. Cancel a paid plan anytime and keep all your data.
Open in the print path
Built on self-hosted, MIT-licensed libraries: no CDNs or third parties between you and your printer.
Free to start. $12/mo when you grow.
Unlimited printing on every plan. Pay for workstations, batch printing, and full history, never for the labels themselves.
Print from anywhere.

Embed printing in your product.
Print from your own app straight to your users' label printers. The local API is free and client-side; the metered cloud API prints from your backend at $0.01 per delivered print, with API keys, usage, and billing in a dedicated developer console.
Sean Hilton
Founder, PaperReady
An independent product by Hiltos LLC, Michigan
Printing a 4×6 shouldn't mean a $100-a-month platform, a brand-locked app, or a label shrunk into the corner of a letter page. So I built the missing piece, a tiny local agent and a real designer, and made printing itself free.
Straight answers.
Is it safe to let a website talk to my printer?
Does it work offline?
What if I stop paying?
What if PaperReady shuts down?
Why trust a brand-new tool?
Do I need special drivers?
Ready to print?
Install the free agent, connect the printer you already own, and send your first label in about a minute.
