ZPL DPI converter

Paste ZPL written for one density and get the same label for another: field positions, font sizes, boxes, label size and barcode heights are rescaled, for example by 1.5 going from 203 to 300 dpi.

How to use it

  1. Paste the ZPL and pick the density it was written for.
  2. Pick the density of your printer.
  3. Copy the result and read any note about what couldn't be rescaled.

Questions

Why does a 203 dpi label print small at 300 dpi?

ZPL measures everything in dots, and at 300 dpi dots are smaller, so the same numbers draw a label about two thirds of the size.

What can't be converted?

Bitmap graphics (^GF and ~DG) have a fixed number of dots, so they keep their pixels; regenerate them with Image to ZPL. Barcode module widths are rounded to whole dots, so check that codes still scan.

Are my labels uploaded?

No. The conversion runs in your browser.
