I built a tiny app that fixes Australia Post shipping labels for thermal printers
I built LabelChop because I kept seeing small ecommerce sellers waste time fighting with shipping labels..
The specific problem:
A lot of small sellers still end up with A4 shipping label PDFs from Australia Post, marketplace exports, or older workflows, even when they really want a clean 4x6 / 100x150mm thermal label.
MyPost Business can be set to A6 for some labels, but the annoying part is when you already have an A4 PDF or your workflow keeps producing one.
In those messy cases, the workflow becomes:
- download the PDF
- open it in Acrobat/Preview
- crop or screenshot the label
- mess with print scaling
- waste a few labels testing
- repeat this every time you ship orders
LabelChop watches your downloads folder, detects new shipping label PDFs, crops/resizes them, and sends them to your thermal printer automatically.
I also made a free browser tool for one-off conversions if you just need to fix a label quickly. (no sign-up needed)

It’s intentionally boring and narrow.
Would love feedback from anyone who sells online or prints shipping labels regularly.
