Adding images

Image upload and properties
Image upload and properties
  • You can upload JPG · PNG · GIF · BMP · WebP · SVG files up to 4MB. Uploaded images are scaled to fit within 2000 pixels in width and height and recompressed to WebP; SVG files are turned into pixel images at this step.
  • Restore aspect ratio — Restores the original proportions if they got distorted while resizing.
  • Flip horizontally/vertically
  • Force monochrome when printing — At print time the image is converted to grayscale, and a brightness threshold is set automatically for each image from its brightness distribution (Otsu's method): areas lighter than the threshold become white and darker areas become black. Transparent areas stay as they are. Colored areas do not all turn black: light colors such as yellow or light blue can drop out as white. This is on by default for newly added images. When it is off, direct printing to ZPL · TSPL · EZPL printers splits the whole label into black and white at a brightness of 128, without dithering (no dot patterns that imitate gray).
