Print Labels from Google Sheets — No Add-ons Needed
Tired of fiddly Google Sheets add-ons that need permissions, break formatting, and cost money? OpenLabelMaker takes a CSV export from your Google Sheet and turns it into perfectly formatted labels. No extensions, no account, no cost.
The Google Sheets Add-on Problem
To print labels from Google Sheets, most guides tell you to install an add-on like Avery Label Merge, Labelmaker, or Foxy Labels. The problems:
Add-ons request access to all your Google Drive files and contacts.
Free tiers limit label count. Want more than 20 labels? Pay up.
Basic text formatting only. No barcodes, images, or precise layout.
Google API changes frequently break add-ons for weeks.
How to Print Labels from Google Sheets with OpenLabelMaker
Export your Google Sheet as CSV
In Google Sheets: File → Download → Comma-separated values (.csv). That’s it — your data leaves Google and stays on your computer.
Open the editor and pick your label size
Go to openlabelmaker.com/editor/ and choose your label — Avery 5160, Avery L7160, DYMO 99012, or any of 250+ built-in sizes.
Import your CSV
Click Import Data → Upload File and select your CSV. Your column headers become field tags: {Name}, {Address}, {City}.
Design your label
Add text elements and insert your field tags. Choose from 158 fonts, adjust sizes, add images or barcodes. The first row of data previews live on the canvas.
Export and print
Click Export → Batch PDF. Every row in your spreadsheet becomes a unique label. For sheet labels (Avery 5160 etc.), labels tile across the page automatically. Print the PDF.

FAQ
Can I use a Google Sheets URL directly?
Yes! OpenLabelMaker also supports pasting a Google Sheets share URL directly — no CSV export needed. The sheet must be set to “Anyone with the link can view”. Click Import Data → Google Sheets tab → paste URL.
Does my data leave my computer?
No. When you upload a CSV, it’s processed entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to any server. When using the Google Sheets URL feature, the sheet is fetched directly by your browser.
What if my Google Sheet has hundreds of rows?
No problem. OpenLabelMaker handles thousands of rows. Each row becomes a unique label in the exported PDF. For sheet labels like Avery 5160 (30 per sheet), 300 rows = 10 sheets.
