Drop your DHL label here

MyDHL+, DHL Express, DHL eCommerce, Parcel UK / NL

How it works

  1. 1

    Upload

    Drop a DHL shipping label PDF or image. It stays on your device.

  2. 2

    Pick output size

    Choose 4×6 thermal, A6, half-page sticker, or any custom size.

  3. 3

    Resize & download

    We re-render the label at the new size and hand back a fresh PDF.

DHL labels usually print on A4 with the label in the upper portion of the page. For 4 × 6 thermal printers, pick 4 × 6 in and try “Crop top half” first; switch to “Crop top-left 4 × 6” if your provider prints in the corner. DHL Express MAWB PDFs that include manifest pages can be batch-resized in one go.

Supported output sizes

A4 → 4 × 6 thermal is the most common DHL conversion.

DHL label resizing — FAQ

▶ How do I convert a DHL A4 label to 4 × 6 thermal?

Upload the A4 PDF, pick 4 × 6 in and the "Crop top-half" fit mode. Most DHL platforms (MyDHL+, eCommerce, Express) print the label in the top half of the A4 page; this preset extracts it for thermal printers.

▶ Does it work with MyDHL+ and DHL Express?

Yes. MyDHL+, DHL Express, DHL eCommerce Solutions, DHL Parcel UK / NL, plus marketplace DHL exports (eBay, Etsy, Shopify) are all supported.

▶ What if the DHL label is already A6?

Pick "A6" as the output and use the "Fit" mode — you keep the native size, and the tool just embeds the label cleanly in a single-page A6 PDF. Or pick 4 × 6 to scale it up for thermal printers.

▶ Are DHL barcodes preserved?

Yes. Code 128 1D and Data Matrix 2D barcodes are re-rendered from the vector source, so they scan correctly at the new size.

▶ Does anything get uploaded?

No. The label is processed locally with pdf-lib and pdf.js — nothing leaves your device.

How to Use DHL Label Resizer

To resize a DHL shipping label, upload your DHL PDF label file. DHL Express and DHL eCommerce typically generate labels on A4 or Letter-size PDF pages. This tool extracts and rescales the actual label area to fit standard 4×6 thermal label paper used by most shipping label printers.

Select the target output size — 4×6, A6, or custom dimensions — click Resize, and download the processed PDF. The entire operation runs in your browser without uploading your label. Print the result directly on your thermal printer without needing to adjust printer settings manually.
