Extract text from LABEL files
To convert your LABEL file to another format, you need DYMO Label Software or other Page Layout software.
To convert other file formats to the "Label Template" file type, you need software like DYMO Label Software or a similar tool.
A .label file is primarily a label layout design created by DYMO Label Software (DLS), the legacy application for designing and printing labels on DYMO LabelWriter printers. These files are XML-based containers that define the label's dimensions, text fields, barcodes, graphics, and printer settings.
While effective within the DYMO ecosystem, .label files present significant compatibility hurdles. They are proprietary to the now-deprecated DYMO Label Software v8, meaning they cannot be natively opened by standard operating systems, web browsers, or non-DYMO printers. Users often find themselves unable to view legacy label archives after upgrading to DYMO Connect (which uses the newer .DYMO format) or when sharing designs with colleagues who lack the specific drivers. To ensure long-term accessibility and universal printing, the best practice is to convert these files to PDF for archiving and standard printing, or to PNG and JPG for quick previews and digital sharing.
Convert.Guru analyzes your LABEL file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted DYMO, LBL, NLBL, PDF, CLABEL, GLABELS, LVD, LAB, PNG, FMT, DDL, JPG and PRV files.
If you want to convert LABEL file to ZPL, TMP, TEMP, CACHE, LOG, BAK, OLD, NEW, PART, DOWNLOAD, CRDOWNLOAD or LOCK, you can use DYMO Label Software or similar software from the "Label Design Layout" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DEVICE, CACHE, SOCK, SYMLINK, PID, MOUNT, FIFO, LOG, PIPE, TMP, JUNCTION or TEMP files to LABEL, try DYMO Label Software or another comparable tool in the "Label Design Layout" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our LABEL converter.
