Extract text from ZDP files
To convert your ZDP file to another format, you need Avery DesignPro or other Page Layout software.
To convert other file formats to the "Label Design" file type, you need software like Avery DesignPro or a similar tool.
A .zdp file is primarily associated with Avery DesignPro, a legacy desktop publishing application used to create business cards, CD labels, and mailing address labels. These files serve as project containers, storing layout geometry, text, embedded images, and database links for mail merges.
Because Avery DesignPro has been discontinued in favor of the web-based Avery Design & Print platform, users often face significant friction when trying to access archived .zdp files on modern operating systems like Windows 11 or macOS. The proprietary nature of the format means it cannot be natively opened by standard processors like Microsoft Word or viewed in web browsers. Furthermore, attempting to import legacy .zdp files into Avery's newer online tools frequently results in formatting errors or complete incompatibility.
To preserve the content of these aging files, the most practical solution is conversion. For archiving and printing purposes, converting to PDF is the gold standard, ensuring the layout remains fixed regardless of the viewing device. If you need to recover graphical assets like logos or background images, converting to JPG or PNG allows for easy extraction. In rare cases involving scientific data, a .zdp file may be a Zygo surface metrology package; these are often renamed ZIP files, allowing users to inspect the raw data by changing the extension.
Convert.Guru analyzes your ZDP file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

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 ZDP converter.
