Extract text from DesignPro label files (ZDP)
To convert ZDP label files to another format, you need Avery DesignPro or other Page Layout software.
To convert other file formats to the "Label Design File" file type, you need software like Avery DesignPro or a similar tool.
A .ZDP file is primarily a legacy label design project created by Avery DesignPro, a discontinued desktop application used for creating and printing physical labels, business cards, and dividers. These files store page layouts, vector graphics, raster images, text blocks, and barcode definitions.
Historically, these files were opened and edited exclusively with Avery DesignPro. Because the software is now obsolete and incompatible with modern operating systems, the .ZDP format is extremely problematic. The files are saved as proprietary Microsoft Compound containers. They do not open in modern web browsers, cannot be natively viewed on macOS or mobile devices, and trap your label designs inside a closed ecosystem.
Users urgently need to convert .ZDP files to PDF to ensure universal printing compatibility, or to JPG and PNG for digital proofing and archiving. However, standard online converters usually fail because reconstructing the exact printing layout requires the original rendering engine.
This file format is difficult to open or convert because it is a closed, proprietary format. Often only the original software can properly read or export the data. Just drag and drop your file into convert.guru to identify the format, view it, and convert it when possible. Our platform analyzes the internal structure of the file. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible. (Note: A small percentage of .ZDP files are ZIP-based surface metrology data packages from Zygo Corporation, or JetDB password manager databases from ZoneAlarm).
Convert.Guru analyzes your ZDP file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted ZPD, ZDL, PDF, JPG, ZIP, UDF, AVERY and ZWL files.
If you want to convert ZDP file to INDD, QXP, PUB, PMD, PM6, PM7, PM8, PM9, PM10, PM11, OMP or P65, you can use Avery DesignPro or similar software from the "Label Design Project File" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert MDI, PUB, PDP, PM4, P65, COMIC, WEBTEMPLATE, PMD, SPUB, INDD, PM5 or QXP files to ZDP, try Avery DesignPro or another comparable tool in the "Label Design Project File" 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 ZDP converter.
