# Label Format Preferences

You can set a default label format in your shipping settings so that every label is generated in the format your printer or workflow requires.

## Available formats

- **PDF** – Best for standard office printers. Prints on regular paper or adhesive label sheets.

- **PNG** – Image format. Useful if you need to embed labels in other documents or use custom print workflows.

- **ZPL** – Zebra Programming Language. Designed for thermal label printers commonly used in shipping and warehouse environments.

## How to set your default

- Go to **Workspace Settings > Account Settings**.

- Open the **Shipping** tab.

- Select your preferred label format.

- Save.

This sets the default for all users in your workspace. Individual users can still download labels in other formats from the order detail page.
