About the site
What is SupplierTools?
SupplierTools is a small collection of free web tools for people who sell on Indian marketplaces like Meesho. Each tool does one boring job well, such as cropping the tax invoice off a shipping label PDF for a 4x6 thermal roll and grouping identical products together in the print pile.
Can I crop the tax invoice off my Meesho shipping labels?
Yes. Upload the label PDF from your supplier panel and pick a size: a true 4x6 thermal label, a 6x4 landscape one, four labels on a single A4 sheet, or the label at its own size. The tax invoice is cut away and taken out of the file, not just hidden under a smaller page. It is free, there is no sign-up, and nothing is uploaded.
Is it free? What is the catch?
The tools listed today are free, with no sign-up, no page limit and no watermark. There is no catch. They cost me almost nothing to run because there is no server: your browser does all the work. If I ever build a heavier tool that genuinely costs money to operate, it will be clearly marked as paid and the free tools will stay free.
Do you see my orders, customer names or addresses?
No. There is no server and no database. Your PDF is opened, read and rewritten inside your own browser tab. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is logged, and no account is created. After the page has loaded once you can even switch off your internet and the tools keep working.
Where is my saved data kept?
Your shop names, SKU mapping and settings are stored in your browser using localStorage. They stay on that one device and that one browser. Clearing your browser data removes them, and you can export a backup from the settings screen.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Open the site in Chrome, Safari, Edge or Firefox on a phone or a laptop and start using it. You can add it to your home screen if you want it to feel like an app.
Can I see the code?
Yes. The whole site and every tool are open source on GitHub. If you do not want to take my word for the privacy claims, read the code or run it yourself.
Can you build a tool for my workflow?
Quite possibly. Message me on WhatsApp at +91 99887 44669 with what you are doing by hand every day. If it is a common problem I will build it and put it here for free.
Which marketplaces do you support?
Meesho today. Flipkart and Amazon tools are planned. Tell me which one you need most and it moves up the list.
Meesho Label Crop & Sort
How do I crop the tax invoice off a Meesho label?
Upload the label PDF from your supplier panel, open Settings and pick a crop mode: label only, thermal 4x6, thermal 6x4, or four labels on one A4 page. The tool finds the TAX INVOICE band on every page and cuts just above it, then gives you the file back. Nothing is uploaded and there is no sign-up.
Why do other label croppers leave a black TAX INVOICE strip on my labels?
Because they cut at a fixed distance down the page. The invoice band does not sit at the same place on every label: across one real 152 page export it started at five different positions depending on the delivery partner, a spread of about 33 points. A fixed cut is therefore wrong for some couriers, and the leftover is the black TAX INVOICE bar. This tool reads each page and finds the band instead, so the cut lands in the right place whichever courier the label is for.
Is the invoice really removed, or just hidden?
Really removed. Some tools only shrink the page box, which hides the invoice on screen while leaving the text inside the file, so your GSTIN, the buyer’s billing address and your taxable value can still be pulled out of the PDF you hand to a packer or a courier. This tool re-draws each label into a new page through a clipped form, so the invoice is not in the output at all. You can check: open the cropped file and search it for GSTIN.
Is the 4x6 output a real 4x6?
Yes, exactly 288 by 432 points, which is 4 by 6 inches. It is worth checking whatever tool you use, because a common shortcut is to keep the full A4 width and only trim the height, which gives a page around 8.3 by 5.1 inches. That is not a 4x6 and it will not fill a thermal roll properly.
Can I crop and sort in the same run?
Yes, and that is the point of doing both here. The labels come back cropped to the size you picked and already grouped by delivery partner, product, size and quantity, with the product name printed under each one. You can also split the output into one file per courier.
What happens if a page has no tax invoice on it?
It is passed through whole rather than cut at a guess. If a page carries invoice content but the tool cannot find the band to anchor on, it cuts at an estimated position and tells you how many pages that happened to, so you can check those before printing.
Is the Meesho Label Crop & Sort tool really free?
Yes. It is free to use with no sign-up, no page limit and no watermark. There is no paid tier for this tool and no card is ever asked for.
Do my shipping labels get uploaded anywhere?
No. The PDF is opened and rewritten inside your browser using JavaScript. It never leaves your phone or computer, and the site has no server that could receive it. You can disconnect from the internet after the page loads and the tool still works.
Which file do I upload?
The shipping label PDF you download from the Meesho supplier panel, usually named something like Sub_Order_Labels_xxxx.pdf. You can select more than one file at a time.
How does it know the product name?
Meesho labels carry the SKU ID, not your internal product name. The first time you upload a file the tool collects every SKU ID it finds and asks you to give each one a product name. That mapping is saved on your device, so from the second file onwards it is automatic.
Can several SKU IDs share one product name?
Yes. That is exactly what the mapping screen is for. Pick a product name on the left, tick all the SKU IDs that belong to it on the right, and every one of those labels will print the same name. You can turn this whole feature off in Settings if you would rather print the raw SKU ID.
Can I get a separate PDF for each courier?
Yes. In Settings, tick Delivery partner under "Make separate files" and you will get one PDF per courier, ready to hand over to each pickup.
I run more than one Meesho shop. Can I use it for all of them?
Yes. Add as many shops as you like and switch between them from the shop name in the header. Each shop keeps its own product names and SKU mapping, so a SKU ID you named under one shop never leaks into another. Sorting and printing preferences are shared across shops.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. It works in Chrome or Safari on Android and iPhone as well as on a laptop. Large files are slower on an older phone, but they do finish.
Will it work with Flipkart or Amazon labels?
Not yet. It is built around the Meesho label layout. Flipkart and Amazon versions are on the list, message me on WhatsApp if you want one sooner.
