How to use this nutrition label generator
Enter serving information
Start by defining your serving size (amount in household measure, like "1 cup" or "3 cookies") and servings per container. These appear at the top of your label and determine how all nutrient values are displayed.
Input nutrient values
Enter values for each nutrient per serving: Calories, Total Fat, Saturated Fat, Trans Fat, Cholesterol, Sodium, Total Carbohydrate, Dietary Fiber, Total Sugars, Added Sugars, Protein, Vitamin D, Calcium, Iron, and Potassium. Percent Daily Values are calculated automatically based on FDA reference amounts.
Select label format
Choose the format that fits your packaging: Standard Vertical (default FDA format for most products), Tabular (horizontal layout for wide packages), or Linear (for very small packages).
Generate and download
Click "Download Label" to preview your nutrition facts panel. Download as PNG for digital use or send directly to your printer. Labels are print-ready at high resolution.
Tips for accurate nutrition labels
Use reliable nutrient data
The USDA FoodData Central database provides nutrient values for thousands of ingredients. For packaged products, use values from supplier specifications or laboratory analysis.
Round correctly
FDA regulations specify rounding rules for each nutrient. Our generator handles rounding automatically—simply enter your calculated values.
Verify serving sizes
FDA defines Reference Amounts Customarily Consumed (RACCs) for food categories. Your serving size should reasonably align with these standards.
Consider laboratory testing
For products making nutrient content claims ("low sodium," "high fiber") or sold through major retailers, lab analysis provides defensible accuracy.
Label format guidelines
| Format | When to Use | Minimum Package Size |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Vertical | Default for most products | 40+ sq inches |
| Tabular | Limited vertical space | 40+ sq inches |
| Linear | Very small packages | Under 12 sq inches |
| Dual Column | Single-serve packages | Any size |
| Bilingual | Multi-language markets | Any size |

Need help with nutritional calculations?
This generator creates labels from values you provide. If you need to calculate nutritional values for a recipe:
Use ingredient databases
USDA FoodData Central offers free access to nutrient data for thousands of foods.
Account for cooking changes
Some nutrients change with cooking methods. Factor this into your calculations.
Calculate per serving
Divide total recipe nutrients by the number of servings to get per-serving values.
For commercial products, consider professional nutritional analysis services for the highest accuracy.
Questions? View our complete FAQChoose a specific FDA label format
The generator above produces every FDA 2020 format. If you already know which format your packaging requires, these pages cover the specific rules, the FDA trigger conditions, and a generator preset for each.
Dual Column Nutrition Label Generator
Per-serving and per-container values side by side. FDA-required for 2–3 serving packages consumed in one sitting.
Tabular Nutrition Label Generator
Horizontal layout for packages where vertical space is limited but the panel still exceeds 40 square inches.
Linear Nutrition Label Generator
Single-line run-on format for very small packages under 12 square inches, such as sachets and single-serve sticks.
Bilingual Nutrition Label Generator
English and Spanish on a single compliant panel, with the FDA's required dual-language nutrient terms.
Common questions about creating a nutrition facts label
How do I create a nutrition facts label?
Enter your serving size and servings per container, add your per-serving nutrient values (calories, fats, sodium, carbohydrates, protein, and the four mandatory micronutrients), choose one of the six FDA 2020 formats, then download the finished panel as a 300 DPI PNG or a print-ready PDF. The whole process takes under three minutes and requires no account.
Can I create a nutrition facts label for free?
Yes. This generator is free with no usage cap, no signup, and no watermark on the output. Labels are rendered locally in your browser, so your recipe data is never uploaded to or stored on a server.
Which FDA nutrition label format should I use?
Use the standard vertical format for most packages over 40 square inches. Use tabular when vertical space is limited, linear for packages under 12 square inches, dual column for products containing 2–3 servings that could be eaten in one sitting, aggregate for variety packs, and bilingual when you need English and Spanish on the same panel.
Do I need lab testing to create a nutrition facts label?
Not in most cases. The FDA permits nutrient values derived from a database calculation using a reliable source such as USDA FoodData Central. Laboratory analysis is recommended for heavily processed products, fried or coated foods, and any product making a nutrient content claim such as "low sodium" or "high fiber." Our calculation vs lab testing guide covers the decision in detail.
What resolution are the downloaded labels?
Labels export at 300 DPI, which is print-ready for commercial packaging. You can download as PNG or PDF, and neither carries a watermark.
How this generator builds your label
We are transparent about exactly what the tool does. You enter your nutrient values and serving information; we arrange them into the layout the FDA specifies in 21 CFR 101.9 — correct nutrient order, the mandatory items added in the 2020 update (added sugars, Vitamin D, potassium), minimum font sizes, and the bold calorie display. Percent Daily Values are computed automatically from the FDA's published reference values, and figures are rounded using the FDA's rounding conventions.
Everything is rendered locally in your browser. The data you enter is not uploaded to or stored on our servers, so a proprietary recipe stays private. Finished labels export as a 300 DPI PNG or a print-ready PDF — no watermark, no signup.
Reference data for calculating your own values comes from the USDA's FoodData Central. Important: the tool formats and calculates, but does not verify the accuracy of the values you enter, and does not by itself guarantee compliance. For commercial products, confirm your label against current regulations with a food regulatory specialist. Full details are in our disclaimer.
