Morph guide

Morph designs your labels from a single sentence: three proposals, a visual review, and tools that appear when you need them. Here is everything it can do, and how to talk to it.

First steps

Open Morph and make your first label.

3 articles

Opening Morph

The Classic / Morph selector, at the top of the app.

In the top bar, choose Morph. Your choice is remembered. Labels are shared by both interfaces: what Morph creates opens in the Classic editor, and vice versa.

The Morph bar offers My labels, + New label, the format in millimetres and Export.

Your first label in thirty seconds

Describe what you want in your own words, then choose.

  1. On the Morph home page (“Hello.”), write what you want to print: the product, the information, and optionally the format.
  2. Send with Enter. Morph prepares three proposals in different styles.
  3. Click Choose this one under the one you like. Morph reviews it visually and fixes anything that overflows.
  4. Ask for tweaks in a sentence, then Export for the PDF.
Example requestsLabels for my organic lavender honey jars, 250 gA 100x60 shipping label with a tracking QR codeBadges for the attendees of my trade show

Writing a good request

What helps Morph get it right the first time.

  • The subject: “artisan jam jars”, “scented candle”, “warehouse cartons”.
  • The information to display: “with the scent, the weight and the use-by date”.
  • The format if you know it: “70x40”, “round, 50 mm”, “for an Avery L7163 sheet”.
  • The tone: “elegant”, “modern”, “handcrafted”, “black and white for a thermal printer”.
  • The real values when they are fixed: “Domaine des Trois Chênes, Côtes-du-Rhône 2021, 75 cl, 14% vol.”.

Morph knows the standard label mentions: best-before date (“Best before”, DDM in France) for groceries, use-by date (DLC) for fresh products, vintage, volume and “Contains sulphites” for wine, highlighted allergens.

Talking to Morph

The request bar, suggestions and context.

5 articles

The request bar

Type, add a new line, send, or dictate.

  • Enter sends; Shift+Enter adds a new line. Up to 2,000 characters.
  • The placeholder adapts: “Describe what you want…” on an empty page, “What do you want to change?” afterwards.
  • Dictate: if your browser supports speech recognition, speak your request in the app’s language (English or French).

Tweaking in a sentence

Colours, sizes, text, additions: just ask.

Once the label exists, each request modifies it instead of starting over. Morph sees the label as it will print and knows which elements exist.

Example requestsMake the title sage greenBigger priceAdd a “keep cold” pictogram at the bottom rightSwitch to 70x40Replace the QR code with an EAN-13 barcode

Targeting part of the label

Select elements: the request only applies to them.

Click one or more elements on the label: an “N SEL.” badge appears and the placeholder becomes “What do you want to change in the selection?”. “Bigger” or “bold” then only apply to them.

Morph remembers the conversation

Recent exchanges are taken into account.

The last five exchanges accompany each request: “a bit more”, “same as before for the title” or “undo the colour but keep the size” are understood.

Suggested next steps

Suggestion buttons under each reply.

After each reply, Morph suggests two or three logical next steps (“Change the colours”, “Add a barcode”…). One click sends them as if you had typed them.

Three proposals

Three design directions for every creation or redesign.

2 articles

Understated, bold, handcrafted

Three styles generated in parallel to compare.

DirectionFeel
Understated and classiclots of white space, a single subtle accent colour
Bold and graphicbanner or solid background, strong title, vivid accent
Warm and handcraftednatural palette, spaced small caps, thin rules

Each thumbnail is filled with the first row of your data, so you can judge on real content. Choose this one applies it; None of these work for me closes the choice so you can rephrase.

When Morph offers three versions

On creation, and with every redesign or layout request.

On an empty page, and whenever the request concerns the entire layout of an existing label: redo, beautify, modernize, suggest other versions, or build from your columns.

Example requestsMake it more modern and more beautifulShow me other versionsBuild it from the columnsCreate a label from my columns

A simple tweak (“make the title red”) edits the label directly, without going through the choice.

Review & defects

Morph measures the label and fixes what wouldn’t print well.

3 articles

Visual review

Morph looks at the printed render of its own proposal.

After a creation or redesign, Morph sends the AI an image of the label exactly as it will come out of the printer, filled with the longest data row. It critiques it like an art director, then corrects it.

After a tweak that creates a measured defect, it runs an automatic fix. If the fix makes things worse, it is discarded and the first version is kept.

Measured defects

What BoldLabels checks to the millimetre, on the worst row of your data.

DefectThreshold
Truncated or over-shrunk texttext ending in “…”, or shrunk below 80% of its size
Illegible textless than 6 pt when printed
Insufficient contrastbelow 4.5:1 (3:1 for a large title), 7:1 for small print
Too close to the edgeless than 1.5 mm margin, 2 mm for a barcode
QR code too smallless than 10 mm per side
Invalid EAN / UPC codewrong length, non-numeric characters or wrong check digit
Overlaptwo texts, codes, images or icons overlapping
Large empty areaempty band over 6 mm and a quarter of the height
Outside the labelelement extending beyond the format

The same layout rules are used on screen, in the checks and in the PDF: if Morph says nothing overflows, nothing overflows when printed.

Asking for a fix

Report a problem in your own words.

Example requestsThe text overflows, fix the layoutThe barcode is too crampedThere’s too much empty space in the middle

Built-in tools

Precise panels that open on demand, without leaving the conversation.

6 articles

Sheet

Page format, sheet templates, margins and spacing.

Page preview with the calculation “columns × rows = N labels per page, P pages”. Avery L7160, L7159, L7163, L7165, L7651 templates and six edge-to-edge formats (including 70 × 36, Zweckform 3475 type). A4, Letter or A5 format, portrait or landscape; margin, column gap and row gap from 0 to 100 mm.

Example requestsOpen the sheetPut them on an Avery L7163 sheet

Columns

Variables linked to the CSV, quantity per row and filters.

Links each {{ variable }} to a column in your file; {{ n }} (number) and {{ date }} (today’s date) are automatic. Quantity chooses the column that sets the number of labels per row. Filters: one click on a value excludes its rows.

Layers

Order, visibility, locking and properties of each element.

The list of elements from front to back, with move up / move down, hide and lock. For the chosen element: text, size, weight, alignment, colour, fill, stroke, corner radius, code content, position, size, rotation and opacity.

Library

Search, open or create a label.

All your labels, with a search, + New and Open. It is the only tool available with no label open.

AI-built tools

A custom slider or comparison tool, when you ask for one.

Ask for a tool (“a slider to adjust the title size”, “compare three palettes”): Morph writes a small interactive panel. Its header reads “WRITTEN BY AI” and Code and permissions shows exactly what it can change.

These tools run in isolation, with no network access; they can only adjust the elements they are allowed to, never create or delete any.

Pinning a tool

Keep your favourite tools within reach.

Pin, in a tool’s header, adds it to the bottom bar’s dock for this label (8 tools maximum).

Instant actions

Short phrases handled on the spot, with no AI and no quota.

What Morph does without AI

Open a tool, change format, rename, undo, export.

PhraseEffect
“sheet”, “templates”opens the Sheet tool
“columns”, “mapping”, “variables”opens the Columns tool
“layers”, “properties”opens the Layers tool
“library”, “my labels”opens the Library
“70x40”, “switch to 50 by 30 mm”changes the format (5 to 1000 mm)
“rename to ‘Summer Honey’”renames the label
“undo”, “redo”undoes or redoes the last change
“export to pdf”, “print”opens the PDF export

These phrases are recognized as a whole, instantly. As soon as a request says more, it goes to the AI.

Data & files

Drop in a CSV or a logo, view each row, export.

4 articles

Dropping in a CSV or a logo

Drag the file anywhere in Morph.

Drag a file onto Morph (“DROP · CSV OR PNG/JPEG LOGO” banner), or use Import a CSV or a logo in the palette.

  • CSV / TSV / TXT: Morph summarizes the data (“N rows, columns …”) and suggests “Create a label from my columns”. A new file replaces the previous one.
  • PNG / JPEG logo (1.5 MB max): replaces the selected image, otherwise is added at the top left. A label must be open.

Building from your columns

Morph picks the useful columns and lays them out.

After importing, ask for a label “from my columns”. Morph reads the headers, a sample row and the maximum length of each column: it leaves out technical IDs, captions short values (“REF.”, “QTY”), highlights the price and picks the right barcode.

Example requestsCreate a label from my columnsMake a 50x30 price label with the product, the retail price and the barcode

Each {{ variable }} is linked automatically to the column with the same name.

Browsing rows

See the label filled with each row.

Under the label, Previous row / Next row and the “i / N” indicator step through your data, filters and quantities included.

Exporting to PDF

The same export as the Classic editor.

Export in the top bar, “export to pdf” in the conversation, or the palette: you land on the Generate screen, with its sheets, its margins and its vector PDF with embedded fonts.

Direct editing

Select, move, undo, without going through the conversation.

4 articles

Selecting and moving

Click, drag and arrow keys directly on the label.

  • A click selects an element; an additive click (Shift) adds another.
  • Dragging moves; the arrow keys nudge, and with Shift in larger steps.
  • Delete or Backspace deletes the selection (except locked elements).
  • A click on empty space, or Esc, deselects.
  • Clicking the name under the label renames it.

Undo and redo

Each Morph reply is an undoable step.

The buttons in the bottom bar, Ctrl+Z, Ctrl+Shift+Z or Ctrl+Y. Successive adjustments in the same tool count as a single step.

Command palette

Ctrl+K: a tool, an action or a request, from the keyboard.

Ctrl+K (⌘K on Mac), or the grid button “Tools and commands”. Type to filter, use the arrows to navigate, Enter to run.

  • Tools: Sheet, Columns, Layers, Library, and your pinned tools.
  • Label: Rename, Undo, Redo, Export to PDF.
  • Data: Import a CSV or a logo.
  • Interface: Switch to the Classic interface.
  • Assistant: “Ask: …” sends what you typed to Morph.

Quota & demo mode

What a request costs, and what happens without AI.

3 articles

Included requests

An AI request quota based on your plan.

PlanAI requests
Free10 per week
Essentiel10 per day
Premium40 per day

The Morph badge shows the count, for example “AI · 6 / 10 THIS WEEK”. The quota refills every day, every Monday or every month depending on the plan.

Not counted: a refused or misunderstood request, a failed repair, the automatic review and instant actions.

Credits beyond the quota

One understood request = one credit, once the quota runs out.

When the quota is reached, each understood request uses a credit, charged only if the reply is applied. The badge then shows how many credits remain.

Demo mode, without AI

Always flagged: a “LOCAL DEMO · NO AI” badge and a note.

When the AI can’t be reached, or when both quota and credits are used up, a local engine takes over. It can create standard labels (jar, shipping, badge, price, storage, from columns), change the format, named colours and text size, and add a QR code or a barcode.

Every demo-mode reply is flagged with a note, for example: “The AI assistant is unavailable: this reply comes from demo mode, without AI.” Morph never presents a demo-mode reply as coming from the AI.

Privacy & limits

What is sent to the AI, and what Morph doesn’t do.

2 articles

What is sent to the AI

Your request, the label, a data summary and an image.

  • Your request and the last five exchanges.
  • The label description (elements, sizes, measured defects).
  • A summary of the data: headers, number of rows, one sample row and the maximum length of each column. The full file is never sent.
  • An image of the label filled with the longest row (so real values, logo included), for the review.

The AI provider key stays on our servers; the code of AI-built tools runs in isolation, with no network.

Limits to know about

What Morph can’t do (yet).

  • Two font families: Inter and JetBrains Mono.
  • Morph doesn’t invent data missing from your file: no EAN column, no real EAN.
  • Images only come in as files: Morph neither generates nor downloads images.
  • Only one CSV at a time in Morph (several in the Classic editor on Premium).
