Hey everyone! I built a tool to solve a problem I kept running into as a Yoto parent, and thought I'd share it with the developer community.
Give it a try 👉 https://yotolabels.com/
The Story
My kids couldn't tell their MYO cards apart. The plain white cards all looked the same to them, so I started making custom labels.
At first, I used Canva templates I found on Pinterest. Then Google Slides. Then tried designing in Photoshop. Every approach had the same problems: getting the 2" × 3.5" dimensions exactly right was tedious, the layouts never quite fit when printed, and I'd spend 20 minutes per label just getting things aligned.
I kept thinking, "There has to be a better way to do this."
So I built one.
What It Does
Yoto Labels is a simple web app that handles the annoying parts automatically:
Upload any image, it auto-crops to perfect Yoto card size
Download a PDF formatted for your printer (A4, US Letter, or photo printers)
See a preview before printing
Optional templates if you want a starting point
Everything runs in your browser, privacy-first. No account needed, free to use.
Why I'm Posting
I already shared this on Reddit where it seems the pain is real. Now I'd love to hear from the Yoto developers community. Does this fill a real gap? Is the approach useful? Any obvious improvements I'm missing?
I know there are Canva templates and DIY guides out there, but I wanted something more streamlined. Less hunting for templates, less manual sizing, less friction.
Would love any feedback or thoughts! Thanks for checking it out.
