Where to find it
In the editor, find the section called Label and paper size. That’s where you pick how big each label should be, and what paper you’re printing on.
There’s also a small mm / in switch if you’d rather see sizes in inches. Same settings either way.
Label size
This sets how big each label is on the sheet.
- Yoto Card: the standard MYO card face (54 × 85.6 mm). Use this for labels that stick straight onto the card.
- Library Pouch: a smaller insert size for pouch-style systems where the art slides in.
- Thumbnails: smaller again, when you want more mini labels on one page.
- Custom: your own width and height (more on that below).
When you change label size, the sheet preview updates, and so does how many labels fit on the paper you picked.
Custom label size
Need something that isn’t one of the presets? You can save your own size and reuse it.
Open the label size menu
Under Label and paper size.
Choose + Custom Label Size
At the bottom of the list.
Give it a name
Something you'll recognise later, like Mini cards.
Set width and height
Use mm or in with the toggle in the form. The allowed range is shown underneath the fields. Custom sizes can't be larger than a standard Yoto card.
Select Create
Your new size appears in the label size menu and stays saved in your browser for next time.
After that, pick it from the label size menu like any other option. You can come back and edit a saved custom size later if the measurements need a tweak.
Paper size
This is the sheet (or photo printer paper) you’ll print on. Each option shows how many labels fit, like US Letter (9 labels).
For a regular home printer you’ll usually pick from:
- A4: common in the UK, Europe, and most of the world
- A5 and A6: smaller sheets if that’s what you have
- US Letter: the usual size in the US and Canada
- US Legal: longer than Letter, if that’s what your printer is set up for
- US 4×6 Photo: a small photo sheet
If you use a Cricut or a pocket photo printer (Canon Ivy, HP Sprocket, and similar), those options show up in the same menu when you’re on the standard Yoto Card size.
If you’re not sure, pick whatever paper your printer normally uses. Keep that same size in your printer tray and in the print dialog when you print.
Smaller paper often fits fewer labels
If you switch to a size with fewer slots (for example A4 down to A5) and some of your filled labels would leave the current view, you’ll get a confirmation first. Your work isn’t deleted. It’s saved, and those labels show up again if you switch back to a larger layout.
How the two work together
Label size is the sticker. Paper size is the page. Together they decide how many labels land on each sheet. When you export, print at 100% scale. “Fit to page” shrinks everything, and the labels won’t match the card.
