How to save the free nutrition facts panel?
A number of users of the free nutrition facts labeling tool have asked me how to save the created panels.
If you would like to incorporate the nutrition facts panel to another document, the best way is probably to print it to pdf format. You can then open the file in Acrobat Reader or another software that reads pdf files and from there cut & paste it or use it in any other way. This is a better solution than taking a screenshot, as you won’t lose in resolution.
If you work on a Macintosh, the “Print to pdf” function is built-in. On Windows, a number of free (and not free) tools will allow you to do that. For example, see the list of pdf software on Wikipedia.
If you want to share the way you are using the free tool to create nutrition facts panels, leave a comment below.

Once the label shows up you can use the “Snipping Tool” from Microsoft. It allows you to select a rectangular box and save whatever is in it as an image file. Search google for it.

Discouraged user: this can happen if you have used the back button of your browser. It is just a display problem. You can fix it easily by switching the display once between “actual value” and “percent”, and back.

Oput,
You could try the snipping tool (see a few comments above) and add the nutrition panel to word in image form.

Kisha,
Not at the time being, but I will add this feature as time allows.

Here’s another vote for a way to incorporate a list of ingredients AND it would be delightful to have a suggestion for software to help print/layout a sheet of labels. Trying to customize labels in MS Word is mind-bending and terribly aggravating…

Votes for the ability to include the name of the recipe, list the ingredients, and to save data label as jpg.

another vote for being able to convert the label into a jpg. print to pdf is not in my vocabulary…. thanks for having this available!

wow this saved me from making a nutrition info label by hand but now i cant save it because my word is currently not working….:( (pouty face) why do i have to make a nutrition label for a math project anyway?..

Nice job. Would be interested in a lightweight desktop or web app that would create labels for spice blends.
April 6th, 2010 at 11:13 pm
everytime i try to create the labe it says The following parameter is empty or badly formatted: Serving size in gram or mL, although i have made labels in the past

How can I use the snipping tool??
It would be very helpfull to me!!

Is there a way to add ingredient list, allergent information below the Nutrition Facts

Now the only thing I need to know is how to drag the picture itself onto Microsoft Word on a Mac. How do you blow the image up once (and if) you get it onto Microsoft Word in picture form?

This is a great app and thank you for sharing it!! I am still experimenting with it so far, but it would be good to have capability to also select “about” for
Servings per Container, that didn’t seem an option yet.
This still beats trying to mock a NF panel up in Excel, then passing on the FDA specifications to our graphics guy for him to try to format!
Thanks very much!

I’ve been using a nice little free program called Screen Grab Pro for years.
From CNet: “Screen Grab Pro is a screen capture tool. It features one click grab of any screen for ease of use, timer operation, instant grab of any region, save JPEG, hotkey in any window, current window selection list. Screen Grab Pro copies a Bitmap to clipboard ready for pasting in your favorite picture editor. Version 1.5 adds Windows Vista support.”

Thank you for this tool. I do have a special project that has many of the facts in mg instead of grams so the label is not turning out correct. Is there an option for that? The serving size is only 20 grams……Example: my Cargs are 40 milligrams and not grams…. if I use a .4 entry the default is zero.
Any suggestions?
Thanks again.
