# Can USPS print my PDF?

USPS can print eligible shipping labels through Label Broker at participating Post Office locations, but that is not the same as printing the pages inside your PDF letter, form, invoice, notice, or document packet. If your PDF is the document you need mailed, use a print shop plus USPS mailing or an online print-and-mail service such as PostalForm.

## Quick answer
USPS Label Broker is for shipping labels. It can help when you have a Label Broker QR code or ID for a package label. It is not a consumer flow where you upload a PDF document and USPS prints the pages, puts them in an envelope, applies postage, and mails the letter.

| PDF or label need | USPS fit? | Better next step |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Print a prepaid package shipping label | Yes, if eligible for Label Broker | Bring the Label Broker QR code or ID to a supported location. |
| Create a package label online | Yes, through Click-N-Ship for supported packages | Use USPS Click-N-Ship. |
| Print a PDF letter or form | Not as a general USPS service | Use a library, print shop, office printer, or PostalForm. |
| Print and mail a PDF packet | Not as one USPS upload workflow | Use [Print and mail a PDF](/print-and-mail-pdf). |
| Mail a prepared paper envelope | Yes | Add correct postage or visit a USPS counter. |

## What Label Broker actually prints
USPS says Label Broker lets customers bring a Label Broker ID or QR code to a participating Post Office counter or self-service kiosk and get a shipping label printed. The package still needs to be packed and ready to ship.

That label is the outside package label. It is not the PDF content that goes inside a letter envelope. If your PDF is a cancellation letter, government form, signed notice, invoice packet, or dispute letter, you still need document printing and envelope preparation.

## If your PDF needs to become a mailed letter
Use this workflow:

1. Export or scan the document as one PDF.
2. Upload it to PostalForm.
3. Review the printable preview and page count.
4. Enter sender and recipient addresses.
5. Choose available print and mailing options.
6. Review the price before checkout.
7. PostalForm prints, envelopes, posts, and hands off the mailpiece.

This is different from USPS Click-N-Ship, which is mainly a package-label workflow, and different from Label Broker, which prints eligible labels for customers without a printer.

## USPS vs PostalForm for a PDF
| Task | USPS direct | PostalForm |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Print shipping label | Yes, through Click-N-Ship and Label Broker when eligible | Not the main use case |
| Print document pages | Not a general Post Office service | Yes, from PDF and supported converted files |
| Prepare envelope | You do it | Included in the workflow |
| Apply postage | You buy/apply postage or visit USPS | Included in checkout for standard mail |
| Add Certified Mail when eligible | Available through USPS service workflows | Available at checkout when the order qualifies |
| Review the final document | You inspect your own printed pages | PDF preview before payment |
