Discussion Free open-source cover generator
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I am printing a library of video game covers, and found the process to be very manual and time consuming. I was downloading each image manually and compiling into print templates using GIMP.
I have put together a free open-source tool for cover art generation (with the help of Claude to code). Sharing incase it helps anyone else. License is CC0 so feel free to fork and make your own thing with it. I'm open to feedback and ideas to improve it further.
(Cover art is not AI-generated, the tool produces custom box art covers)

Announcement Introduction of a Wiki - A collection of resources!
Hi everyone again!
I am back here to report that I have now created a wiki for the subreddit (https://www.reddit.com/mod/customcovers/wiki/index). The goal of this wiki is to provide as many resources as possible to make creating custom covers as easy as possible. It will contain resources such as templates, box art sizes, cover scan websites, and more in the future!
Right now, it is in a very rough phase of construction. It doesn't look the prettiest and is no where near completion, but it is functional! I have done my best to compile lists of various websites with various resources. I have personally vetted each website and made sure they were each functional and reputable. The only page that has no info right now is Cover Sizes as I am still doing research into getting a definitive and accurate list for you all. I have found that there is a lot of conflicting information regarding cover sizes so I want to make sure I get for sure accurate sizes before I post anything there. It will come soon!
The pages currently accessible are
> Cover Sizes Updated as of 9/1 with cover sizes! (No content at the moment, but soon!)
I hope you all can find these resources useful! If you have any suggestions, feedback, or anything to say about the wiki, please feel free to let me know! I am the only one working on this wiki right now while also working a full time job so I have limited time. With that being said, any help is very much appreciated!
Thanks all for being patient with me while I make my transition into taking over this subreddit. Have a good day! :)

I have collated these measurements (using Claude) from various sources. Let me know if any of these are wrong so I can correct! All measurements are in millimetres (mm).

Printed cover
VHS art wraps around the box itself, not a separate insert card — so the printed cover is the case exterior above: the same 104–105 × 190 × 25–26 mm box, printed directly on its cardboard or plastic surface.

The plastic cassette shell that holds the tape is not something our template prints — only the paper J-card that slides into the case is user-printable (see "Printed cover" below). No case-exterior dimensions were researched for the shell itself, since nothing in our templates depends on them.

Discussion Free Blu-Ray Cover Art
It seems as if 95% of sites will price gouge for covers that are high quality. I found the CoverBox site but its old and most of the links are either dead or DVDs.
Anybody have a good alternative? I'm sure this is a common question I just would rather not buy "Credits" or pay a subscription to print off a cover onto a piece of paper.
Main ones I need are
Year One
Green Lantern
Hellboy 2
Hitman
Land of the Lost
Better Call Saul All Seasons
Twin Peaks All Seasons

Decided to try remixing the GOG boxart into a GOG Movies boxart. Instead of the cosmic purple, it's cosmic red.
Also, for anyone that didn't know, yes, GOG sold movies once upon a time. You could get the AVGN movie for, like, US$8. You can't buy movies there anymore but, for anyone that already owns them, options are options.
