PMADB cover tools

DVD Cover Generator

Create printable DVD covers with front, back and spine layouts in PMADB. Search movie or TV artwork and metadata, choose DVD Standard, DVD Slim or custom dimensions, adjust the design in the browser and export without opening Photoshop.

Format details

Choose DVD Standard for regular cases, DVD Slim for compact shelves, or a custom box size when your case needs different measurements. PMADB keeps the front, spine and back panels together so the exported cover matches the physical case instead of a generic image size.

Custom artwork uploads and custom-size exports are Supporter features. The editor still lets you preview and design before choosing the right plan.

DVD Standard uses a 273 x 183 mm wrap with a 14 mm spine for full-size DVD cases.
DVD Slim uses a 266 x 183 mm wrap with a 7 mm spine for thinner cases.
Both DVD layouts include front artwork, back artwork and a shelf-readable spine.
Custom box dimensions can define total width, height and spine size when the predefined cases do not fit.
Poster artwork, custom artwork, title data, synopsis and MediaInfo-style details can be adjusted before export.
