New features

  • Freeform Overlays & Color Customization

    Add multiple images anywhere on your DVD, Blu-ray or custom cover, including front, spine and back. Use your own images as overlays, alongside existing posters and backdrops, and freely position and resize them directly in the Live Preview. Reorder images and independent Front, Spine and Back color layers using drag-and-drop or arrow controls. Customize disc labels with color patterns and effects above or below artwork. Enjoy primary and secondary colors, multiple patterns and adjustable opacity, faster image selection, cleaner layer management, more intuitive visibility controls, organized sections and clearer descriptions. Hide or rearrange layers without losing their settings, with layer positions, colors and effects preserved in exported files.
