Note that this is scaled up a little bit, so that it bleeds over the edges. That’s intentional.

This is a generator for making print-ready CD labels. You can easily input your album or mix details, and the generator will format them into a printable CD disc label layout.

Why CDs?

Compact discs were the dominant digital music format from the late 1980s through the 2000s. They represented clarity, permanence, and ownership — a physical object you could hold, organize, and share.

Burning a CD was a ritual. You curated track order, burned at low speeds for quality, and designed a label or insert to match the mood. It was intentional and tactile in a way streaming playlists aren’t.

Why did you make this?

I made a VHS Label maker in early 2025, and after launching, several people asked me if I’d make generators for other physical formats. CDs were an obvious next step. This CD label generator is meant to reduce friction while keeping the fun part — designing, iterating, and printing something real.
