Vinyl Jacket Generator

Vinyl Jacket Designer

This is a tool to help you design cover jackets for your vinyl records. Paste in your own Spotify* playlist, or search from millions of albums and artists with automatic metadata, then format everything into a clean, print-ready layout with front cover, back cover, and spine.

How to design a Vinyl Jacket

1. Paste your playlist or search an album or artist ☝️ using the search bar.
2. Edit your design using the tabs below.
3. Download the jacket as a printable PDF, or click "Copy" and then "Paste & Print" to place it into your template.
4. This template is set up for home printing, but larger formats like 12-inch LP jackets will typically require a print shop or tabloid/A3 paper.

How to print, cut, and assemble a Vinyl Jacket

Vinyl jackets are typically made from heavier cardstock and folded into a sleeve that holds the inner sleeve and record.

• Print on heavier stock (at least 80lb – 100lb cover)
• Score all fold lines before folding to avoid cracking
• Use glue or double-sided adhesive on the side seams
• Allow for slight bleed — the design extends past trim lines intentionally

This generator creates print-ready vinyl jackets with properly spaced panels for front cover, back cover, and spine. You can easily input album details, track listings, credits, and artwork, and the layout will adapt to fit classic record sleeve proportions.

Why vinyl jackets?

Vinyl jackets are one of the most iconic formats for album artwork. Unlike digital thumbnails, they give space for large-scale visuals, typography, and storytelling.

From classic LPs to indie releases, the jacket is often just as memorable as the music itself. The front cover draws you in, the back cover gives context, and the spine lets it live on a shelf as part of a collection.

It’s packaging, but it’s also part of the experience.

Why did you make this?

After building tools for VHS, cassette tapes, CDs, and center labels, the next step was obvious. People wanted a way to design full vinyl packaging.

The vinyl jacket generator makes it easy to prototype, remix, and print your own covers — whether you're recreating classics, designing something new, or just seeing what an album could have looked like.
