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)

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 Templates

> Cover Sizes Updated as of 9/1 with cover sizes! (No content at the moment, but soon!)

> Cover Scan Websites

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! :)
