PyCDCover – Free tool to create CD covers from MP3 tags

,
1

I developed a small free and open-source tool called PyCDCover.

It creates CD covers automatically from the tags of MP3 files.
It can generate covers for single albums or multi-album compilations.
The program supports multiple languages: Breton, Spanish, French and English.

Steps:

1 - Enter the CD title
2 - Retrieve the tags from the folder containing the songs
3 - Edit or correct the tags if necessary
4 - The program automatically finds album cover images using the artist and album tags. There are sometimes errors. If an image is not found, a default orange image is used and can be replaced manually.
5 - Choose the background color
6 - Generate the front and back cover
7 - Export the PDF ready to print

Out of curiosity, what tools do you use to create CD covers (single or multi-album)?

PyCDCover allows you to create CD covers. It is free and open-source software. It runs on GNU/Linux and Windows.

New versions for Windows and GNU/Linux have just been released:

Version 2.6.0:
GitHub Releases

PyCDCover is now distributed as a .deb package for Ubuntu 24.04 and Ubuntu 26.04 (64-bit).

This format allows Ubuntu to automatically manage the required dependencies and makes installation easier. It replaces the AppImage distribution.
