Vinyl Designer

Record artwork, ready to post.

Vinyl Designer lays out your record for you. Choose a 7", 10" or 12" disc, pick a label look from the built-in templates, then add your artist name, title and catalogue number. When it looks right, export a square, portrait or landscape image.

What you make

The promo-record look, already laid out.

The 11 built-in templates are mostly promo-pressing styles: a white label carrying artist, catalogue number and track list; a yellow house-music label; a silver radio-copy stamp; a blank white label with a single question mark. Apply one and it keeps your current canvas size, so you only change the text and the artwork.

How it works

Three steps to a finished image.

  1. 01

    Pick a look

    Open the Templates page and apply one of the 11 built-in layouts, or start from the default: a black 12" record on a 1080x1080 canvas. Then set the disc up - size, solid colour, one of 62 vinyl textures or a full-disc image, and the centre label.

  2. 02

    Add your text and artwork

    Text, shapes, icons and images all go on as layers. Click to select, drag to move, drag a corner to resize, double-click text to edit it in place. Each line of text can sit on the record and turn with it, sit over the record, or stay fixed on the canvas.

  3. 03

    Export it

    Choose a size and a format, then export. The centre canvas is a live preview drawn by the same renderer as the export, so the file you get is the layout you were looking at.

In the editor

Everything the editor gives you.

Controls on the left, the canvas in the middle, the selected layer's properties on the right, and your layers along the bottom.

Templates and files

  • Autosave, and recovery after an unexpected close

Formats and sizes

Sized for the post you're making.

Export a still image as PNG, JPEG or WebP. Animated GIF export is offered when your background is an animated GIF: the whole mockup is re-rendered for every frame and the source timing is kept.

  • Custom sizes from 16 to 8192 px a side, and you can name one to reuse it.
  • A quality slider for JPEG and WebP, 92% by default.
  • PNG keeps a transparent background; JPEG and WebP fill it, and the app says so before you export.
  • Export a .zip holding the image and the editable project file together.

Local by default

Rendering and export happen on your computer.

There is no account and nothing to sign up for. The disc, the text and the finished image are all drawn on your own machine, and the fonts and textures ship with the app rather than being fetched while you work.

  • No account
  • Nothing to install to try it
  • Fonts and textures bundled
