What Disketch is
Disketch is desktop software for making labels and covers for CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray discs, including jewel case covers. You can import photos or artwork, select a background color, and arrange text and images in layers. Text can be styled, formatted, resized, and aligned. Disketch imports track names directly from an audio CD in the computer’s disc drive. Finished designs can print on sticky labels or directly on printable discs, and files can be exported for a print shop. Direct disc printing requires a disc printer. The software runs on Windows 7 to 11 and macOS 10.5 or later. A free edition is available for non-commercial use, and a free trial is offered. Paid choices include $39.95, paid once for home use, $49.99, paid once for a commercial license, and a commercial quarterly plan at $11.64 a month, billed 11.64 USD quarterly. Disketch can automatically recover a project after an interruption or crash.
