Disketch review
A focused desktop choice for disc labels, covers, and jewel-case artwork.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Disketch is desktop label-design software for creating CD, DVD, and Blu-ray labels, covers, and jewel-case artwork. It is aimed at people producing physical discs who need to combine photos, graphics, text, artist information, and track lists in a printable layout. The software supports Windows and macOS, and NCH Software states that its free version is available for non-commercial use. This makes Disketch a focused fit for personal disc projects and small-scale physical media work rather than a general label-design system.
Its strongest area is the disc-specific workflow. Users can import photos and artwork, add, move, layer, resize, and align text and images, and import track names from a CD drive. Disketch can print on sticky labels or printable discs, while manual print-position adjustment helps align output with the selected media. It also creates jewel-case covers and can export files for a print shop, giving users options beyond direct home printing. These features make it practical when the finished design needs to cover both the disc and its packaging.
Pricing is straightforward at the product level: the published pricing shows a free version for non-commercial use and a paid starting price of $29.99 USD as a one-time purchase. Disketch is a good choice for disc-focused projects where desktop editing, track import, and physical printing matter most. It is less suited to teams seeking browser-based access, AI-assisted design, or broader label workflows with barcode, variable-data, automation, or integration features. Buyers who need those capabilities should look for a more general label-design product.
