UnderCoverXP is an easy to use application designed to help you create CD and DVD covers at the correct size, providing a wide array of predefined settings.
The program lets you create two different covers at the same time and the whole process comes down to just a few clicks. The user thus needs to pick the format he needs, select the images to appear on the cover and hit the print button.
The predefined formats include CD front and back, DVD box, slimline DVD box 7 and 9mm, PlayStation Portable, PlayStation 3, Nintendo Wii, CD Inlay, Digital Photo, Blu-Ray and Canon Pixma CD-R tray.
It can work with the most popular image formats on the market, such as GIF, JPG, PNG and BMP, and comes with a wide array of supported languages, such as Finish, Polish and Chinese.
Besides the “Options” menu that includes tons of settings, one of the tools that impress is the so-called “Format Editor” that lets you play with each format options, such as size, paper tray size, labels and positions.
Unfortunately, there's no saving option, so you cannot save your project, which means printing is the only viable solution. There are no advanced editing tools, thus you're not able to add texts or other types of content beside photos.
Of course, UnderCoverXP remains very light on computer resources all the time, even when printing, as it uses the printing tool included in Windows.
Overall, UnderCoverXP does a good job when it comes to creating and printing covers on the go. And what's more, it is completely free.
