J-Card Studio
Cassette Label & Cover Maker
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Turn any Spotify playlist into a real cassette J-card with matching labels: artwork, lyrics, liner notes, a QR code back to the music, printed at exact size.
Design and print cassette J-cards, tape inserts, and matching cassette labels — right from your iPhone. J-Card Studio is the mixtape cover maker for anyone who still loves a real tape.
PASTE A SPOTIFY PLAYLIST, GET A CARD
Drop in a public Spotify playlist link (or search Apple Music for an album) and the whole tracklist, cover art, and running times fill in automatically, split across Side A and Side B. A QR code on the spine scans straight back to the playlist, so whoever picks up the tape can find the music.
ARTWORK THAT FITS
Use the album art or your own photo. Drag it into place, pinch to zoom, twist with two fingers to rotate — it snaps square when you let go — and stretch it across the front, spine, and back flap.
LYRICS AND LINER NOTES
Lyrics fetch automatically and typeset themselves to fit however many fold-out panels your card has. Liner notes can be written by hand or generated for you: artist bios, track trivia, and real connections between the artists on your tape.
EVERY DETAIL IS YOURS
Fonts, colors, panel count, title placement, a description panel, and cassette shell labels for both sides built from the same design.
PRINTS AT TRUE SIZE
Print over AirPrint or export a PDF or PNG. Cut lines, fold guides, and a 100 mm calibration bar are built into every page, so what you see in the app is exactly what comes out of the printer and fits a real cassette case.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No accounts, nothing collected. Your designs stay on your phone. The app goes online only when you search for music, artwork, or lyrics.
TRY IT FREE
7 days or 10 printed cards, whichever comes first — no payment info needed and nothing converts automatically. Then choose how to keep printing: buy J-Card Studio once for $2.99 (10 cards every month, forever), or subscribe for $2.99/month for unlimited printing, auto-renewing through your Apple ID, cancel anytime in Settings.

The whole app is a tape deck now.
• A walnut cabinet, a brushed silver fascia and real mechanical keys — Layout, Art, Lyrics and Print press down and light up like the transport on a 1970s deck.
• A cassette sits in the deck window with your tape's name on its label, and its reels turn while the music plays.
• Your mix plays while you work. The VU meter is reading the real audio, needle and peak lamp and all. Tap the speaker to mute it; it stays muted next time.
• Put a band logo on the binding, lift it off its white background in one tap, and give the binding its own colour.
• Lyrics are easier to edit: tap a panel, pick a column, and change just that column.
• Liner notes are fixed — Generate Trivia finds artist history and track facts again.
• Plus the artwork work from the last update: drag, pinch and twist the cover into place, and drop a picture onto the binding.
