Poster Overlay Tool - A Web App for Media Enthusiasts

[Pejamas 57]

I've created a web application called Poster Overlay (A re-imagination of my original tool) that helps you create professional-looking movie and TV show posters with customizable overlays and network logos. This tool is perfect for media server enthusiasts who want to enhance their poster collection with consistent branding. This is still a big WIP but is functionally working in its current state, please report any bugs or errors, feedback or suggestions etc.

Key Features

• TMDB Integration: Search for any movie or TV show on The Movie Database and automatically load metadata and posters
• Mediux Integration: Search for custom posters from the Mediux community (movies only currently), option to filter by creator
• Custom Upload: Upload your own poster images to customize
• Quality Badges: Add 4K, Dolby Vision, or HDR overlays to your posters with one click
• Network Logos: Choose from 30+ streaming service and TV network logos. Logos are auto added based off TMDB meta data and can be manually changed or turned off
• Logo Customization: Change the color of any network logo to match your theme
• Advanced Search: Smart search algorithms to help find the correct content even from partial file names
• Poster Preview: Real-time preview of how your poster will look with the applied changes
• Detailed Metadata: View comprehensive metadata for the selected content, including cast, release date, ratings, and more

How It Works

• Select Content Type: Choose between Movies or TV Shows
• Find Content: Search TMDB for official content or Mediux for community-created posters or add manually
• Add Overlays: Select quality badges (4K, HDR, etc.) to overlay on your poster (more coming soon)
• Add Network Logo for Shows: Logos are auto added based off TMDB meta data and can be manually changed or turned off
• Customize: Change logo colors from the color picker function
• Download: Download your customized poster to use in your media server

The tool features a clean, dark-themed UI that's responsive and easy to use. It's built with plain JavaScript and HTML.

This is a great way to maintain a consistent and professional look for your media library, especially if you use media server software like Plex, Emby, or Jellyfin.

I have some custom overlay images you can use, so there are more options available.

Kometa also has an overlay image catalogue available on Github.

I've recently made a heap of changes, including a fully functional mobile UI.

Thanks for this.

At the moment i would have no use for it, but if you would add the possibility to add (one or mulitple) country-flags (to display the language) to the poster this tool would be really useful for me. Looking for a way to do this comfortably for a long time.
