Meet Your Poster Wall, Redrawn

Pictorium paints every Stremio poster fresh, on request. It starts from clean TMDB artwork, sets the title as a proper logo wherever the image has room for it, picks a text colour that suits the picture, and adds the badges you choose: ratings, Top 10 ribbons, awards, studio and network logos, and a 4K / FHD / HD quality mark.

Use it as a Stremio addon in its own right, with catalogs for trending titles, streaming charts, anime and MDBList lists, all wearing Pictorium posters. Or keep the catalogs you already have and point AIOMetadata at Pictorium for the artwork alone.

Your own instance is ready the moment it starts: the API keys are already in place, every setting is yours to tune exactly, and the rendering power behind your posters is not shared with anyone.

Why Your Own Pictorium Makes Life Easier

• No API keys to hunt down. TMDB and MDBList keys come built in, so posters and catalogs work from the first minute.
• Every setting, exactly. Slide the blur, gradient and badge sizes to the precise value you want, pick any accent colour, and write your own badge text.
• Posters that keep up. Your instance renders only your posters, so a long catalog scroll on a busy evening still fills in quickly.
• One login, nothing extra to remember. The editor opens with your ElfHosted account. There is no separate profile password or recovery code to keep safe.
• Yours for as long as you keep it. Your settings and saved posters stay put, backed up every day.

Product Highlights

Ratings on the poster. IMDb, TMDB, Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic scores, in seven badge styles that take their colour from the artwork.

Charts and accolades. A Top 10 ribbon drawn from live streaming charts, Oscar, Cannes, BAFTA and Emmy marks, and a nod for the IMDb Top 250.

Smart layout. Pictorium reads each image to decide where the title goes and how bright the text should be, then adds a background blur and vignette.

Seasons that make sense. Anime that TMDB squashes into one season comes back as its real seasons, split-part shows are detected, and TheTVDB or AniZip orderings are one click away with your own TVDB key.

Owner controls. Set instance-wide defaults, save hand-picked artwork for any title, lock the editor with a PIN, and plug in a custom rating provider if you have one.

A poster endpoint for everything else. Any addon that accepts a custom poster URL can use Pictorium by TMDB or IMDb id, AIOMetadata included.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Pictorium give me streams?
No. Pictorium makes posters and catalogs. It doesn't find or play anything, so pair it with whatever you already use for streams.

Do I need my own TMDB key?
No. Your instance comes with TMDB and MDBList keys. You can add your own at any time if you want your own rate limits or lists tied to your MDBList account.

Can I use it with AIOMetadata instead of its own catalogs?
Yes. Point AIOMetadata's poster setting at your Pictorium poster URL and your existing catalogs get Pictorium artwork.

I already have the Stremio Addons Bundle. Do I need this too?
No. Pictorium is part of the bundle, switched off to start with. Turn it on from your apps dashboard whenever you like.

Why is the first catalog load slow?
Every poster is drawn the first time it's asked for, then cached. A fresh grid takes a moment; after that it's quick.

Who makes Pictorium?
Pictorium is built and maintained by Eful97. If you enjoy it, their Ko-fi is the place to say thanks.

Pictorium gives your Stremio library posters worth scrolling through, with ratings, charts and logos drawn onto every one.
