TOOL · COVER ART
Cover art in any genre.
The AI album cover generator turns a written brief — sound, mood, era — into release-ready art. Ideogram, GPT Image, and Seedream render real titles and artist names on the cover, and the upscaler takes it to 3000×3000 for distribution. Exact credit cost shown before every run.

FREQUENTLY ASKED
How does the AI album cover generator work?+−
It is text-to-image generation aimed at cover art. You describe the record — the sound, the mood, the era, the genre aesthetic — and the model paints a square cover from that brief. Typography-capable models like Ideogram 4.0, GPT Image, and Seedream 4.5 can render the album title and artist name directly on the art, so the cover comes out finished rather than as a backdrop you still need to letter.
Is the AI album cover generator free?+−
Free to start: a quick free account gets 30 credits on signup plus 30 dropped daily, no card. Image generations cost a few credits each and the exact cost shows on the model card before you run, so several cover drafts fit inside the free allotment. Paid plans start at $10 per 30 days, and there is no watermark on any tier.
Can it put my album title and artist name on the cover?+−
Yes, if you pick a model that renders text well. Ideogram 4.0 is the strongest at typography, with GPT Image and Seedream 4.5 close behind. Put the exact wording in quotes in your prompt — "album title 'MIDNIGHT TAPES' in chrome lettering" — and check the spelling in the output. If a letter slips, rerun; text rendering is good now but not infallible.
What size do Spotify and Apple Music require?+−
Both want square art. Distributors that deliver to Spotify and Apple Music typically require a 3000×3000 pixel JPG; Apple’s stated minimum is 1400×1400. Generate at the model’s largest square size, then run the built-in upscaler to reach 3000×3000 — the output passes distributor checks without stretching.
Which model fits which genre aesthetic?+−
Ideogram 4.0 for typography-led designs — metal logos, rap covers, anything where the lettering is the art. Seedream 4.5 for photoreal scenes and portrait-style covers. FLUX.2 for painterly, illustrated, and abstract looks — strong for indie, lo-fi, and vaporwave. The honest workflow: run the same brief on two models and keep the cover that feels like the record sounds.
Can I start from an existing photo instead of a prompt?+−
Yes. Upload a photo — a band shot, a location, an object that matters to the record — and restyle it image-to-image. The model keeps the composition and pushes it toward the aesthetic you describe, which is how a phone photo of a parking garage becomes a grainy post-punk cover.
