How the album cover generator works
Something to paint from, a style, and a minute.
Give it something to paint from
A line about the picture you have in mind, the lyrics of the song, or a photo. Add a title if you want it lettered on the cover.
Pick a style
Eight looks, from a warm storybook page to a neon night to a 35mm film still — or no style at all, and it follows your words alone. The same line paints very differently in each.
Download it, or put it on a song
A square cover, ready for streaming or a gift page. Put it on any song you have made here in one press, or make the song to go with it.
Why this beats a generic album cover maker
It reads the lyrics, not just a prompt
Paste the whole song and it finds the one picture inside it — the porch light, the last bus, the chipped mug — instead of collaging every noun in the chorus. Describe it in a line if you would rather; both work.
Your photo, in a style
Start from a real photo and the people stay who they are, re-painted as a storybook page, a faded record sleeve or a film still. The cover for a song about your mom can actually be your mom.
It goes straight onto a song
Every song made here has a cover. One press puts the new one on any song you own, and the old one is kept. No downloading, re-uploading, or cropping to a square you already had.
One line in, a cover out
What we typed: "a kitchen at 2 a.m., one lamp on, two coffee mugs" — style: Storybook, title on: "Still Up"
A warm hand-painted kitchen in the small hours: a single lamp pooling gold light over two mugs on the table, the window dark blue behind, the title lettered small in the corner like a note left on the counter.
How to get a cover worth keeping out of an AI album cover generator
Paint one thing, not the whole song
The covers people keep are almost always of one thing. Not "love and loss and the passage of time" — a bicycle against a railing, an empty swing after rain, a lamp still on at 2 a.m. That is why pasting the lyrics works better than you would expect: the generator is not illustrating the chorus, it is looking for the one concrete image the song keeps circling back to, and painting that. If you describe it yourself, describe it the same way. A single object, a place, a time of day. The feeling arrives on its own.
Let the style do the mood
Do not put the mood in the description — put it in the style. "Sad" in a prompt produces grey; the same kitchen painted as a faded record sleeve, a watercolour, or a film still produces three genuinely different sadnesses, and one of them will be right. This is the cheapest thing you can do here: keep the line, change the style, paint again. Two or three passes and a bit of choosing beats trying to write the perfect prompt, and each pass costs one cover from your allowance, not a new description.
Text on a cover is a choice, not a default
Streaming thumbnails are tiny. A title lettered on the cover has to be short, and it competes with the picture for the two seconds someone gives it. Leave the title off when the image is strong — most great covers have none — and put it on when the cover will live somewhere the name is not shown beside it, like a printed card or a gift page. If you do add one, keep the second line to a few words: who it is for, or the name you go by. The generator letters it in a face that matches the style, so it never looks pasted on.
Paint one thing. The song will supply the rest.
what paints well
How to describe a cover
Name one object and one place. "A red bicycle on a seaside railing" beats "freedom and summer".
Say the time of day and the light. Dusk, one lamp, fog, noon sun — light is most of a picture.
Paste the lyrics if you have them. The generator reads for the image the song keeps returning to.
Start from a photo when the song is about a real person; keep the people, change the style.
Keep any title short — it has to read at the size of a thumbnail.
If the first one is close, keep the line and change the style rather than rewriting.
Questions people ask first
Is this album cover generator free?
Your first three covers are free once you sign in, and every song you unlock adds ten more. Creator members get a hundred a month. Uploading your own picture as a cover is always free and unlimited; the allowance only counts covers the AI paints. Every press paints two covers to choose between and counts as one.
Can I make an album cover from a photo?
Yes. Add a photo and pick a style, and the cover is painted from it — the people and the composition stay recognisable, rendered as a storybook page, a film still, an oil painting or whichever look you chose. Add a line of description if you want to change the setting.
Can it put the song title on the cover?
Yes — switch on "Put the title on it" and type the title and, optionally, a smaller second line. It is lettered in a typeface that suits the style. Leave it off for a clean image; you can always add a title later in the app you release with.
What size is the cover?
A square 1024×1024 image, which is the format streaming services, gift pages and most players want. It is generated at a low-cost quality tier, which at this size is not visibly different from the expensive one.
Do I own the cover?
It is yours to use, including commercially, for your own releases and gifts. Download it and take it anywhere; nothing about using this page ties the image to us.
Can I use it on a song I made here?
That is the point of the "Use on a song" button. Pick any song you have unlocked and the cover goes on it immediately; the previous cover is kept in that song’s history in case you change your mind.
A cover in a minute. Then the song.
Three free covers to start. And if the picture comes first, the songwriter is one press away.
