Common questions
AI cover art generator FAQ
Can I turn a photo into cover art?
Yes. Upload a photo or reference image, then describe what should stay recognizable and how you want the background, mood, color, crop, and title space to change.
What should I include in a cover art prompt?
Include the release title, artist name, genre, mood, main subject, color direction, visual style, and any space you need for typography. A concrete scene usually gives the generator more direction than a list of adjectives.
What shape should music cover art be?
Use a 1:1 square composition for most streaming releases. Keep the subject and title readable at thumbnail size, then confirm the final pixel dimensions and file requirements with your distributor before publishing.
Can I use the generator for singles and playlists?
Yes. The same workspace can create artwork for singles, EPs, albums, mixtapes, playlists, podcasts, and other music releases. State the format in your prompt so the composition matches its purpose.
