How it works

Upload your photo

Drop your image into EditThisPic. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB. Choose a clear photo where the area you want to edit is visible.

Expect: Most edits complete in 20-45 seconds. Complex changes may need 1-2 refinements.
Describe your edit

Type what you want: 'transform this photo into professional album art — genre-appropriate color treatment, artistic composition, striking visual impact.' Be specific about details for best results. The AI understands natural language — no technical skills needed.

Tip: Mention the genre and mood — 'dark thriller book cover with cinematic lighting' guides the AI precisely.

Copy one of these to get started:

Indie/alternative art create indie album art — film grain aesthetic, muted desaturated tones, slightly overexposed, raw and authentic feel
Try This →

Try This →

Try This →

2 more prompts

Folk/acoustic cover create a folk music album cover — natural warm tones, film look, outdoor or rustic setting, authentic and grounded
Try This →

Classical/orchestral art create classical album art — elegant and timeless, fine art aesthetic, dramatic Rembrandt-style lighting, dignified composition
Try This →
Review the result

Check the output carefully. Look for natural blending, consistent lighting, and realistic details. Compare before and after using the slider.
Refine if needed

If specific areas need adjustment, tap markers on those spots and regenerate. Most edits work well on the first try.

Tip: Markers are optional. Try without them first — the AI usually gets it right.

If something looks off

AI changed the wrong area

Why: The AI couldn't determine exactly which area you meant from the description alone.

Try: Tap a marker on the specific area you want to edit, then regenerate with the same prompt

Try This →

Tip: Markers tell the AI exactly where to focus. Use them when description alone is ambiguous.

Result looks unnatural

Why: The AI may need more specific guidance about the look you want.

Try: Add 'natural lighting and sharp details that match the rest of the photo' to your prompt

Try This →

Tip: Adding 'natural' and 'realistic' to your prompt helps the AI prioritize believability.

Lighting doesn't match

Why: The edited area has different lighting than the original scene.

Try: Add: 'match the lighting direction and color temperature of the original photo'

Try This →

Tip: If light comes from one side in the original, mention it: 'with light from the left side.'

Edges look rough or artificial

Why: Transitions between edited and unedited areas need refinement.

Try: Tap markers on the rough edges and regenerate: 'refine these edges for a seamless blend'

Try This →

Tip: Edge refinement is the most common adjustment — markers on problem areas make it quick.

Quick answers

Can AI create album art from my photo?

Yes. Upload your photo and describe the genre and mood — 'hip-hop album cover, bold urban aesthetic, dramatic underlighting.' EditThisPic AI applies the styling. Free, no signup.

What size does Spotify require for album art?

Spotify and Apple Music require 3000x3000px square images in JPG or PNG. Describe the square format in your prompt and add any final sizing adjustments after downloading.

No. Independent artists can get professional album art for free with EditThisPic. One Quick edit per week at no cost, with credit packs from $1.99 for more.

Can I add the album name and artist name to the art?

EditThisPic creates the visual design. Add text in Canva, Adobe Express, or any design tool after downloading. Ask the AI to 'leave clean space at the bottom for the album title.'

All genres work. The more specifically you describe your genre's visual language, the better — 'indie folk with film grain' is better than just 'music cover.'
