How it works

  1. Upload your photo

    Upload a high-quality source image. Screenshots, camera photos, or existing graphics all work for album cover creation. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.

    Expect: Simple style transformation: 30-40 seconds. Complex artistic album covers: 45-60 seconds.
  2. Describe the album cover style

    Type your instruction: 'transform this into album cover art with dark moody atmosphere, cinematic color grading, and dramatic lighting' or 'create a dreamy lo-fi album cover with soft pastel colors and vintage film grain.' Specify the genre aesthetic, mood, and color palette. No marking needed—the AI transforms the entire image.

    Tip: Mention the music genre for targeted aesthetics: 'hip-hop album cover', 'indie folk aesthetic', or 'electronic music artwork' guides the AI effectively.

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Dark moody hip-hop cover transform this into album cover art with dark moody atmosphere, dramatic shadows, cinematic teal and orange color grading, and high contrast
    Dreamy indie/lo-fi cover create a dreamy lo-fi album cover from this photo with soft pastel colors, vintage film grain, hazy glow, and nostalgic atmosphere
    Bold graphic pop cover transform this into bold pop album artwork with high saturation, graphic poster style, sharp contrast, and vibrant pink and yellow color scheme
    Psychedelic rock cover create psychedelic album cover art with swirling colors, trippy distortion effects, kaleidoscopic patterns, and 60s rock aesthetic
    3 more prompts
    Minimalist electronic cover transform this into minimalist electronic music album art with clean geometric elements, monochrome palette, and stark negative space
    Grunge/alternative cover create a grunge album cover with distressed textures, desaturated colors, raw gritty aesthetic, and torn paper effects
    R&B/soul atmospheric cover transform this into R&B album cover art with warm golden lighting, soft bokeh, intimate atmosphere, and rich shadow depth
  3. Review the album artwork

    Check that the artwork matches your music's mood and genre. Look for strong visual impact at thumbnail size (how it'll appear on Spotify), balanced composition with space for text, and consistent style throughout.
