Cover Art Generator
Generate a square album cover from a prompt — powered by AI. 3000×3000, ready for Spotify, DistroKid and all distributors.
Tip: be visual — describe a scene, a mood, colors. The more evocative, the better.
Add a title and artist name to have them written on your cover (works best with short text).
Pick up to 2 styles to blend them.
AI generation runs on our servers. Your prompts are processed and discarded — never stored.
How it works
- Describe your cover. Write a short prompt, optionally add the track title and artist name to be written on the artwork, or a reference image (style or likeness).
- Pick the direction. Genre, graphic style (blend up to two), mood and color palette presets steer the AI without long prompt engineering.
- Generate and download. About 30 seconds later, download your 3000×3000 cover — it is also archived in your private My space library.
Features
- Distribution-ready size. 3000×3000 pixels — the square format distributors like DistroKid, TuneCore and CD Baby ask for, ready for Spotify and Apple Music.
- Art direction presets. 8 genres, 8 graphic styles (blendable two at a time), 6 moods and 6 color palettes — plus optional title and artist text written on the cover.
- Reference image, two modes. Add a PNG, JPG or WebP (up to 10 MB) as a style reference, or in likeness mode so the AI includes the person in your photo.
- Archived in My space. Every generated cover lands in your private My space library on top of the direct download, so nothing gets lost.
FAQ
Is the Cover Art Generator free?
No — it is part of AudioKit Premium (€9.90/month or €99/year), because the generation runs on our AI servers. AudioKit Premium includes 100 AI credits per month, shared across all AI tools, and each cover generation costs 5 credits — a credit is only spent when the generation succeeds, a failed attempt is not charged. Need more? Credit packs are available from your space (100 credits for €5.99, 250 for €11.99) — pack credits never expire. AudioKit's browser-based tools remain free.
What size does album cover art need to be for distribution?
Square, and big: most distributors (DistroKid, TuneCore, CD Baby…) recommend or require 3000×3000 pixels, which is exactly what this tool produces. The same file works for Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer and the rest, and you can also embed it in your MP3s with our ID3 tag editor.
What happens to my prompts and reference images?
They are sent to our servers over an encrypted connection, passed to the image model, then discarded — never stored. The generated cover itself is archived in your private My space library and downloadable on the spot.
How much control do I have over the style?
Quite a lot without writing an essay: pick a genre (electronic, hip-hop, lo-fi, rock, jazz, pop, ambient, R&B), up to two graphic styles to blend (photographic, illustration, abstract, minimal, collage, 3D render, painting, vintage), a mood and a color palette — all optional, on top of your text prompt and an optional reference image.
Can it write my track title and artist name on the cover?
Yes — both are optional fields, and the AI integrates them into the artwork's design. One honest caveat: AI models still occasionally mangle text rendering, so check the spelling on the result and regenerate if needed; a failed text doesn't make the cover unusable, but it is worth a look before you distribute.
