Album Cover Creator
Describe your sound, get real cover art. Pick a genre flavor, add your title and artist name as crisp text, and download a square file sized for streaming.
Genre flavor (optional, pick one)
Avoid (optional)
AI art is generated by Pollinations.ai's free community image model at 768×768 — a new picture each time, never pulled from a database. The 3000×3000 download is that same art scaled up to clear Apple Music's minimum pixel size, not a separately rendered higher-detail image. Your prompt is sent to generate it; a stock search sends only your search words; an uploaded image is never sent anywhere.
How it works
- Pick a source: AI Generate a description, search a Stock Photo, or Upload your own image.
- For AI Generate, optionally pick one genre flavor chip — it adds a short style phrase to your description.
- Tap Generate cover art. If you don't love it, Shuffle keeps the same prompt and tries a new variation.
- Turn on Add title & artist text and pick a font, size and placement for each line — try title on top, artist on the bottom.
- Download the preview PNG, or scale it up to a 3000×3000 file sized for Spotify and Apple Music.
Cover art sizes for every platform
Every major store wants a perfect square. Spotify's stated minimum is 640×640px; Apple Music asks for 3000×3000px, RGB, with no transparency and no rounded corners baked into the file. The free AI model behind this page tops out at 768×768 natively — that is the actual art you see in the preview — and the high-resolution download scales that same image up to 3000×3000 in your browser to clear the larger requirement. This is an honest upscale, not a second, more detailed render: platforms check pixel dimensions, and a clean upscale satisfies that.
Writing a prompt that actually sounds like your genre
Image models respond well to mood, color and lighting words — "moody blue-grey, cinematic side light, grain" reads more consistently than a list of nouns. The genre chips exist because a short, consistent style phrase (a synthwave grid, a lo-fi pastel wash, a vintage vinyl print texture) does more work than adding extra sentences. Avoid naming real people, bands, or brand logos in the prompt — the model may attempt a likeness it has no right to generate, and using it could create real legal problems for your release.
AI art, ownership, and what platforms actually check
This isn't legal advice, and it varies by country: as of this writing, the U.S. Copyright Office's position is that a purely AI-generated image, without meaningful human creative changes, generally can't be registered for copyright on its own. Combining it with your own edits, text, or other artwork you made can change that. Separately, no major streaming platform TrackGleam is aware of bans AI-generated art outright — what they and your distributor actually enforce is that art can't be misleading, offensive, or use someone else's likeness or copyrighted material without permission, regardless of how it was made. Treat what this page generates as a strong starting point, and review your distributor's current art policy before you release.

FAQ
Is this actually free?
Yes. Image generation runs on Pollinations.ai's free, no-signup image API. It is a shared community service, so a request can occasionally be slow or fail under load — this page retries automatically before showing an error.
What size should my album cover be?
Square, always. Spotify's minimum is 640×640px; Apple Music asks for 3000×3000px RGB with no transparency. The free AI model this page uses tops out at 768×768 natively, so the download is that same 768px art scaled up to 3000×3000 to clear the larger requirement — platforms check pixel count, and scaling up to meet it is standard practice, not something unique to AI art.
Do I own the copyright to an AI-generated cover?
This isn't legal advice, and the answer genuinely varies by country. As of this writing, the U.S. Copyright Office has taken the position that a purely AI-generated image, without meaningful human creative changes, isn't eligible for copyright registration on its own. Adding your own text, edits, or combining it with other artwork you made can change that. If registration matters to you, treat the generated art as a starting point and check with a professional before you release.
Will Spotify or Apple Music reject an AI-generated cover?
No platform TrackGleam is aware of bans AI-generated art outright. What they do enforce, regardless of how an image was made, is that cover art can't be misleading, offensive, or use someone else's likeness, logo, or copyrighted character without permission. Your distributor (DistroKid, TuneCore, CD Baby, and similar) reviews art against those same rules before it goes live.
Is my prompt, search, or upload sent anywhere?
Your track is never involved — this tool only makes images. Using AI Generate sends your prompt to Pollinations.ai to make the picture. Using Stock Photo sends only your search words to Pexels; the photo you pick loads straight from Pexels' own servers. Using Upload sends nothing anywhere — the file stays on your device the whole time.
Can I make text (my title or artist name) part of the generated image?
You can ask the AI model to include text in the scene, but image models are unreliable at spelling — it often comes out garbled. This page instead draws your title and artist name as real, crisp text on top of the art, in your browser, with your choice of font, size and position (top, center, or bottom) for each line independently — always legible and always spelled the way you typed it.
