Covers that work at thumbnail size
Most people first see a cover as a small square in an app. One bold image, high contrast and short, large type survive that; busy scenes don't.
Artist name + title · square

Quick answer
Updated
Kenerate's AI album cover generator makes square album and single covers with your artist name and title in the image — synthwave, folk, hip-hop, jazz, lo-fi, rock and more. GPT Image 2 (1K to 4K) spelled every artist name and title correctly in our tests. Covers download with no watermark, and streaming services usually ask for large square files, so generate at 2K or upscale. A free account gets 25 credits.
