Album Cover Maker with AI

It depends on whether you want templates or a cover drawn from your idea. Template editors give you stock layouts to fill in; an AI album cover maker such as Kenerate draws a new cover from a text brief, with the artist name and title in the image. On Kenerate, GPT Image 2 spelled every name and title correctly across six genres in our tests, and Seedream 4.5 renders a native 4096 × 4096 square.

You can start free. A new Kenerate account gets 25 credits on sign-up, and free-plan models such as Qwen Image 3.0 (9 credits a cover) can put a short title in the image. GPT Image 2, GPT Image 2.5 and Seedream 4.5 need a one-time credit pack rather than a subscription. Covers download with no watermark.

Square, 1:1. Apple's release guide recommends 3000 × 3000 pixels or larger with a 1400 × 1400 minimum, in JPEG or PNG. Spotify accepts 640 to 10000 pixels on each side in TIFF, PNG or JPG, in sRGB, and asks you not to upscale. On Kenerate, Seedream 4.5 renders a native 4096 × 4096 square for 12 credits, so you start from a large original instead of upscaling; check the pixel size of any other model's 4K output, and your distributor's current spec, before you submit.

Open /app/image, pick GPT Image 2 or Seedream 4.5 and the square ratio, then write a brief: the artist name and title in quotes, the genre and an era, one image idea and the type style. Draft at 1K, re-run the best idea at 4K, and download the PNG or JPG.

Yes. Put both in quotes in the prompt and say where they go — for example "artist name at the top in condensed capitals, title at the bottom". GPT Image 2 and GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst are the most reliable for text on Kenerate. Keep names short; long subtitles and track lists are where any image model is most likely to slip, so check every letter before release.

Mostly, yes. "Album art" and "cover art" usually mean the same square front cover. An album art generator draws the picture from a prompt; an album cover maker may also mean a template editor where you place text yourself. On Kenerate the model does both: it draws the art and sets the type in one pass.

Yes. Upload the band photo as a reference and describe the cover around it — genre, type style and where the name and title go. GPT Image 2 accepts up to 16 reference images and Seedream 4.5 up to 10. Only use photos you have permission to use.

Yes. Kenerate's terms say it claims no ownership of what you generate and that you may use it commercially, subject to the terms and the law, and covers carry no watermark. Read your distributor's artwork rules before you submit, and use your own artist name and original ideas rather than copying an existing cover or a real person's likeness.

Start with one strong image idea, not five, and keep the type short, large and high-contrast so the cover still reads as a small square in a music app. Name the genre and an era — 1960s jazz, 80s synthwave — to set the look, and test the cover at thumbnail size before you commit.
