Make a square album cover for a single, EP or album from a mood line, an optional photo or both, with an optional title you proofread.
Make a square album cover for a single, EP or album from a mood line, an optional photo or both, with an optional title you proofread.
One reference photo and the square album cover generated from it. The result uses the template's fixed 1:1 ratio.
The recipe asks the main subject to stay clearly recognizable in the center. Compare the face, instrument or object with your reference. A stylized color treatment is expected; a changed identity or a lost subject is not.
The photo becomes a bold graphic composition with a stylized color treatment, a cinematic mood and a clean margin around the artwork, in a fixed square. Backgrounds and small details may be simplified or replaced to fit it.
Shrink the cover to release-thumbnail size and check that the subject still reads. Then inspect the edges for cut-off hands or instruments, and read every character of the title if you added one. Spelling and placement still need your own proofreading.
Three common release situations. In each one the cover is the image, and your layout app carries the final typography.
1:1 · Single
Start with one clear portrait and a mood that belongs to this song. Review the face at full size, then shrink the cover and check that the artist is still recognizable. A beautiful treatment that changes the person should not become the official portrait by accident, so keep the original photo for press use.
1:1 · Instrumental
Skip the photo and write one subject and one mood in the Mood or theme box, such as a weathered doorway in soft daylight. Let a single object carry the cover, because several symbols turn unreadable next to other releases. The scene is invented, so do not present it as a photo of a real place.
1:1 · Demo or EP
Use a mood and a working title to give an unfinished release a temporary look, and label the file as a draft so it does not suggest final credits. Separate generations do not promise matching colors or subjects, so judge the main cover first and build any related graphics from the approved image.
Add a photo or a mood, add a title if you want one, then check the cover at thumbnail size.
Upload one JPG, PNG or WebP image up to 20 MB if you want it to guide the subject, and use a photo you own or may edit. In Mood or theme, describe a subject, a setting and a feeling in up to 200 characters, without names or lettering. Skip both and the recipe composes a subject on its own.
Cover title takes up to 40 characters and is the only text allowed in the image, added as typed. Leave it empty if you will set type in a layout app. The panel shows the fixed settings: 1 PNG image at HD in a 1:1 square with Nano Banana Pro, with no ratio or style selector.
Each album cover result costs 45 credits, shown on Generate before you confirm. When the cover is done, shrink it to thumbnail size, check the subject, the edges and every letter of the title, then download it.
The album cover maker turns a photo, a mood or both into a square cover. Four features cover the inputs, the composition, the optional title and the final check.
01
The album cover recipe accepts zero or one reference image and an optional Mood or theme brief. Add a photo to guide the subject, describe a subject and a feeling in words, or skip both and let the recipe compose one focal subject on its own.
02
Whatever you start from, the album cover maker returns a finished square: a bold graphic composition, a stylized color treatment, a cinematic mood and one subject kept clear in the center, with a clean margin. Backgrounds and small details are simplified when they compete with that subject.
03
Cover title takes up to 40 characters and is the only text allowed in the image, set as typed. Spelling and placement still need your own proofreading. Leave it empty if you will set type in a layout app.
04
Shrink the cover to the smallest size listeners will see and check that the subject still reads, then make sure the edges do not clip a hand or an instrument. Distributor artwork rules are separate, so check the downloaded dimensions against them before you upload.
Pick the task that matches what you need around the cover.
An album cover is the artwork that identifies a music release on streaming services, stores and social posts. This template generates a square cover for a single, an EP or an album from an optional mood brief and an optional reference photo, and can set a short title through its own field. The output is artwork, not audio, release metadata or a platform-approved package.
No. This album cover maker accepts zero or one reference image. You can start from the optional mood brief alone, or add a photo to guide the subject. Add one only if it has a clear role; a reference does not guarantee that a logo, a face or a detail comes back exactly.
Describe the subject, setting and mood in up to 200 characters, such as a quiet platform at dusk with one warm window. The box is for visual direction only. Names, words and lettering cannot be drawn from it, and a request for them is rejected with a message, so put wording in the separate Cover title field. If you leave the box empty, the recipe composes a cover on its own.
Use the separate optional title field, which currently accepts up to 40 characters. The theme brief describes mood or subject and does not allow a general request for lettering. Check every character, spacing, and placement in the result. The field supplies the intended wording; it does not replace proofreading.
No universal acceptance is promised. Check actual downloaded dimensions and the distributor’s current artwork requirements before submitting. This page does not verify external platform rules, rights, release metadata, or technical acceptance. Keep a reviewed original and prepare any additional release files separately.
Check an album cover at the smallest size where listeners will see it. Shrink it to a thumbnail and confirm the subject still reads, then inspect the edges for cut-off hands or instruments. If you added a cover title, compare every letter and the spacing with what you typed, because generated lettering can still drift. Confirm the downloaded dimensions against the requirements of your distributor before you upload.
The Album Cover template keeps one fixed cover recipe. What you control is the optional reference image, the theme or mood line and the cover title, so change those to steer the result. For a look the template cannot reach, describe it in the AI image generator.
45 credits per run for one 1:1 PNG at HD, made with Nano Banana Pro. The amount appears on the Generate button before you confirm.
Add a mood, a reference photo or both, review the credit estimate, and check the finished cover at thumbnail size before using it.
