About Album Art Creator

Album Art Creator is a web tool that makes square album covers for Spotify, Apple Music and distributors such as DistroKid. A musician starts with a song description, a genre, an image from another tool or a photo, adds the song title and artist name, and downloads a 3000 or 4096 pixel JPG or PNG that has been checked against the distributors' published cover rules. Every new account gets 5 free credits with no card needed.

No model was trained. Gemini 3 Flash writes an image prompt from the user's words, title and genre; GPT Image 2.5 draws the picture and its lettering in one pass at 1024 pixels, and Topaz upscales it to 4096 on download. Gemini then reads the lettering back and compares it letter by letter with what was typed, so a misspelled title is caught before upload. Each one-sentence change becomes a new version, and returning to an earlier version is free.

The title and artist name can be drawn into the picture as lettering made for it, set in 22 fonts, or left off. A release check reads size, format, colour space, file size and the words on the cover against the rules of Spotify, Apple Music and DistroKid, and flags URLs, prices and social handles; a deep check looks for logos and barcodes. A user's own photo can be used as it is or given one of six film looks.

Album Art Creator is free to use with a user's own image and typed text; AI actions cost 1 credit each. Credit packs of 8 ($4.99), 24 ($12.99) and 80 ($34.99) never expire, and the Pro subscription is $9 a month, or $7.50 a month billed yearly, for 40 credits every month. Covers can be used commercially on every plan, uploaded images are never used for training, and the Studio works on a 390 px phone screen.
