Cover art has one job: look right at every size

Distributors and streaming platforms expect a clean square image, and it needs to hold up as a tiny thumbnail and a large card. Artlink's Cover mode is built for that exact 1:1 shape, so you are not cropping a wide image down and hoping it still works.

How to set it up

Step 1

Describe or upload a starting point

Write a prompt for the cover you want, or upload a reference image such as a photo or draft artwork.

Step 2

Generate in Cover mode

AI Studio renders a square 1:1 image sized for distributor and streaming platform requirements.

Step 3

Review and export

Check the artwork at full size, then download it for your distributor, streaming platforms, and smart link.

Best use cases

Single and EP releases

Generate cover art quickly when a release date is set and a custom photoshoot is not an option.

Concept exploration

Try several visual directions from the same prompt before committing to a final cover.

Refreshing older artwork

Recreate a dated cover with a cleaner square image that reads well as a small thumbnail.

Platform fit

Distributors

Export the square 1:1 file and upload it through your distributor's standard artwork step.

Streaming platforms

The same cover art works across Spotify, Apple Music, and other platforms since it is a standard square image.

Reuse in AI Studio

Attach the finished cover as a start frame in Canvas or Video mode to build a matching moving visual.

Mistakes to avoid

Uploading a wide or portrait image and expecting it to pass as cover art unchanged.

Treating Cover mode as a video tool; it generates a still image, not a moving Canvas.

Skipping a full-size review and only checking the artwork as a small thumbnail.

Assuming a text-only prompt can't produce a usable result without a reference image.
