Generate Distributor-Ready Cover Art in Minutes
AI Studio's Cover mode renders square covers at 3008×3008 — up to 4K — so you can go from idea to release-ready artwork without a designer.
AI Studio
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
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.
Generate in Cover mode
AI Studio renders a square 1:1 image sized for distributor and streaming platform requirements.
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.
