  • Titles that read clearly

    Write the title, artist name and album cover font style into your prompt. Nano Banana Pro renders the lettering crisp and readable.

  • Square from the start

    Set the image node to 1:1, the shape every album cover uses, and outpaint to other sizes later.

  • Prompt or photo to start

    Make cover art for music from a description of your sound, or add your own photo as the reference.

  • Several designs in one run

    Connect one prompt to several image nodes, run them together and keep the cover that fits.

  • Fix one detail

    Inpaint a single word or object and keep the rest of the cover exactly as it was.

  • Up to 4K for print

    Export at up to 4K with Nano Banana Pro for CD cover art, a vinyl sleeve or a poster.

Make an album cover from your own photo

Use the album cover maker with your own photo, or one you have permission to use, as the starting point. Add a band shot, a selfie or a place that inspired the songs, then describe the style around it. If the angle is off, Camera Angle re-shoots the photo from the front, side or above, with the same light.

Keep customizing your album artwork

Got a cover you almost love? Use Flow as your album cover editor. Brush over a misspelled word or a stray object with Inpaint, describe the fix, and only that area changes. These generative editing tools on the canvas also outpaint the cover into wider sizes, so you never rebuild it from scratch.

  • Fix one detail at a time
  • The original stays on its own node

Cover art for singles, mixtapes and playlists

The same cover art maker handles every release, from a debut single to a mixtape. Duplicate the frame, change the title in the text node, and regenerate the whole chain in the same style. These faster canvas tools also switch the model or resolution for every cover at once, so a Spotify playlist cover can match.

  • One look across every release
  • Bulk edits in one step

Promote the release with your cover art

The cover is only the start of the rollout. Outpaint opens it into a wide banner or a tall story, Camera Motion turns it into a 5 to 15 second clip with a push-in or an orbit, and node sharing posts it to Instagram, TikTok or YouTube. For bigger campaigns, see how Flow handles marketing and content workflows.

Pick the model behind your cover

Flow puts several image models on one canvas for album cover design. GPT is the default on new nodes, with GPT Image 2.5 Flare for fast generation and editing and GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst for precision edits on finished artwork. Ideogram 4.0 renders crisp, accurate typography for titles and artist names. Nano Banana Pro blends up to 14 images into one design, while Flux 2 Pro gives photographic covers natural light and fine texture.

Album cover ideas for every artist

Each look is a starting point rather than a fixed album cover template, so describe your own title, artist and colors.
