    What is Album Cover Maker?

    Album Cover Maker turns any photo into an album cover: your name and an album title in the style of a real record, a filter that sets the mood, and the black-and-white parental advisory label in the corner. Use it for your own music, a playlist, a mixtape for a friend, or just to see your photo as an album.

    See it as a flat cover, sliding out of a vinyl sleeve or in a CD case, and download it at 3000 × 3000 pixels, the size streaming services ask for, or as a mockup to share. Your photo never leaves your browser.

    Frequently asked questions

    What size should an album cover be?

    Square, and 3000 × 3000 pixels for Spotify, Apple Music and most distributors, which is the size this tool saves. Use the JPG for uploading to a distributor, which is smaller, and the PNG for the sharpest copy.

    Can I use the parental advisory label?

    The label marks music with explicit lyrics, and it is fine on covers for fun, playlists and mixtapes. For music you release, your distributor marks explicit tracks itself; check its rules before putting the label on the cover.

    Can I use any photo?

    Your own photos, yes. For music you release, use only photos you have the rights to. To put your favourite real albums together, try the Album Chart Maker.
