Example covers made with Z Image Turbo
Real Z Image Turbo outputs. The prompt under each cover is the exact one that produced it.
Synthwave night drive
A flat square illustration used as the cover image for a synthwave music single. The artwork fills the entire frame edge to edge with no border, no sleeve, no vinyl disc, no mockup. A chrome sports car driving down a neon-lit coastal highway at night, retro 1980s style, glowing grid horizon over a wireframe sea, purple and cyan palette, palm tree silhouettes. Bold retro chrome title text "MIDNIGHT CIRCUIT" across the top, small clean artist name "NEONDRIFT" at the bottom.
Lo-fi rainy window
Square album cover art for a lo-fi hip-hop beat tape. Cozy bedroom at night, a cat asleep on a rainy windowsill, warm desk lamp, cassette tapes and a small plant on the desk, soft anime illustration style, muted warm palette of amber and dusty blue. Handwritten title "Rainy Season" near the top, small artist name "Pillow Notes" at the bottom. Calm, intimate record-cover composition.
Indie folk forest
Square album cover art for an indie folk album. Golden morning light through a tall pine forest, a lone traveler with an acoustic guitar walking a mossy trail, film photography look, earthy green and amber palette, soft grain. Elegant serif title "Wildwood Hymns" at top center, small artist name "Fern Hollow" at the bottom. Quiet, natural record-cover composition.
Heavy metal dark fantasy
Square album cover art for a heavy metal album. Dark fantasy scene: a burning crown floating above a ruined stone altar in a storm, ravens circling, black and ember-orange palette, detailed oil-painting style. Sharp gothic title text "CROWN OF CINDERS" across the top, band name "IRONVEIL" in metal lettering at the bottom. Dramatic record-cover composition.
What you can put on the cover
Every choice in the prompt changes how the cover looks.
Artwork that matches the genre
Name the genre, mood, and palette instead of design specs — the cover steers toward what listeners expect from that sound.
Your title on the artwork
Put the album title and artist name in quotes in the prompt. Short rendered text works well — check the spelling before you use it.
Square format for releases
Every cover is 1:1 — the shape streaming platforms, playlist artwork, and single releases all use.
Fast iterations
Each run reinterprets the same prompt. Change a word or two and generate again instead of briefing a designer.
How to make an album cover
Four steps from idea to a downloaded cover.
Write the prompt like a brief
Cover the genre and mood, the scene or subject, the palette, and the exact album title and artist name in quotes. Prompts can be up to 1000 characters.
Keep the square format
This page generates 1:1 only — the standard album-cover shape — so there are no aspect-ratio decisions to make.
Generate and check the lettering
Each run spends the credits shown on the Generate button. Zoom in on the title: if a letter is off, regenerate or fix it in an image editor.
Download and check the spec
Save the finished image from the result panel. If your distributor requires a larger square file, upscale before you submit.
When a generated cover is enough
Singles and EPs
The track is done but the artwork is not. Describe the record's mood and ship a cover with the release instead of a placeholder.
Playlist covers
Give each playlist a face that matches its sound — one prompt per mood, all in the same square format.
Lyric videos and podcast art
A strong square cover doubles as the still for a lyric video, a podcast episode thumbnail, or the social post announcing the track.
Demos and mixtapes
For drafts, mixtapes, and uploads where commissioned art is overkill — describe it, generate it, move on.
Know before you download
The real constraints of generated cover art — check them before you submit anything.
Check the file size against your distributor
Streaming distributors often ask for 3000×3000 pixels. Check the downloaded file against that spec and upscale it if it's smaller.
Text can misspell
Short titles render reliably, but letters can still drop or swap. Regenerate until it is right, or add the text yourself in an image editor.
Invented names only
Do not put real artist or band names, logos, label marks, or copyrighted characters on the cover.
Square format only
This page locks the aspect ratio to 1:1. Widescreen or vertical variants are not offered here.
Prompt cap
Prompts are limited to 1000 characters. Lead with what matters — genre, mood, and the title text.
Album cover questions
Can I put my album title on the cover?
Yes — write the title and artist name in quotes inside the prompt. Short, spelled-out words render most reliably, and you should still check the lettering before using it.
What size is the downloaded cover?
A square 1:1 image. Check its pixel size against what your distributor or platform requires and upscale it if needed.
What does a generation cost?
Each run spends credits from your account balance — the exact amount is shown on the Generate button before you confirm.
Do I need an account?
Yes. Generating uses credits from an account, so you'll be asked to sign in before your first cover.
Can I make a cover for a song I made here?
Yes. Generate the song in the studio first, then come back and describe its sound and title in the prompt.
Your next release needs a cover
Describe the record above and generate a square cover now — or create the song first in the studio.
