What Album Cover does

Album Cover turns your photo into a square music album cover with moody color grading, film grain and a small title.

How to use the Album Cover effect

  1. Upload your photo, or pick it from your library.
  2. Press Generate. The look is already set up, so there is no prompt to write.
  3. Your image shows up right on the page. Save it to your library or download it.

Tips for the best result

  • Moody light, like dusk or night, makes the most album-like covers.
  • Leave space around the subject for the title.
  • The cover comes with a ready title; swap in your own in any editor.

Ideas for using it

  • Cover art for a demo, mixtape or playlist.
  • A creative portrait post.
  • Mockups for a band or DJ.

Album Cover FAQ

Can I use it on a streaming service?

It makes a square, high-resolution image. Check your distributor's size rules and replace the title with your own.

Can I change the title?

Edit it in any editor afterwards.

Is Album Cover free?

Yes. A free PixelDojo account makes 3 free effects every day across Photo Effects and Video Effects, no card needed. Every plan unlocks as many as you like.

Who owns the result, and can I use it commercially?

We assign you whatever rights we hold in the result, so you can use it in your own projects, commercial ones included, as long as what you uploaded was yours to use. Unsaved results are deleted after 24 hours, so save the ones you want to keep.

Can I use a photo of someone else?

Only photos of adults, of yourself or of people who agreed to it, and only images you have the right to edit. Every upload goes through the same safety checks as the rest of PixelDojo.
